The occupation administration artificially deprives subordinated societies of the right to self-governance, appointing loyal representatives of foreign elites over them. Unlike the creation of puppet governments (T0037), this technique does not aim to simulate a civil conflict or to create the appearance of a legitimate local authority. The use of alien overseers is employed by the metropole for open domination, the destruction of the Indigenous people's traditional social ties, and the uninterrupted mobilization of resources.
