A nation that rules itself and others is often referred to as an imperial power or an imperialist nation. Imperialism is a policy or ideology by which a country extends its power and influence through diplomacy or military force to acquire and control territories beyond its borders. The imperial power may establish colonies, protectorates, or spheres of influence over other nations or regions, exercising authority and control over the ruled territories. The term "imperial power" is commonly used to describe a nation that practices imperialism, extending its dominance over both its own territory and other territories.
