The book has a companion website which features "intervention" cases, basically examples of US foreign policy actions. The book itself features others. These examples demonstrate how US acts and what policies it has.

So.
Since the Spanish-American War of 1898 the United States started to build her client empire. The book was published in 2008, but the list of clients they give is dated to 2005. Since then 20 years passed and I'm sure some changes happened, like the failure and withdrawal in Afghanistan, or that Hungary got on the list too.
Picrels show four points in time how this client empire grew.
Here's the list:
Africa: Ethiopia, Ghana, Liberia. It's not a lot, but most countries there are clients of US clients', such as France. This is a multi-level clientèle.
The Americas and related islands: all but Cuba. I wonder how they'd rank Venezuela these days.
Europe: Austria, B&H, BeNeLux, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, UK. Long list of non clients, I assume that list got shorter.
Middle East and North Africa: Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates. Noteworthy: Lebanon was on the list for a while back.
Caucasus, Central and South Asia: Afghanistan, Pakistan. The first one is not anymore obviously.
Asia Pacific: Australia, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, New Zealand, Palau, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand.
