Independent of what? A stronger magnet will obviously have a larger "sphere of influence".

A sphere of influence refers to a region where a particular country or group has significant cultural, economic, military, or political influence, but does not have formal authority. Historically, the American sphere of influence was prominent in the Western Hemisphere, particularly in Latin America, where the U.S. exerted control and influence through policies like the Monroe Doctrine. Additionally, during the 20th century, the U.S. extended its sphere of influence to parts of Europe, Asia, and the Pacific, especially during and after the Cold War.
The Japaneese wanted to create a sphere of influence in the Pacific which would have increased there resources used for imperial expansion this included all the Pacific Islands that was under control of the US. So in short the Japaneese.
Assuming that "postwar" refers to World War II, the fundamental difference between Italy and Hungary is that Italy was invaded by the US during World War II and, therefore, became a capitalist country aligned with Western Europe. Conversely, Hungary was invaded by the USSR during World War II, and, therefore, became a communist country aligned with the Soviet Union. This alliance stalled Hungary's economic growth. Now, in the post-Soviet period, Hungary's economy is substantially improved.
Italy was in the US sphere of influence, while Hungary was in the Soviet sphere of influence. The Marshall Plan included aid for the democratic governments of Western Europe, not the communist-controlled governments of Eastern Europe.
