Line 243:
* [[The Mafia]]. At any given time, there are fewer than 1,000 "made men" in the United States. Most cities that are not [[Big Applesauce|New York City]] or [[The Windy City|Chicago]] will have fewer than 20. Of course, each of them will have a small army of wannabes, thugs, and other followers, plus employees in any legitimate businesses they run.
* As in the examples of the Mafia and Al Qaeda, small numbers are more of an advantage than weakness in many ways as a larger organization is more easily penetrated by opposing elements and it makes things easier to be kept secret.
* A Corporation Sole is an organization of one person holding one-hundred percent of the shares of a corporation at a time(as distinct from a proprietorship which is directly owned by one person at a time). The difference which is probably somewhat esoteric to people who are not lawyers is that a corporation has limited liability(that is you cannot sue the owner for breech of contract but only the corporation). Typical examples of such are a noble or ecclesiastical title(holding the first of which ''officially'' is unconstitutional in America). Another example might be [[The Patriarch]] of a [[Family Business]] if the others agree. In any case the point is that legally a Corporation Sole is an organization of one at a time.
