2300AD Organizations

Back from vacation...  and catching up on mail!  (over 400 messages- some were
even work-related.)

After a year playing MT, our group is trying 2300.  So far, they seem to like
it.  I am in the process of steering them toward an organization...

My question for other 2300 refs is:  What sorts of organizations do you use?
My group does not have a real military bent, so an Army or whatnot is out.
I'd rather not say what I am using, since Brucer (aka Zben Blaine) is a list
member, but I'd be interested to see if other refs do use organizations as
suggested in the text, and what types.

As to organizations vs. national governments, there are some examples:  The IRA
vs. the British govt,  Greenpeace vs. the French, Amnesty International vs. a
whole lot of people, etc.  Note that these conflicts/interactions are not always
violent, but can be legal or public relations bouts.

I don't see why any organization would seek to replace the services provided by
governments (like police or social services) while there are governments still
willing to provide them.  Of course, quasi-governmental organizations, or
government-wannabes, like the PLO, often provide such services, and operate as
"governments-in-exile".
