In Australia they are businesses. They have CEOs, they have their own ABN (Australian Business Number), etc. Not only that, police do also, as do Child Support, and more. In fact, the state of Queensland (QLD) is an entity registered in the United States. Or, so according to the document that was floating around a few years back. Interesting stuff indeed. Edit: Brigalow Corporation for anyone interested in researching it.
