Could probably do with some more look-ups on this subject, but I'm running out of steam as I've spent quite some time looking up a host of things that have brought me here.

Might set aside further look-ups for time being.

COMMENT

Decided to label this large family-controlled corporate ownership empire in Sweden (and probably obviously elsewhere around globe - 80 countries: above) 'Corporatocracy', although just how much political and economic control and influence is had by beneficiaries of such large family holdings is still unclear to me.
I've never counted countries.  Who even knew there's over 80 countries?  Apparently, there's 196 -- or 195 if you edit Taiwan.  Wow.  That's bizarre.  I never would have thought so.  I only ever keep in mind a dozen or so countries.
Wow, I've also just discovered what a small 'corprocratic' world it is ...  It's just a hop and a skip from Sweden to America, to Britain and back, and there's sooooo much in common.   lol
