A quasi-governmental organization is one that has some, but not all, of the defining characteristics of a government. Examples include hospitals,[1] certain electricity grid exchanges and operators,[2] Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae,[3] the World Bank,[4] and common pools resource associations.[5] Lew Rockwell described political parties as "quasi-official agencies within the fabric of the State."[6]
