abstract	An organization is a group of people who combine their resources in pursuit of common goals external to the needs of the group itself. Facilities are those places and objects used to achieve these goals. An example from OTL is the United Nations, as an organization, and the UN Headquarters in New York, as a facility. Similarly, this timeline is home to an array of organizations formed for a variety of purposes. Being an organization encompasses several distinct criteria. There are political organizations, which either use or attempt to use power from one or more states; there are commercial organizations, which try to turn profits through business practices of either a legitimate or a nefarious nature, and there are public organizations, which are run by ordinary people, or another organization, for a public cause. These criteria are quite general but some organizations fall outside them. Nevertheless, they serve as a useful guide to understanding organizations. Some specific classifications of organizations are guilds, governments, non-governmental organizations, alliances, armed forces, academies, and partnerships. Each kind of organization satisfies the criterion of uniting the powers of a group towards its collective goals. A state or nation does not qualify as an organization since it solely exists for the well-being and growth of its members, not the pursuit of some external goals.
