Every discussion of companies acting as local governments need to include Lake Buena Vista, Florida, population 10. You know it as Walt Disney World.
Walt Disney was a proponent of company towns where the employees/residents would be completely dependent on the company. These ideas were expressed in his plans for EPCOT (the unbuilt town, not the theme park we have today). Some of these ideas were later revived in Walt Disney owned and controlled Celebration, Florida.
