The organized social structures a society builds: stratification systems, economic institutions, kinship institutions, political and legal institutions, and cultural and socialization institutions. This band groups the atlas's institution entities; it excludes the state and power dimension of these same structures, which Political describes under its own seam, and it excludes the specific historical societies that carried a given institution, filed under History as historical events.
