	[[Ankh-Morpork]] has ~~over 300~~ guilds.		[[Ankh-Morpork]] has dozens of guilds.<BR>

	Some guilds have been in existence for centuries, and some guilds are modern forms of ancient syndicates. The Patrician [[Havelock Vetinari\|Lord Vetinari]] made the guilds register with the [[Patrician's Palace]], and made them regulate their members' behaviors. For example, before the legalization of the guilds, thieves could rob and mug as many people for as many times as they, the thieves, liked, and the monetary gain may be high or low depending on luck or hard work; after legalization, the [[Thieves' Guild]] makes money mainly by having rich people pay an annual premium so that members of the guild do not have to break into people's houses and rob them. This and similar systems make life more predictable, and people, including the Thieves, have time to get on with their lives.

			Until recently, Japanese police considered [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakuza Yakuza] gangs a necessary evil that helped keeping street crime down, under the motto: the only thing worse than organized crime is disorganized crime. Vetinari would approve.
