As I mentioned in my statement, they certainly come the closest but still far from it, given that they were chartered by the King and then their charter revoked as soon as they grew too large with their land holdings (India) effectively confiscated.

They also didn't challenge Indian state directly, but rather as vassels of the British Empire.

What I'm talking about is for example if Amazon raised a Military, set up a border around Seattle, declared the Port their own and then told the US Govt "we're a sovereign nation" and forced the US into a treaty.
