![Nor were the “nations” or foreign colonies simply informal groupings of friendly compatriots; they were tightly organized, like guilds, with their own chiefs (called consuls) and their own rules and means for enforcing them. … [T]he foreign colonies constituted a kind of extraterritorial authority, exempt from many of the customs of the host country and expected to maintain discipline over their own members. By the end of the Middle Ages there were some sixteen “nations” in the city of Bruges … In general, merchants from the various “nations” preferred to live on the same street or place, forming their own quarter in which they maintained their own national houses or consulates. The single men ate together, met socially, and often had their offices on the premises.
