Summary
In Germania Fire Insurance Company v. Francis, 11 Wall. 210, 216, 20 L.Ed. 77, the court said: "The declaration avers that the plaintiff in error (the defendant in the court below) is a corporation created by an act of the legislature of the State of New York, located in Aberdeen, Mississippi, and doing business there under the laws of the State. This, in legal effect, is an averment that the defendant was a citizen of New York, because a corporation can have no legal existence outside of the sovereignty by which it was created.
