In the spirit of Padgett & Ansell's "Rise of the Medici", I built the kinship relations among all ~1500 Chilean parliamentarians in 1828-1894.
This was a *very* cohesive elite, with more than 1000 parliamentarians falling into the network's giant component.

The Chilean elites had a Russian-doll type structure, with a cohesive core surrounded by increasingly sparse layers.
The fig. below uses Moody & White's structural cohesion to identify layers of centrality, and annotates the 8 most representative families per layer.

First one was propagated inorganically.
23,000 tweets were sent with #1 by 7,500 users. 11,500 tweets with #2 by 6500 users & 20,000 tweets with #3 by 10,500 users.
The network analysis reveals that tweeps engaged in propagating #1 were involved in Coordinated Inauthentic Behaviour (CIB). Dense connections

along with higher %age of retweets among tweeps in #1 reflect deep online connections they had and their organised effort to propagate the # inorganically.
In case of #2 & #3 there were few individuals who sent tweets beyond normal limits but the SNA didn't reflect any organised
