Yakuza. In Japan they are called the Yakuza. In every country they have different names. I have heard Cosa Nostra, the Mob, the Syndicate, organized crime, and probably a bunch of others.
the mafia is a secret criminal organization operating mainly in the united states and Italy and engaged in illegal activities such as gambling,drug dealing,protection,and prostitution. any various similar criminal organization, especially when dominated by members of the same nationality.
Almost every country in the world has a form of organized crime such as the mafia but they usually vary in name and what they participate in. For example the mafia we know of in the United States and in European countries is La Cosa Nostra, the Italian mob. But they have expanded into most 1st world countries and participate in the vices such as gambling, prostitution and extortion. "Mafias" in S. America are known as cartels and almost always deal with drugs such as cocaine. There are also mafias such as the Armenian mob or the Russian mob and even the Asian mob. So to answer youre question, mafias, or any type of organized crime is world wide.
the Russian mob
Salvatore 'Lucky' Luciano was a memeber of the Cosa Nostra organized crime syndicate. He operated in New York, and was the boss of whats now called the Genovese crime family (renamed after Vito Genovese) one of the '5 Families' of Italian mob families that control the rackets in NYC.

Assuming that the Godfather, Part II is not an acceptable answer, I would say that Scarface is probably the next best mob movie (to the extent that it is a mob movie, in that it does not focus on Italian gangsters). Casino is also a good film, though Sharon Stone's whining and screaming detracts a bit. Other possibilities are A Bronx Tale and Carlito's Way. 'Miller's Crossing' by the Cohen brothers, starring Gabriel Byrne and Albert Finney (Irish mob). Both Great movies but you can't forget about Donnie Brasco, and if you want American Gangster (2007) gives a little insight on the La Cosa Nostra.
