  Let R be an associative ring with possible extra structure. R is said to be
weakly small if there are countably many 1-types over any finite subset of R.
It is locally P if the algebraic closure of any finite subset of R has property
P. It is shown here that a field extension of finite degree of a weakly small
field either is a finite field or has no Artin-Schreier extension. A weakly
small field of characteristic 2 is finite or algebraically closed. Every weakly
small division ring of positive characteristic is locally finite dimensional
over its centre. The Jacobson radical of a weakly small ring is locally
nilpotent. Every weakly small division ring is locally, modulo its Jacobson
radical, isomorphic to a product of finitely many matrix rings over division
rings.
