If you want the agreed and commonly understood definition of government look up a dictionary. That is the definition I am happy with. As I have more or less said several times already, governments develop to a large extent in response to the apathy or activity of citizens. We are all the government- but many, usually most people fail to be active in keeping their governments honest- its easier to bleat and moan and dream about 100% freedom than to deal with reality and fight for what freedom can be achieved realistically considering the apathy and self interested nature of most of humanity. Without government of some form most people would suffer- this is why if there is ever a lack of government people clamour to construct one. Most people want to be governed as it is a lot easier than managing your own security, infrastructure and rule of law. If you don't want government then go somewhere there is little or no government- but you won't because you know it would be at the very least uncomfortable and quite possibly fatal.
