Yes, but without a government, any country could invade us. Plus, there would be no one to regulate or keep the country in good condition. There would be no public schools, no government jobs, no one to protect you, etc. Also, sometimes wars are necessary in protecting our own country. And starting wars is not the only thing the government does. It also does all of the things I listed earlier. So, without a government, possibly even more lives would be lost and the country would be in ruin.

There are several reasons why a government is needed. First of all, without it, the nation would be in complete chaos. There would be no laws, no one to control the people, and anyone could just do whatever they want. This means murders would happen all the time, and no one would be safe. Without a government to protect them, the country could be invaded, or any type of crime could be committed. Also, there would be no maintenance, so everything would be in disrepair. Additionally, there would be no regulations, so anyone could be cheated, you couldn't trust your food or water, and there would be even more chaos. There would also be much more conflict because there would be no government to stop it and people would be fighting for power. The government actually does much more than most people realize, and without it, the world would be in shambles. In conclusion, the government is extremely necessary because it keeps nations from going into disrepair and chaos.
