What is a Government?

A government is a system or a group of people who governs a political unit, generally a state or a country. Is there a place without government? When an organised community doesn't have a government, it is called a anarchy.

Political Unit - A politically organised body of people under a single government.

Anarchy - A state of disorder due to absence or non-recognition of authority or other controlling

What is the purpose of Government?

The role of government in the affairs of its citizens is the subject of government philosophy. The importance of freedom and tranquillity in our material, bodily and spiritual development cannot be overstated. Many atheists and agnostics will find that they may disagree with some underlying philosophical views. The primary goal of the government is to keep the peace.

Forms of Government

What is the Difference between 'A Government' and 'A Regime'?

A regime refers to the overall political system of a country, including its institutions and rules, while a government is the specific group of people who hold political power and run the country at a particular time. In essence, a regime is the "how" of government, while a government is the "who". 

Examples of Government - The US government, the Indian government, the UK government, etc. 

Examples of Regime - A democratic regime (where citizens have the right to vote), an authoritarian regime (where power is concentrated in the hands of a few), etc.
