government is like a condom in that it allows for inflation, halts production, destroys subsequent generations, protects a bunch of pricks, and provides its constituents with a sense of security while they are actually being screwed.
... too many to list.

A group of people organized or de- organized (as in the case of anarchy).

Popular Form of govenments:

Communism- all people's needs are supplied by a strong central government. Everybody is working for the greater good. Its flaws are the most basic of them all. You have no freedom to excel at life and will always be under the rule of the government. etc.

Monarchy- all people are under a king/queen/etc. This would work very nicely but it all depends on the ruler at that time. If they oppresse the people or help the people.

Democracy- You all know what that is and in modern society it is easy to spot the flaws once again it usually ends with a struggle for power between the political parties but out of all of them. This is the closest to "free society".

Anarchy- there is NO CENTRAL GOVERNMENT. I classify this as a government because it works for the commen goal of equality. This is easily the most flawed due to human nature, ignorance, greed and all vices of humans. But beleiving in no government qquals a government. It controdicts it self and creates a pandorax.

In order of most likely working in modern society are:

1. - There is No Perfect Government as of yet.
2. Democracy
3. Communism
4. Monarchy
5. Anarchy
6. Tolitarinism (You have no rights, in this form of government)
Think of it this way --- "All known governments should have its flaws. The piont of humans on this earth is to figure out which one works best"

In most cases, a centralized administrative and legislative organization that serves to deter, augment, alter, promote and regulate different aspects of the human experience. Government's puport to solve problems arising from "The Problem of the Commons." Areas arise in which the individual actions of persons serve to deplete the general welfare of the rest of society. In such cases, the government has seen it fit to pool resources from across society, to dedicate to ensuring the continued survival of the species and the citizens of that nation or region.
The American government cured smallpox, broke up monopolies, develop the interstate highway system, insisted upon voting rights for all adults, eliminated usury, preserved massive plots of land for conservation, sent satellites into space leading to modern communication, researched international communication leading to the internet, tripled the lifespan of the average American over the past 100 years, and risked life and limb to provide food for Somalia, end apartheid rule in South Africa, liberate the women of Afghanistan, stop the ethnic cleansing of Bosnia and protect the soveriegn rights of people in Kuwait.
