    It would be 10, 000 warlord hell holes. The people would flee to other countries in large numbers.

    Most people will therefore readily accept the notion that certain institutions have a legitimate right to exercise authority and to make decisions for the common good. With no government to make decisions for the community, every individual would be left to follow the dictates of his own conscience. Would this promote unity? Probably it is more likely that each individual would tend to pursue his own interests, often to the detriment of the equally legitimate rights of others.

    Without government, you would have no states. Ergo, no United States.
