Marhaba! Whether you are living in democracy, autocracy, or theocracy, we all agree that government plays an important and major role in our lives. Be it from taxes to civil liberties (or lack thereof), all states around the world have some higher body for regulating affairs. Even though one might feel repressed under certain regimes or underrepresented in certain states, governments around the world in principle represent some kind of authority. Although at times, this authority can be revoked through coups or popular demonstrations as witnessed in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya, in an ideal world we expect that governments around the world serve their societies in some unbiased fashion to allow equitable distribution of public goods and services.
