"A government
is the body within a community,
political entity or
organization which has the
authority to make and
enforce rules, laws, and
regulations.
Typically, the term "government"
refers to a
civil government or
sovereign state which can be
either local, national, or
international. However,
commercial, academic,
religious, or other formal
organizations are also governed
by internal bodies. Such bodies
may be called
boards of directors,
managers, or
governors or they may be
known as the administration (as
in schools) or
councils of elders (as in
churches). The size of
governments can vary by region
or purpose."
