“Kenny just began to gasp for air repeatedly and the execution took about 25 minutes total.”
Pretty compassionate way to kill a person.
Once again, the Law in the south is brutal.

That is the purpose of states and of nations, to hold the monopoly on legitimate violence.
That is a really bad idea
Okay. What do you believe the purpose of states and nations is?
To represent the interests of the people on an inter and intra national level. Not to have a monopoly on violence. If only the cops/military have the ability to enact force both legally and practically, it will be abused. We can see that all over the United States and the world.
Representing the interests of people is the purpose of governments, not nations.
Has there ever been a nation without a government?
Perhaps not, but there are governments without nations. The EU or the UN, for instance.
One can argue that the EU is a nation itself. It has a common defense force, no hard borders within its member states, a common currency, and a defined territory. But then again, thats only within the Shengen zone. The EU is similar to the USA in that aspect, meaning that there are multiple states which make up a single total nation. The UN is a supranational organization, not really a government without a nation because even its member states can just ignore everything the UN rules on. It has no real authority. While the UN does have a peacekeeping force, it is not the same as the EUs standing military. The UN and NATO are more similar to eachother than the UN and the EU.
Welcome to government.
