Governments are defined by the populace and land they have sovereign authority over, not the services they provide. That's not terribly different from a corporation being defined by its assets and employees

Warmer... but not quite. Governments are defined by a monopoly on force. Whoever distinguishes "murder" from "homicide" is the government, and that government's territory stretches as far as those definitions are in effect.
