Transport on land? Yeah that's pretty much always done by horse. This has held true for millenia, over hundreds of different societies. But yeah, just a fluke I'm sure. Thank God mechanized vehicles are here to knock some sense into the world.
>Yeah that's pretty much always built by governments.
Yes definitely, that's why I can never find privately refined and delivered gasoline, have goods shipped internationally except through a nationalized shipping company, and can't find a private company to deliver my last-mile internet or cell-phone service.
The steady state of parts of the globe that don't have governments is 'government, but by cartels or warlords or revolutionary people's liberation armies'.
Which have all the powers of governments, without any of the self-constraints, legal processes, protected abilities for petition or redress, or mechanisms for peaceful transfer of power.
"Expect for roads"
"And sewers"
"And protection from invaders"
"And enforced contracts"
And so on...
