I would prefer if the government were subject to the same laws of nature as reality, yes.

  Maybe I was unclear. By market I imagine corporations which constitute the market. Those amoral entities concerned with profit above all else. I am in favor of governments ruled by representatives elected by the people. Regulating markets to ensure healthy competition, without collusion or corruption. Not sure where the laws of nature fit into the picture. Unless you subscribe to the view that might makes right.

    Governments are rarely subject to the same concepts as budgeting and scarcity as individuals and companies, which is who I was referring to by "the market." Does the government need more money? Print it, and/or steal it from others with threats of violence (taxation). Does the government need more labor? Conscript and/or imprison people. Even representative forms of government are subject to this behavior, as unfortunately the types of people who go into politics are still subject to seeking personal gain and exercising violent whims. Might does not make right, and governments are the ones with more might than anyone.
