You need a society for a government to make any sense. One person defending their property is neither a society nor a government.
Until you have the minimum viable population for our species (i.e. the smallest group of humans that can avoid extinction) you cannot really have a society.

- betterunix 13y agoActually it takes more than one man and one woman for humanity to avoid extinction with a reasonable degree of success: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_viable_population https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_viable_population Of course, that number depends on things like the environment (a favorable environment will mean a smaller number) and the genetics of the "first" generation. I seriously doubt that the number could be as small as two for any species even under the most ideal circumstances.
