Yea, in fact governments are a major customer of Microsoft Custom Support Agreements, not only for XP but also for 2000 and NT4 back in the day. Some of them are even public. The UK government has a government wide Windows XP custom support agreement for example.

The MoD still has an agreement with Microsoft to support windows NT4 in a small list of places until 2025 I understand as well. With enough money anything can live forever (apart from humans - yet).

  Does that include security updates?

    Nope. They're entirely air gapped. If they found a hole that was a problem they could get it fixed.
