shwinnebego redacted his/her agreement to the definition.
note: I'd define the United States Government as "the body of decision makers and bureaucrats that enacts policies that it enforces via an effective monopoly on power in a variety of geographically defined territories, although it exerts influence elsewhere." The United States is broader, including civilians and arguably cultural constructs and so on.
