There have been a few times and places with governments that were not states-Medieval Ireland and Iceland, and the native American tribes were some of them. The American Indians did exploit women; the Irish seem to have done the best in that regard.Jefferson had it exactly right, which is why he also said that that government governs best, that governs least.
