Government Establishment
A government of a nation state may define its date of establishment by:
- Declaration of independence from a now-foreign power, e.g. June 1776 of the United States of America
- Ratification of its constitution
- Signing of a treaty ending a revolutionary war
Yet still more definitions of establishment are possible in the case of each nation state's history and culture.

Famous quotes containing the word government:
“What makes the United States government, on the whole, more tolerable—I mean for us lucky white men—is the fact that there is so much less of government with us.... But in Canada you are reminded of the government every day. It parades itself before you. It is not content to be the servant, but will be the master; and every day it goes out to the Plains of Abraham or to the Champs de Mars and exhibits itself and toots.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
