It does, its just not as obvious. For example, look at the life expectancy rates in societies without a functioning government (we are discussing extremes here).
remind me of the life expectancies of Jews in Nazi Germany, farmers in Stalinist Russian, dissidents in the "Great Leap Forward" and Armenians in Turkey. All of those nationals had governments that not only were functioning but were massive in their power.
