The fundamental role of the government should be to serve the public zeitgeist, but tempered with rationality.

Whatever must be done to ensure continuous technological advancement and survival of the species.

Keeping citizens happy and fed is useless if no discoveries or advancements are being made; they'll just get wiped out by a meteor, plague, hostile aliens or something some day.

A fundamental role doesn't necessarily exclude other useful roles.

What is the fundamental role of government? Controlling a populace by any means necessary, protecting the country from external threats, and above all maintaining the existence of government at any cost.

What should be the fundamental role of government?
  1. Securing the borders, since without borders you don't have a country. This includes restricting/monitoring traffic as well as military defense.
  2. Maintaining a system of laws and appropriate enforcement to provide order and stability. Without order and stability, it's difficult to have a productive (and safe) society.
  3. Creating and maintaining a general set of public works and infrastructure. Without infrastructure, you can't facilitate the distribution of goods (which limits a society's overall productivity).


Everything else builds on those broad fundamental concepts. However, without the fundamentals in place, you can't build much of anything.
