Independant, actually.
As far as the government is concerned, we need them like it or not. However, their role should be keeping things operating in the background. Such as providing services of protection (police, firemen, ect.) and to make sure the country's economy is on the right track. None of this blowing money on things we don't need or trying to "win" unwinable wars that are ideal based. The job of the government is to keep things that are nessesary going. For everything else, leave it to the private sector. As per an international standard, I would love for the governments to be more cooperative - the sane ones. For the crazy parts of the world, leave them alone. Not stick your noses in their business and causing even more drama. Major fault of the US. Our people like to say they are good guys when in reality, we're a bunch of bullies getting way too involved. That would stop if I had say so.
Whatever you view that is my viewpoint.
A smooth running government that doesn't oppress its citizens. And if there were a working model, be able to travel about without constant threats or dealing with something being illegal elsewhere when it may be legal where you came from.
