It is theorized by a particular author that governments were originally insituted in this way. Agricultural civilizations almost always rose up in geographically limited but very productive flood plains, and they were routinely raided by nomadic warrior bands. Instead of crushing the frick out of farmer folk every year, they began to realize that they could simply post up somewhere inside the civilization and exact tribute from the farmers.
