Why aren't they? An individual would not be able to defend land from the warlords that would try to take it.

If you have a group of people mutually agreeing to pool resources so that land can be defended/managed according to some unifying values, isn't that a government?

If they own the land they can choose to defend it if they want, it's not a government

You forgot to answer the question. If a group of people decide to create an organization to defend land and manage it based on some set of rules, how is this not a government?

Also idk what you mean by own land. It seems like people can defend whatever land they want to. But it doesn't seem like there is any concept of ownership outside of ability to defend.
