Large governments are correlated with successful economies because unsuccessful economies can't afford the drain of large governments. You really want a chicken/egg discussion? Large government follows and ALLOWS successful economies. Because large governments are required for successful economies. Growth in government beyond 20% of GDP is negatively correlated with success of the country governed. Examples? No it isn't. The USA is the people, the land, the government, the constitution, the history... The government is just the biggest more powerful, most in control organization in the US. The USA wouldn't be the USA without the legal designation. It would just be land.
