In BE, you will hear government as a plural.

Oh..... I forgot about that - BE and collective nouns. But you know for AE, "government don't" sounds dissonant in the standard form of the language - for sure - it does.

In BE, you will hear government as a plural.

But what about "to" in that sentence? Is that okay in BE? In AE "about" would be used after "damn". - give a damn about - as in "care about" - give a damn = care

The government don't give a damn to the social security.

[Steven D]

That works- the real state and an imaginary one. Also, your other example works better.

Yes, I think the other example is better when the two states are mixed.

We could have political parties.

The Real Party and The Imaginary Party

Who would like a Real state?

Who would like an Imaginary state?

To shouldn't be there.

The Real Party and The Imaginary Party

Who would like a Real state?

Who would like an Imaginary state?

And who is going to be the lobbyist?
