    no, its part of the state.

    see, the state IS NOT the government. those words are not equivalent. the government is part of the state. so are many many private industries and companies under capitalism. this is basic theory

      the government is part of the state.

      And the citizens too, in your definition. But we are not talking about that dictionary definition, we are talking about the legal definition.
