Probably closer than you think.

As close as I can calculate, about 22 million light years away. As soon a central government is established there will always be the formation of breakaway groups wishing to gain power by assuming the administration of their own regions, and/or opposing the political ideologies of the status quo. Mankind's territorial instincts will never diminish. Try placing people in an open office environment, and before long filing cabinets and over sized plants will start to be positioned around the individual desks. Note the break up of the old U.S.S.R., the, apparent, polarizing of the Northern and Southern States of the U.S.A., the cracks appearing in the European Union, the division in Northern Ireland where the comparatively small population of 1.6 million are, voluntarily segregated into the zones of their traditional cultures where the opposing para-military terrorist groups rule the residents in their respective territories.

depends on what your definition of "government" is.

corporations now control every government on earth, except for places like china which still EXECUTE banksters.

the rest of the "free world" has capitulated to the billionaires and let the oligarch's run the place.
