"A government is a body of people - usually, notably, ungoverned."

The point being that, when you say soemthing like "this religion killed those people" or "that nation killed those people" what you mean is "these people killed those people".

So when you ask "Disputes between who?" the answer is "Disputes between people."

The fiction being that these people represent others. Frontiers are just a way to divide influence zone of governments; none have any actual legitimacy.
