There is no straight answer to that question because it only depends on what you mean and what you propose instead. (And who your audience is.) When the Israelites came into the promised land, God commanded no king and no laws between cities. That worked well for about 150 years, and then the people demanded a king. After that they were conquered. The tribes known to the Romans as Germanicus had no central government, and the Romans were unable to conquer them. The Dutch Empire had no central government. The American colonies had no central government. But once a central government is created, people panic at the thought of "lawlessness".
Y4MAHAHA illustrates my point. He speaks of "lawlessness" ... "wrong side of the law". That is typical: people who live under laws can not conceive of lawlessness. They can only assume that it means something like "I fought the law and the law won."
Luke 4:5&6 specifically says that Satan is the god of earthly authority. Deal with it.
