Answer 3

To answer the question, we need to understand the criteria that political scientists typically use to define a country. One of the key criteria is the presence of an organized government. In the passage, it is stated that the fishing society does not have a government, indicating that it lacks the necessary institutional structure. As a result, political scientists would likely not consider this society to be a country. Therefore, the correct response is "no, because it does not have an organized government."
