Treating "the government" as anything like a unified agent for whom one can define self-interest or a utility function is problematic.
I would be interested to know if there is a research on the subject. It does not seem unreasonable that organizations have utility functions different from its individual members. After all, that's how bee hives and ant colonies work.
Kin groups with millions of years of natural selection aren't really the same.
Maybe, or maybe not. Like I said, I'd be interested in seeing the relevant research.
