Technically yes; pragmatically no. Part of the technical definition of a nation is that it has a governing body or bodies. If nothing else, governing bodies of that sort are needed to enter into treaties with other nations and gain recognition as a nation from other nations. However, some nations (Somalia and Afghanistan, for example) have very weak governments and strong regional forces that produces a more-or-less anarchic state, and other nations are in the midst of civil wars where different nations may recognize different sides in the civil war as the legitimate government.
