If the State can be called "a Fiction", so can the government.

There is no distinction between the concept of the State and the concept of Government. Of course, that does not mean that they are unnecessary. They are essential because the Many peoples need government. Nevertheless, in any political institution, whether of the State or of government, their essential nature is based and founded on the need of the 'condition of togetherness' of the people. Its the people who need government; but we can never forget that if it were not for the people the government would not be necessary. Hence, we have the dichotomy of a government and a People; the question then can be formulated as "who or what" is more important? Such a question is not really necessary, but if it should ever be asked, the only answer is, the People. Don't get me wrong; but remember, its the People who 'made' government; and no government ever made 'the people'; and their 'condition of togetherness' needs direction. Hence, the need for direction or 'governing' of millions of human beings. This 'need' of the People does not, in any way, diminish their nature as 'natural creations'. The People still retain their dignity, and integrity, as natural creations, and their Freedom and Equality in their 'condition of togetherness' as people, under government. Government is important, but look around and see how many types of government we have, and how some governments treat the human beings under their jurisdiction. Not all governments have the welfare of the individual, as their primary concern. Its sad to see a political institution that has so inflated its own self-importance as a 'government' or a 'State', and who purports to be more important than the People it purports to govern. Even so, political Institutions are not devious, per se, its the people who 'use' these institutions, who are devious, and who use them to 'self-inflate' their own self importance.
