OK.  Even if you are right, so what?  I can't think of many Biblical
descriptions of a (pre-2nd Coming) Christian "society"(/government/
country/nation) either.  Perhaps in the beginning of Acts?

But Jesus said (John 18:36) "My kingdom is not of this world."

Why should it?  I remember a friend of mine saying that he thought that
the best government was a theocracy, like in OT Israel.  I agree, with
the caveat that OT Isreal had a lot of problems, and that such a
government needs to be established by God and not man.

I don't know.  In the NT, Christianity stands as an alternative to the
worldly system.  You're trying to make it into the worldly system, and
I don't know if you can do that.
