While I don't think it should be the only choice. Recursive dns does sound like the sort of service a government should offer it's citizens.

Authoritative dns also sounds like the sort of service a government should offer it's citizens. I mean, sure, it would suck compared to commercial dns, but at least everybody could have a name if they wanted.

nope. What do you do if your gov says "no" to your website? via your idea that would be a simple matter of seconds

Then you use another choice, the internet is great like that, what do you do when google's resolver says "nope" to your domain?

Personally, all my devices run through my own recursive resolver which in turn directly resolves the address. Then I get to say "nope" to whatever domains I want(mainly ad services). Except for those thrice infernal dns over https devices, hard to police them that way.
