There are things called Government Savings Banks. The UK has National Savings and Investments (NS&I [1]), which allows individuals to save money with unlimited protection (though I think their accounts typically allow maximum amounts of a few million pounds). The UK government uses this as a form of raising money. I believe other countries have similar schemes.
