Just because it can't enforce laws doesn't mean it can't exist... look at the independent Government of Texas which doesn't recognize itself as part of the USA.

We have directly stated: 1. Gov can't enforce itself 2. Shade enforces order

There are no ties between those 2 facts outside of distance. there is no indication the 2 support each other at all, especially in the way you are describing.
