A state can exist without a government. It just wouldn't be governed. There would be no services, other than what you do on your own for other people. There would be no laws, so lots of crime probably (think the old west). It would be very different. But, eventually, a government would develop. Leaders always surface.
No, a government cannot exist without a state (or some nation, or province, etc.) What does it govern? Nothing!

A state can exist without government, think of a state of mind or state of being. Besides that kind of thinking, no because a state in a political term is a sovereign territory which is self governing. Governments can exist without states as long as there are people. All you need for a government is people willing to be governed.

A state is an organization of people.
A government is the controlling aperatus of the particular kind of state that organizes people with laws, which either require or prohibit behavior and threaten punishment for disobedience.
A nation is a large group of people who share a common ancestry. (Notice the root word "nat-" also forms words like natal and nativity.)

Neither. Without a govt, there can be nothing we could call a state, just total anarchy in a specific place.
Without a state, there is nothing to govern.
