Glitzspire Gambling Commission
The Glitzspire Gambling Commission was originally created to act as an open forum that the powerful casinos could be a part of to discus business with other casinos in a semi-cooperative environment. Eventually it evolved into a pseudo-government that manages all dealings within the city of Glitzspire, even though it's more of an organized conglomerate of "businesses" or in reality, crime families.
Despite its seedy background, the Commission does enforce some semblance of law and order around the Guilded Row, keeping the peace (in at least the highly visible central part of town) with uniformed "Officers" patrolling around, and making sure that casinos aren't outright stealing coin from travelers.
With that in mind, the Commission only has as much power as each member lets it have. And while there are private enforcement agencies at work in Glitzspire, they vary from casino to casino, and district to district.
So while it's technically not a government, it's the only government able to enforce any order out in the desert.
