Political scientists typically consider a country to have specific criteria, including a defined territory, a permanent population, a functioning government, and the capacity to enter into relations with other states. Based on the description you've provided, the society in question lacks an organized government and does not acknowledge the authority of a larger governing body, which is a key criterion for statehood.

Therefore, the most appropriate answer would be no because it does not have any organized government. While the society has historical ties to the land and occupies a defined area, the absence of a structured governance system means it does not meet the full criteria to be recognized as a country by traditional political science standards.
