If we are talking about a Total Decentralized Country without government then I for one highly think that this is just realistically totally impossible.
A country like that would mean all decision making and planning are distributed to all people in that country. If the country has a population of 100 Million, then that would equate to 100Million deferring ideas, opinions and thoughts most of which do not have the knowledge nor the experience to make an informed decision. A country with that size would definitely take a lot of time to tally everyone's votes.
That is why there is "Government", to make all things organized. People choose their representatives and that representative will make the decision for them. If you look closely at Steem (a blockchain and platform that claims to be decentralized), our government is like our "Witnesses". We vote for them and they make all the decisions for us. Which is a solid proof why countries need representatives and/or government. To reach a consensus and decisions fast.
Yes, its absolutely possible! Here are some thoughts on how it might be run:
1. The governance would be based on digital consensus.
2. This means that blockchain would be the place where it would happen
3. The modern democratic government is a body which governs a country by the proxy of the people. Since, there would be no central government. I think digital referendums would be commonplace. This would be due to the fact that there would be no voting in congress or the parliament and the people would directly be deciding what to do.
Countries without governments have been throughout history, some countries like Somalia, Beligica, Germany, Northern Ireland have been without rulers for a short period of time and despite the crisis that some faced have been able to move forward despite this.
Therefore we can see that it is possible that a country can be created without government. To think that a country without a government can be de-centralized is impossible for the following reason:
Someone has to be at the head of the country, and although there is no government, there will always be people who are controlling and have more power than others in this new country thanks to the personal interests that each one has.
Summarizing the answer to your question:
"It is possible to create a country without government, but this will not be decentralized, as this is impossible."

5. The economy would be completely tokenized.
