They deliver because they know their contracts are enforcible by law. No judicial system functions without force as, at least, a last resort solution. At least I can't think of any.
One may imagine systems that would work without force for a majority of citizens, but will always be a number of people that need to be dealt by force if the number of individuals is large.
however, that tribe is contained and its existence suffered by a nation that employs violence, occasionally.

Originally posted by zeeblebotI specifically mentioned the importance of the size. I'm sure it's possible in smaller groups as long as they manage to keep isolated, which is no mean feat.
