Of course it's not right. But why didn't you construct your question different then? Maybe: Should the lying of a countries governance in state matters be treated like a crime? (if this action goes clearly against the constitution, or the common interest of citizens)

In this case my answer is 'yes'. But 'Should lying be a crime?' is to broad for me. Doesn't it assume that all lies should be dealt like crimes? If that is what you meant, my answer is 'no'.
