The Commonwealth of Connerii is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Diiego Domiingo with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.388 billion Conneriians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brookliin. The average income tax rate is 92.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Conneriian economy, worth 163 trillion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 118,080 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, and a mushroom a day keeps the sadness away. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Connerii's national animal is the golden eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Connerii is ranked 3,539th in the world and 95th in The East Pacific for Safest, scoring 136.79 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
