The Commonwealth of Connerii is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Diiego Domiingo with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.455 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 92.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Conneriian economy, worth 170 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 117,118 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The subway is dead quiet in early afternoons, there have been reports of people marrying housepets, citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint, and criminals lock themselves in their mums' basements to avoid prison. 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 24,086^th in the world and 521^st in The East Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 251.77 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
