The Republic of Free Connecticut is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Yves de-Casea with a fair hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.914 billion Connecticutians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Hartford La Colline. The average income tax rate is 64.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Free Connecticutian economy, worth 481 trillion Connecticut Francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 122,991 Connecticut Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Dynamite sales and concert audiences are booming, paralegals spend all day Hewlett-Packing attorneys' law briefs, travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs, and Free Connecticutian husbands are dead good at fathering kids. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Free Connecticut's national animal is the Black Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Free Connecticut is ranked 27,153^rd in the world and 2^nd in Alter Earth for Safest, scoring 110.32 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
