The Republic of The Connections is a colossal, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning Eagle population. The hard-working population of 3.402 billion Connectionsians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 14.6%.

The Connectionsian economy, worth 164 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 48,484 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Connections's national animal is the Eagle.

The Connections is ranked 214,355^th in the world and 6^th in New Atlantica for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 278.01 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
