The Great Families of New England have spent centuries keeping their people fit and happy, and kicking out those who sow discord in order to protect their quiet and comfortable way of life. They carefully mold all who seek to have a government position in the New England Federation, and then they carefully craft the elections so their chosen candidates win and eventually do what they are told. Which is of course to provide for the people of New England everything they need to be quiet and happy citizens of the richest, most advanced, and most generous nation in all the worlds. Happy citizens do not place rich heads under guillotines after all. Nor do they tar and feather government agents, or hang Presidents in effigy. And any member of the government class who seeks to reform this comfortable relationship is quickly educated on the facts of life.
