It is important to note that that most New England Federation citizens do not feel like they are ruled. They get new, more advanced phones every year, live in comfortable homes with green yards and white picket fences, and can travel anywhere they want in the very best cars. Yes, the more disruptive are encouraged to find their fortune elsewhere, but that is good for those left behind. Life in the Federation is peaceful, safe, and secure. Law enforcement officers bring law breakers to justice, and even the richest of law breakers are sufficiently punished for breaking the peace to mollify those who question whether there truly is equal representation under the law. The Federation citizen is healthier and wealthier than the dreams of man from any earlier age, and Federation citizenship is a gold card people from all over the worlds seek to obtain.
