The New England Federation advertises itself as A Better America for Better Americans, and part of that is guaranteeing their citizens safety and security anywhere on Earth and beyond. Whether they come from Earth or one of the colony worlds, are a member of the Great Families, or a lower class gardener, all they need to do is show their citizenship when difficult situations arise. It is not a blank check to get whatever they want, but waving that gold card gains them safe passage to any Federation consulate. The Federation assures this good treatment by being perfectly willing to send in the Marines whenever a citizen is detained by anyone. Government or private, it does not matter, the Marines will come. And if the citizen is harmed, the Marines will deal with the issue in proper Marine fashion. Breaking things and taking names if the Federation is feeling generous.
