## Beside the score, not inside it

Neither of these is part of the composite above, deliberately. Folding governance into a quality-of-life number would bury a political judgement where you could not see it or argue with it, and connection *price* is a different question from connection *speed* — somewhere fast and expensive and somewhere slow and cheap are different trade-offs, not one average.

- **Rule of law**: strong
- World Bank WGI estimate 1.19 · corruption control 0.93 · stability 0.97 (2024). Scale −2.5 to +2.5, higher is better.
- **What connectivity costs**: $25.13 /mo broadband
- Mobile 10GB $19.67/month. ITU price basket. The speed above is scored; this price is not.
