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 0.6 · corruption control 0.85 · stability -1.04 (2024). Scale −2.5 to +2.5, higher is better.
