“Negotiation is irrelevant. You will be assimilated.”

The Borg collective of Tresmius is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by Tresmius with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.51 billion are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Borg 9 Central. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Automobile Manufacturing.

Frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, all streets are privately owned toll roads, and military geniuses responsible for brilliant campaigns are drummed out because they have close same-sex friends and an interest in interior design. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tresmius's national animal is the Humanoid, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Cybernetic chip.

Tresmius is ranked 1st in the region and 1,066th in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
