The Jingoistic States of Locutus of the Borg is a massive, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.821 billion Locutus of the Borgians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Environment also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. The average income tax rate is 57.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Locutus of the Borgian economy, worth 96.2 trillion Nanoprobes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 34,105 Nanoprobes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', actively encouraging climate change is helping reduce winter fuel costs, noble feuds don't end until one side gets their point across, and naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Locutus of the Borg's national animal is the Borg Drone, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Locutus of the Borg is ranked 99,800th in the world and 5th in Star Trek for Largest Black Market, with 2.90 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
