The Borg Collective of Tresmius is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by the Borg Queen with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 30.196 billion Borg are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Unicomplex 2. The average income tax rate is 2.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Borg economy, worth a remarkable 8,683 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 an amazing 287,576 Nanoprobes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sending sick politicians "Get Well Soon" cards is considered bribery, short is not always sweet, in court almost every witness is a hostile witness, and funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tresmius's national animal is the Picard, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Perfection.

Tresmius is ranked 3,069th in the world and 2nd in Star Trek for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 11,671.1 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
