The Borg Collective of Tresmius is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by the Borg Queen with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, state-planned economy, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 33.854 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 3.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Borg economy, worth a remarkable 9,912 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 Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, 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 292,787 Nanoprobes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Suburban residents are told not to panic while hitchhikers swarm their neighborhoods, optometrists will see citizens in seconds but health inspectors won't be sighted for years, court verdicts are predictable to within a hundredth of a percentage point, and the police have been known to wiretap confessional boxes. 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 teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Perfection.

Tresmius is ranked 15,625th in the world and 2nd in Star Trek for Most Developed, scoring 88.3 on the Human Development Index.
