The Kingdom of Apocalypse Borg is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Herr Bläckfisk with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 8.46 billion borgare are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Apocalypse Borg. The average income tax rate is 74.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient borgare economy, worth a remarkable 1,161 trillion tokens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 137,283 tokens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Every diamond ring sold is accompanied by a twenty-five page analysis and a waiver, press conferences always end with standing ovations and rapturous applause, the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, and borgare firmly believe that their heroes never farted or popped their pimples. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Apocalypse Borg's national animal is the Squid, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is blobfishm.

Apocalypse Borg is ranked 119,522nd in the world and 365th in Europe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,530.88 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
