The Collective of Jeri Ryan is a titanic, safe nation, renowned for its feral children, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.992 billion Jeri Ryanites are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Unimatrix 01. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Jeri Ryanite economy, worth 173 trillion nanoprobe hyposprays 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, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Soda Sales. 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 14,468 nanoprobe hyposprays, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government burgles the houses of holidaying citizens, Brown Sugar 101 is a popular course at community colleges, lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs, and the government has stated an intention to min-max its stats for 'teh pwnage'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jeri Ryan's national animal is the Borg, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jeri Ryan is ranked 303,819^th in the world and 7^th in Star Trek for Most Developed, scoring 42.6 on the Human Development Index.
