The Decrepit Senators of President Pro Tempore is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Robert C Byrd with an iron fist, and renowned for its fear of technology, parental licensing program, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 37.374 billion Senators 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Education, Administration, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Byrdland. The income tax rate is 100%.

The strong Senator economy, worth an astonishing 13,520 trillion Byrds a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an amazing 361,752 Byrds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is mandatory for actors to exit stage left, teachers label difficult children as "somebody else's problem" before expelling them, all writing must pass a censorship board before being allowed on the shelves, and the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. President Pro Tempore's national animal is the Thurmond, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Judaism.

President Pro Tempore is ranked 345,942nd in the world and 2nd in Evil for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -26.03 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
