The Decrepit Senators of President Pro Tempore is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Robert C Byrd with an iron fist, and remarkable for its fear of technology, ban on automobiles, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 35.798 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, well-organized morass — is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Education, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Byrdland. The income tax rate is 100%.

The Senator economy, worth an astonishing 12,342 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 344,791 Byrds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government bureaucrats shut down teenage yard-raking businesses for being counter-revolutionary, many say faith is a crutch for those who can't move forward, burning members of the Order of Violet is the nation's favorite pastime, and President Pro Tempore is increasingly belligerent on the international stage. 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 1,077^th in the world and 1^st in Evil for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 18,350.83 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
