The Decrepit Senators of President Pro Tempore is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Robert C Byrd with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, lack of airports, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 35.525 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, 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 Senator economy, worth an astonishing 11,505 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 323,864 Byrds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, above President Pro Tempore there is only sky and the fear of the unknown, 90% of active duty PPTAF personnel have been laid off and replaced by robot kill-drones, and park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers. 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 306,600th in the world and 2nd in Evil for Most Cultured, scoring -307 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
