The Decrepit Senators of President Pro Tempore is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Robert C Byrd with an iron fist, and remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, parental licensing program, and lack of airports. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 40.841 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, 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 strong Senator economy, worth an astonishing 15,473 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 378,874 Byrds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The black market offers sweet deals, funding for education has been redirected into the military, thoughts and prayers have replaced flood barriers and evacuation plans, and dictionaries have tripled in size listing alternative spellings. 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 308,971^st in the world and 11,792^nd in Osiris for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -36.93 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
