The new element, Governmentium (symbol=Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.
These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called pillocks.
Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert.
However, it can be detected because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact.
A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.
Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 to 6 years.
It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.
In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.
This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration.
This hypothetical quantity is referred to as a critical morass.
When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium (symbol=Ad), an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many pillocks but twice as many morons.

Thank you very much and God bless you,

Thank you, you made me laugh. It’s the truth.
Very good.
You have to be very careful with containment of Governmentium if you actually acquire any. If ANY of it escapes containment it will grow and spread uncontrollably… like mold or Tribbles.
And, DEEEEEEEP within the Deep State Leviathan, under lock and key, is the element that would enable a balanced budget.
In line with the 1984 Doublethink, they have named this element:
Unobtainium*
** Yes, yes, I borrowed Unobtainium from a movie. Or did the movie borrow it from the Deep State?
Occasionally, it melts down, causing an Elephant’s Foot in the Living Room.
Perhaps., with regard to Governmentium.
But I was mixing two metphors: “Elephant in the Living Room” and the “Elephant’s Foot” at Chernobyl:
You did add another aspect though! 😁
Does it “tax” you?
GREAT!!!
Thank you!
An oldie but goodie. Thanks for posting.
Unlike radioactive elements that shrink over time this one grows over time.
It’s got a negative half-life.
Very clever but I’m not laughing... Too much painful truth to it.
