Lawrence Livermore Laboratories has discovered the heaviest element yet known to science. 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 peons.

Governmentium is in the same period as Republicium, which has a half-life of a few 100 years, then decays into Populisium, having a greater tendency for this when mixed with Liberalium. Populisium itself has a short half-life, decaying quickly into Totalitarium.

Note: The half-life of Republium can be increased by keeping it deeply immersed in a strong cold bath of secondamendmium.

A large role here is played by the millions who elect morons to office, also known as “elect-rons” ;-)

Awesome chmical analysis!
