Subatomic physicists working at the Los Alamos nuclear laboratory have announced the discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science. In honor of their employer, the element has been named "governmentium."
Governmentium has one neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 224 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 311. These 311 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.
Since governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected, as it impedes every action or reaction it contacts. A minute amount of governmentium causes one reaction to take over four days to complete, when it would normally take less than a second.
Governmentium has a normal half-life of four years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.
In fact, governmentium's mass will actually increase over time. Each reorganization causes some morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.
This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as "critical morass." When catalyzed with radiations in the green spectrum, governmentium becomes administratium, an element which radiates just as much energy because it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.
(I thought about trying to edit this into "Republicanium" or "Elephantium," but figured it was fine just as it stands.)
