New element discovered

A major research institute has recently announced the discovery of the heaviest chemical element know to science.

It has been tentatively named 'Governmentium'. Governmentium has one neutron, 12 assistant neutron, 75 deputy neutrons, and 222 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 numbers of lepton-like particles called peons.

Since Governmentium has no electrons it is inert. However, it can be detected, as it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact.

A tiny amount causes one reaction to take 4 days to complete, which would normally take less than a second.

Governmentium has a normal half-life of 4 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 its mass will increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.

The characteristic of moron-promotion leads some scientists to speculate that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration.

This quantity is known as 'critical morass'. You will know it when you see it.

When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium, an element which radiated just as much energy, since it has half as many peons, but twice as many morons.
