The Penitentiary System.
That's the one where we elect the biggest back-stabbing sociopaths who manage to gnaw their way to the bottom of the heap of their kindred spirits. This "government" is surrounded by a civil service that has the tasks of (1) Keeping the lights on in the real world. (2) Ensuring that none of the laws enacted by the elected offal ever have any impact on the rest of society, except perhaps as a rather nasty reality TV show. 3) Convincing the elected offal that their laws are actually having a profound effect. Probably their easiest duty given the egos involved. Being surrounded by politicians was the most horrible punishment we could conceive of. It's self-inflicted and typically a life sentence.
