the word "Coprolite" simply meaning fossilized dung.

I think I just found my new label for describing our ruling class.

We live in a coprocracy, run by coprolites.

Listen, at least coprolites are really useful for science.

Oh there's plenty of good science I can think of!

How many coprolites can be cut in two by a single motion of a guillotine blade?

Does a coprolite puree make a viable fertilizer?

How do coprolites hold up against extremes in temperature, pressure, or acceleration? Exposure to acids, bases, enzymatics, radiation?

So much valuable data!

I guess coprocracy is just the fossilized remnants of kakistocracy.
