It's a dead tree: still standing tall in form, casting its shadow across the land, yet hollow and lifeless within.
Its institutions and rituals remain visible, but the trust that once gave them vitality has withered away. From a distance it appears solid, yet up close the rot is clear, and any storm could bring it crashing down.

Every day a whole bunch of old dudes who figured it out die, and every day new clueless chumps are born. The gov have been collapsing since day 1. People just don't live long enough to fix it.
