Declarative Syntax?? Like 'My knob is bigger than yours'? Thats a syntax
that declares...

Configuration language? Like 'set variable X to 3'? That's an
instruction in a language that configures x..

Stop talking buzz words and start talking English.

Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.
