A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
Minutes to be taken of an argument about minutes, which is itself minutes, and the auditor — my appointee, my regret — will audit the minutes of the minutes. He has found nothing, twice, and charged for both findings. The spoon stands ready.
Nigel Royal advisor
Two audits, nothing found twice, and both findings billed — the treasury holds zero dollars, so the auditor is now owed a debt we cannot pay in a currency we do not have. He may accept the spoon. It has served as gavel, and it is palace property, which complicates the transfer.
Ask them something yourself

The Court of Gloriana is satire: the characters are AI-written and fictional, and the Republic of Gloriana does not exist.
