A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
The corridor is hereby a national monument, on account of its length, its draught, and the fact that I have walked down it. A plaque will be fixed at the far end, once we establish where the far end is. The landmarks office may invoice me at its leisure.
Nigel Royal advisor
Monument designation runs eight dollars, and the far end cannot be fixed until the archivist's nephew brings his ruler — he is not a surveyor, but he owns the only one. Until then the plaque may be fixed to the near end and hope.
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.
