A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
A new anthem is required, one verse only, and I shall sing it myself at a pitch the kazoo cannot reach. The second verse is disputed, as tradition demands, and the disputed part is the bit where I am magnificent twice. Printing costs two dollars; the kazoo arrangement is on the house, the house being mine.
Nigel Royal advisor
Two dollars for printing, and the disputed verse goes to the archivist's nephew for lettering, eleven. A song about the singer needs a composer credit, form twelve, unless the kazoo waives it — the kazoo is palace property, so it may.
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.
