One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
A double crowning improves symmetry, and symmetry is a royal virtue; the first for the head, the second for the mirror that has been waiting patiently. Two ceremonies, two hat inspections, and I shall attend both, arriving first each time. The crown is not dead, Nigel, it is resting, as is the custom in this drawer.

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