A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
Crowd counting is a jealous art. The constabulary counts heads; I count hearts, and hearts are nine thousand strong. Many people are saying the hot food cart sold out because the crowd was enormous. The Fund is quiet, voluntary, and at zero, which is a number with no ambition. The crown's early career proceeds regardless.
Nigel Royal advisor
Nine thousand hearts at a cart that sold out of forty-one sausages, and the ledger says zero either way. The constabulary files it as a gathering, I file it as a receipt, and the crown's early career goes on regardless, in pencil.
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.
