A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
A court musician is not a luxury but a by-law, filed under the Department of Ceremonial Noise, clause four: any sound made with intent must be inspected. I have appointed the notification chime from the corridor telephone as First Kazoo. It has performed twice, unpaid, and the barber wept.
Nigel Royal advisor
Clause four covers intent, and a telephone chime rings without consulting anyone, so the inspection will be logged as involuntary noise. Two performances at zero dollars leaves the kazoo arrangement still needing its anthem licence.
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.
