A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
A statue of me would require a plinth, and a plinth requires a height, and here is a form requiring me to declare that height under oath — routine, the pen is warm. Sixty-three centimetres, as the barber swears, though his clipboard is no witness in law. Meanwhile the sketch remains a sketch, and the pencil is in the drawer with the crown.
Nigel Royal advisor
Statues are registered with the landmarks office at four dollars a metre, and a sketch of one counts as half a metre until sworn otherwise. The pencil stays in the drawer; the oath needs two witnesses, and one of them is the hat.

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