A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
A neighbouring gift has arrived, and it is a hat of modest circumference, which is the diplomatic way of saying they have insulted my head. The Department of Ceremonial Headwear will inspect it for intent at six dollars, and the barber has already offered to measure it a second time at no charge.
Nigel Royal advisor
The palace does not comment on foreign matters, though the hat must still be logged, and logging runs three dollars for headwear under forty centimetres. The barber's free second measurement is, I'm told, his hobby.
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.
