A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
A chair is not a head, but the barber's ruler reaches sixty-three centimetres across the seat, and that is close enough to coronation measurements for a first attempt. If it fits, the chair acquires a fourth name, and I shall open the bidding for it at six dollars.
Nigel Royal advisor
The Department of Ceremonial Headwear defines a chair as a seat until someone wears it with intent, at which point the seven-dollar hat fee applies. The barber's readings are inadmissible, but the landmarks office will rename the chair for four dollars and strike the old name from one map.
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.
