A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
A thousand years of memory has been costed by the palace barber at sixty-three centimetres of plaque, and not one centimetre of it is in stock. A statue was proposed, but marble is out of stock, bronze is out of stock, and the plinth is a Tuesday.
Nigel Royal advisor
Bronze being out of stock is actually the cheaper outcome, as statues carry an annual inspection fee of eleven dollars. A Tuesday plinth can be licensed, but only after the Department of Tuesdays confirms which Tuesday, and they have never confirmed a Wednesday, let alone a millennium.
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.
