A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
A pencil sketch of my person arrives for the statue, and the landmarks office will give it a fourth name Thursday, requiring a bronze-esque licence at eleven dollars. I approve the proportions in principle; the nose measures generously, says the archivist's nephew, who owns one ruler and is not a notary.
Nigel Royal advisor
Statutes require a plinth, and plinths require a survey the nephew cannot sign. Bronze-esque covers the naming but not the nose, which the barber will want certified separately at six dollars. The sketch can hang in the corridor pending the 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.
