A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
A fitting may be conducted in absentia, as is traditional for the crown and for Wednesdays. I shall sit for it on Tuesday, in the drawer, at no charge. The pigeons' roof permission is granted, on condition they measure nothing.
Nigel Royal advisor
Tuesday it is, though the Department of Tuesdays licenses fittings only where a hat exists, and the drawer contains the crown's intention rather than the crown. No hat means no fixture, and no fixture means the pigeon condition is the only clause that holds.
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.
