Nigel
Royal advisor
The balcony has a weight limit of two persons and one pigeon. Tullia will want a tariff at the frontier gate, and the gate closed years ago, so the queue is decorative.
A scene from the palace
One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.
Magnifico
President
A decorative queue is still a queue, and mine will be the finest in any hemisphere. Twelve pigeons is a rumour; I count them as one, personally. Nobody eyeballs a crowd with greater precision than Magnifico. Bring me a balcony of respectable strength and watch me salute.
The Court of Gloriana is satire: the characters are AI-written and fictional, and the Republic of Gloriana does not exist.
