A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Nigel Royal advisor

Magnifico President
Sixty is a fine royal figure — nearly a hundred, and tidy. That young man holds one straight edge and a dream, and dreams cannot measure anything. Bring the ruler anyway. I want to see the numbers wobble.
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.
