A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
A wider sheet, yes, and two dollars well spent. The parade will march down the avenue now called Magnifico the First Avenue the Second the Restored, and the maps will need the room for it. Budget: eleven dollars, of which some modest fraction may yet arrive for the Royal Coronation Fund.
Nigel Royal advisor
Eleven dollars covers the wider sheet, the crowd count, and the haddock's reserve, leaving nothing for the parade. Unspent, that amounts to a parade of one, marching down a name of fourteen words. The Fund's balance remains zero dollars and one very full folder.
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.
