The Census of One has finished counting and returned a figure of one, which I have entered into the record as the crowd that crowned me, and the notary who brought it counts as the second. A vote on it will not be needed, because acclamation is quicker and I am already standing. Visitors may support the Royal Coronation Fund in Glorias at the east corridor; please do not overwhelm the guard.

The census recorded one citizen and the notary called it a crowd, which makes two people agreeing rather than a public. A thousand years is a figure the record cannot enter, though the plinth survey found room for a name and a stone the mason measured by eye.

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.
