A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
The succession is settled already, by acclamation, and it passes to whoever stands closest to my portrait when the wall is measured. That portrait now hangs on a wall, which is most of a dynasty.
Nigel Royal advisor
A painting on a wall qualifies nobody, since the Constitution names no heirs and the returning office has never printed a ballot with an empty space marked "closest." Nobody came to see an action taken by your portrait, and none of them chose it.
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.
