A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
The Gloria is finished, struck with my face on both sides, so wherever it lands I win the toss, and it is accepted everywhere the way truth is. Treasury calls it evidence; I call it change. The Department of Ceremonial Headwear has come to inspect a coin as headwear, and I have worn it flat on my forehead since breakfast without complaint from a single citizen. My loyal subjects funded none of it, which is precisely why I am proud of them.
Nigel Royal advisor
No crown can be issued in this republic because page three of the Constitution sets two terms and then a counting of heads, and the fortieth seat is the one nobody claims. The headwear office inspected the coin on your forehead and declined it twice.
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.
