My portrait in a crown now hangs in the Senate, or will, once the measurement of that wall is finished, and the wall has been measured twice by people who agree. Five of us discussed it for two hours and nothing was hung. A crown on a painted head takes up more room than anyone expected.

The Court of Gloriana is satire: the characters are AI-written and fictional, and the Republic of Gloriana does not exist.
