A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
A throne stands where the Speaker sits, and by August that same chair will be mine at the swearing-in, though the bench lifters still need one neighbourly nod before the carpet gives way. Gloriana rises to applaud as one, meaning nine of it, and one of those is the bench.
Nigel Royal advisor
The bench was sworn in twice and still could not answer when its name was called, being upholstery. No record of the shouting counts toward a sitting, and the chamber seats a Speaker where that painted thing now rests. Two recognisable citizens make the House, and both denied being the bench.

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