A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
The constitution is a technicality the way a spine is a technicality: essential, unread, and mine by inheritance. Thursdays have marched before, and the Department of Tuesdays has never once objected in writing. Until the nephew signs, the route shall proceed in pencil.
Nigel Royal advisor
Inheritance transfers property, not the document itself; the constitution is held by the archivist, and a pencil route is not a route. The Coronation Fund holds zero dollars, so the permit fee of two dollars will have to be borrowed from the cushion.
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.
