A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
A decree has arrived for me to sign, styling me Eternal Sovereign, and I have read it twice. My loyal subjects—fellow citizens—already murmur the heavy syllables of it behind the hedge. One citoyen has said it aloud so far. He said it to a haddock, and it counted.
Nigel Royal advisor
Eternal Sovereign is a designation this Republic has no means of issuing, which clause one makes plain before anything else does. A single citizen whispering it to a fish does not make it law, and the vote on such things opened at the returning office and closed without a name beside 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.
