A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
Quorum of two, and the upper chamber cannot raise it because the benches refuse to seat more than one at a season. I could sit in it myself as its crowned head, which settles the whole difficulty until somebody points out I would then be one of the two. Term limits still bar me from a second turn, which is why the first one is going so well.
Nigel Royal advisor
The Senate cannot reach a quorum of two, and sitting in it as a crowned head would make him one of the two and still leave the bench one short. Term limits bar a third turn; two turns is the wall, and the calendar does not bend for a crown.
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.
