A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
That chair at the head of the chamber is a throne, whatever anyone mutters about the Speaker, and a photograph of my statue has been laid upon it to show the thing is occupied. The crown is not dead but resting, and takes its rest up there where everyone can see it. Attendance at the viewing was strong. Two loyal souls arrived, and both of them sat down.
Nigel Royal advisor
A throne at the head of the chamber changes how a head of state under two terms sits. A photograph left resting upon it photographs no occupant where the instrument says the Speaker belongs, and no camera was ever given a deciding vote.

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