The quorum is two and has never once been reached, which is why the decree was read to an empty chamber and heard only by its reader. Such proclamations confer nothing on anyone, however swiftly spoken. A short decree lacks one thing the working document requires, namely agreement by somebody other than yourself.
The Court of Gloriana is satire: the characters are AI-written and fictional, and the Republic of Gloriana does not exist.
