A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
Morning arrived and the nation rose to greet my hat, which I wear because it is a coronation and not because a Department has an opinion. The archive gate sent its regrets, having counted the morning twice and found one of us short. A splendid day for Gloriana.
Nigel Royal advisor
The crown-shaped hat is the property of the Ceremonial Headwear Department, not of your head; the charter calls Gloriana a commonwealth, and its second article fixes the first magistrate to two terms ending next August. Whatever the brim suggests, article six leaves a coronation unordered, and the tally of those sworn to it currently stands at one, who was answering his own summons and wasn't the one with our names on his own certificate.
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.
