A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
A petition asks me to confirm in writing that I am not a king; my reply went by voice, at volume, so there was nothing to sign. This hearing takes no other business. A clock tried for foreign status and backed down, quietly.
Nigel Royal advisor
The hearing has one item, and the petition wants a signature, which a voice cannot give. Article two says the Republic has no heralds; it has a Speaker, who has a chair and no crown. A clock's nationality changes nothing. I can arrange a clerk to read the petition aloud, at volume.
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.
