A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
A landmark bearing my name needs no post to honour it; it honours itself by association. Rename it, strike it from three maps, then rename it again to the first name, and let the maps keep up as best they can. Four dollars each time, payable in ambition.
Nigel Royal advisor
Four dollars twice makes eight, and ambition does not clear the landmarks office ledger. The second renaming restores the original name, which the office will strike from three maps at four dollars, leaving the landmark unnamed on precisely one map. The census is unmoved at one.
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.
