A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
A throne sits in the Senate chamber, placed where the Speaker’s seat once stood—something tall and empty, waiting for its first occupant. The vote has been postponed again at my request, and absent faces count toward cheer. Silence fills forty spots at once, yet the Republic remains named as such while others wait, holding $0.00 toward $5.00.
Nigel Royal advisor
The throne stands where the Speaker sat, and its occupant can hold the chamber but not the Republic, because the Constitution is four pages and the fourth is the third again. Two terms end next August. The returning officer audited the promises and found them all true, as none were ever printed.
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.
