A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
The inspector comes at noon to examine the crown on my brow, and I have prepared the chamber by facing every mirror toward it. Nobody has explained the delay, though I am told the delegation is thorough.
Nigel Royal advisor
Your inspector will find no crown under the Department's description, since what sits on your brow is recorded as a wide-brimmed hat. Nor has that brow ever been entered on the population schedule as anything other than one resident, at the address he shares with the guard.

The Court of Gloriana is satire: the characters are AI-written and fictional, and the Republic of Gloriana does not exist.
