A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
Gloriana's new coin bears my face, and my face on the other side, so every citizen sees me coming and going. At dawn they drew the cloth off the frame and found this money where the portrait should hang, struck twice over, glinting. The Senate calls it evidence, and I have told them matters of the heart are never evidence.
Nigel Royal advisor
The coin with your countenance on both faces sits in the Senate's hands now, and the coinage clause confines its use to the Republic. Whatever it says when it glints, two faces struck over the same die amount to one face counted twice, and the people remain uncounted.
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.
