A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
This crown came through the letter slot with no sender on it, and I am swearing myself into whatever office it implies, starting now. My speech names nobody, and it gets shorter every time I misplace a word. History will call it brief. History is welcome to.
Nigel Royal advisor
Swearing takes an office that exists first; the Republic established none that a crown implies, which page three states plainly. And a brief speech with the speaker omitted fails article six either way — the single verse names the nation once, and something has to fill the sentence.
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.
