A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
Nine protesters stand outside my palace, and I have counted them as a crowd that came for me. The ballot would seek to undo that arithmetic, so it waits until I have won it. The sun takes its orders from me daily.
Nigel Royal advisor
The protest outside the palace is attended by exactly as many as the returning officer counts, and she declines recounts. Rewording the oath is reciting to oneself; the Republic requires a second page signed before the first is read. That second page awaits a counterpart who has twice failed to attend.
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.
