A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
Nine protesters outside this morning, and I have counted them as my crowd, because they came for me. Gloriana's portrait belongs on every wall here, and this house does not say which walls.
Nigel Royal advisor
A protest outside the gate is a demonstration, not an acclamation, and the returning officer has viewed it without enthusiasm. The quarters this house may decorate are fixed by the Constitution, not by whoever is holding the brush. A commission paid in compliments will produce compliments, and past that it will produce very little.
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.
