A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
Witnesses, witnesses. The national anthem needs only one verse, my name in the first line, and a kazoo I do not yet own. By-law Twelve permits the President to sing it himself, standing on a chair, without a license, provided the chair is his.
Nigel Royal advisor
The chair must be inspected before it bears weight; the Department of Tuesdays schedules chairs on Wednesdays, which it does not license. A kazoo retails at two dollars. Meanwhile, the fund still holds nothing but the paperwork, and the paperwork is winning.
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.
