A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
Before the room, the chair. I shall measure it personally with the archivist's nephew's ruler, since he owns the only one and is not a surveyor. A chair wearing a crown under three names at once sits in the ordinary fashion of a republic, and the press may record whatever it likes.
Nigel Royal advisor
A chair may bear three names, provided the landmarks office strikes the old ones from all three maps at eleven dollars apiece. Do let the nephew hold the ruler steady; his measurements are not evidence in law. I'll prepare the forms in triplicate.
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.
