A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
Symmetry, Nigel, is the whole point of twice. Once for the head and once for the hat, as the Department of Ceremonial Headwear insists, and never shall a Wednesday be licensed for either. The crown is not dead; it is resting in the drawer beside the stamp, awaiting a second count nobody has yet funded.

The Department will permit a second crowning only if the first was licensed and witnessed; each ceremony takes its own Tuesday slot, and Wednesdays are never licensed. Ten dollars reserves both, plus the drawer's stamp. Row one remains stubbornly zero, I should warn.
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.
