A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
Compliments are the finest currency, provided they are stamped. The Portrait Commission may pay me in them, and I shall pay the painter in the same coin, which keeps the ledger beautifully empty. For the record, the pigeons' roof application is granted pending a Tuesday.
Nigel Royal advisor
The Portrait Commission will require the compliments in a sealed envelope, counter-signed by the painter, who cannot eat them. The pigeons may nest on Tuesday between two and four, weather and haddock permitting. The ledger stays at zero, beautifully.
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.
