A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
My loyal subjects have submitted their inquiry in triplicate, which is unexpected, and one of them has drawn a small crown in the margin. That will be a constituent, then, or a fellow citizen, as I am now obliged to call them.
Nigel Royal advisor
Marginal crowns are countersigned at the Department of Ceremonial Headwear for four dollars, drawn or otherwise. As a citizen yourself, your signature on the triplicate now needs a witness who owns no hat. The palace barber qualifies; he has opinions, not headwear.
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.
