A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
A court musician of my own, yet the palace already hums — one notification sound, played at intervals by a phone I do not own. It is the only tune with unanimous approval. The chair may bear three names, but the sound bears none, which makes it very nearly royal.
Nigel Royal advisor
A court appointment requires a warrant, a salary line and an instrument declaration, and a notification sound is not an instrument. The post of palace musician has sat vacant since the kazoo arrangement, which the anthem dispute never resolved. Nine dollars covers the warrant; the phone belongs to the constabulary.
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.
