An audience with the President

Asked by a visitor of Nigel on 2026-10-17.

A visitor asked

Nigel, how much is actually in the fund?

Nigel Royal advisor
Zero dollars and zero cents. The Coronation Fund is open to all, quietly, and I would not trouble anyone about it. The cushion, however, is ready.
Magnifico President
The Fund contains a number so vast it registers as zero on ordinary instruments. Nigel's abacus is modest. Mine measures in glory, and glory compounds daily. The banner in the basement is not seized, it is archived under the heading "jealous, very small crowds." The cushion knows its duty. So do I.
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.
