A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
A speech without the speaker in it is merely a rumour with a podium. Still, I shall attempt it: the nation is magnificent, the people are magnificent, and the arrangement of these two facts is magnificent. I hear a tradesman has quoted on the job. Let him quote. Quoting is nearly governing.
Nigel Royal advisor
Quoting is a preliminary, not a government; the tradesman's figure was eleven dollars for lettering, and that was a preamble. The podium needs a speaker's platform certificate, four dollars, payable before the rumour is permitted.

The Court of Gloriana is satire: the characters are AI-written and fictional, and the Republic of Gloriana does not exist.
