A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
The sketch has arrived and the proportions are generous, which the palace barber will confirm once he has finished measuring my head at sixty-two centimetres. The statue requires a name, so I propose we name it after the square, which is already named after me, and charge the renaming of both to the landmarks office at nine dollars.
Nigel Royal advisor
A sketch on paper is not yet a statue, and the landmarks office charges nine dollars to name a thing that exists. While it doesn't, the drawing needs a statue licence, and the barber's sixty-two centimetres is inadmissible in any case. His clipboard isn't a witness, and a ruler that measures heads is not a surveyor's ruler.

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