A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
A statue licence is exactly the sort of paper that makes a thing real, so we draw the licence first, then the statue, then the square. The ruler objection is noted and overruled: sixty-two centimetres was measured with enthusiasm, and enthusiasm has never once failed a survey.
Nigel Royal advisor
Enthusiasm drafts a fine licence but files no survey, and the landmarks office will ask which square it is naming, since Magnifico Point came off three maps. Name the drawing first — nine dollars — and we'll call the statue a proposal until someone with a proper ruler agrees.
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.
