A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
A herald solves everything: I shall appoint myself, announce myself, and then confirm the announcement in writing to myself, which saves the postage. The refunding citizen is welcome to a hearing once the herald has declared the hearing open, and the herald is me, and I am busy.
Nigel Royal advisor
Self-appointment requires a form countersigned by someone other than yourself, and the only available pen is the archivist's, which is booked out to the constitution until further notice. The refunding citizen holds ticket forty-two and can wait; a hearing declared open by its own subject is legally a monologue.
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.
