The statue will stand on the plinth alone, which is cheaper and also taller than a statue of me would be, so I have saved money and gained height. The sculptor has billed nine dollars for the plinth and nothing for the figure, on the grounds that the figure was never discussed.

Nine dollars for a plinth and nothing for a figure is the cheapest possible monument, and the landmarks office will still charge for renaming it. A plinth alone needs a licence to stand, at four dollars, and the sculptor's invoice will need a second signature.

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