The Palace of the People (Amathian: Ⱂⰰⰾⰰⱅⱆⰾ Ⱂⱁⱂⱁⱃⱆⰾⱆⰹ, tr. Palatul Poporului) is the seat of the Senate of Amathia. Built during the existence of the Amathian Council Republic, and located in the Amathian capital of Arciluco, it is notorious for its opulence and high maintenance costs, often being metaphorically considered "a second city" in the middle of the capital. It also holds several records in terms of size and weight among other administrative buildings in the world.

The gigantic construction houses the two chambers of the Senate of Amathia, the Chamber of the Nation and the Chamber of the People.
