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.
