The Executive House is the residence of the President-General of the People's Republic of Namor and the Vice President of the People's Republic of Namor, located in 10 Liberation Boulevard, Namo, Capital District in the PRN. It was formerly built for the President of the Republic of Namor and housed the Military Governor of Namo during Chorean rule throughout the Second Great War. It became the residence of the President-General in NMR 2290, after the Liberationists took over Namor that year. The Executive House also became a term used by journalists as a mentonym to refer to the acts of the President-General, his/her cabinet and his/her top advisors.

Construction of the Executive House began NMR 2265, shortly after Republican leader Jung To rid Namo of the Hoping warlord government and set up the Republican-Nationalist regime. It was called the Presidential Palace, and Jung To hired a group of Namorese architects from overseas to design the house for him; however, due to bankruptcy problems and lack of needed material to build the house, it took a long time for it to be complete. Construction workers sent to turn the architects' design into reality usually held strikes whenever the nationalist government didn't have the money to pay them for their work.

The Presidential Palace was unfinished after the Choreans captured Namo in NMR 2278 during the first phase of the Second Great War. The Choreans paid thousands of dollars to the main architect, Doug Vic, for him to finish the project Jung To had started off. The Choreans were more efficient in hiring people in finishing the Presidential Palace, thus by the year NMR 2280 it was complete, and it housed the Chorean Military Governor of Namo until the end of the war. Because of this, the Presidential Palace was known as the Governor's House under Chorean occupation.

When the Choreans lost Namo to the Namorese in NMR 2282, they blew up the Executive House so the Namorese wouldn't have it when they annex the city. When the Republicans restored control over Namo, Jung To ordered that the Presidential Palace be rebuilt, but he hired a new architect, Yang Jin, to undertake the mission. Doug Vic, meanwhile, had been tried by the Republican regime for helping out the Choreans. He was sentenced to death for being a Najin, or a "traitor to Namor," and shot. The Republicans spent over two million ramons in restoring the Presidential Palace, and it was rebuilt just in time for the end of the Second Great War, and continued to house the Republican leadership.

When Namo was captured by the Liberationists in NMR 2290, it was renamed to the Executive House, and all connotations with the Republicans within the building were removed.
