The Palace of the People (Amathian: Ⱂⰰⰾⰰⱅⱆⰾ Ⱂⱁⱂⱁⱃⱆⰾⱆⰹ, tr. Palatul Poporului) is the seat of the Senate of Amathia. The megalomaniac project of the Amathian dictator Valentin Apostol, located in the Amathian capital of Arciluco, is holds three records, being the largest and the most expensive administrative building in the world, while also being the world's heaviest building. It is also notorious for its opulence and high maintenance costs, often being metaphorically considered "a second city" in the middle of the capital.
The gigantic construction houses the two chambers of the Senate of Amathia, the Chamber of the Nation and the Chamber of the People.
