The Imperial Castarcian Palace, referred to as simply the Imperial Palace when within the borders of the Allied Castarcian States, is the official residence and workplace of the incumbent Emperor and/or Empress, situated on the outskirts of Pearsonville. It is considered part of the Pearsonville Metropolitan Area and additionally acts as the centre for both the Imperial Council and the Castarcian High Command. Its current official main residents are Emperor Connor I and Empress Alice I.
The Palace was constructed in the Rococo style between 1930 and 1936 on the orders of Emperor Jeremy I, who declared that "primarily the palace should be a practical home and then a functional heart for governmental affairs". Inside, the palace, which has four floors, lacks the grandeur and extravagance of typical foreign palaces. The Palace is also used often for matters of state and diplomatic purposes, and is protected by the Imperial Vanguard. The Imperial Palace underwent a renovation in 2010, after it sustained damage in the Great Castarcian War.
