       Name: National Palace (Burg Hohnstein)
       Location: 15 miles south of capital Felsenberg
       Description: Multiuse.  The National Palace is the official
       residence of the head of state, but it also widely accessible to
       the public.  The palace houses Frijstaat's largest art
       collection, a museum of Frijstaater history, and the National
       Theatre, where plays and music are performed on a rotating
       monthly basis.  Shortly before the creation of the Frijstaater
       state, Burg Hohnstein was the private residence of a wealthy
       land owner and early Frijstaat settler (Koenraad van der Bijl),
       but was willed to the new nation upon the land owner's death (12
       years after the creation of Frijstaat), as he had no heirs.
       Entrance to the museums and theater performances is free to the
       public, due to van der Bijl's generous endowment established in
       his will, which continues to pay for the operating costs
       associated therewith.

       Name: Diddyland Planetarium
       Location: Ditmar City, Diddyland
       The beautifully designed planetarium, which is placed inside a
       park of Diddyland's capital, right next to a wonderful lake is
       one of the city's architectural highlights. Away from the city
       center, where skyscrapers occupy most of the place, this is a
       popular place for the citizens to relax, jog, and get rid of
       their stress.

       OOC: This was really difficult for me, I didn't want to do a
       "Palace" because a lot of people are but oh well, and my vote is
       Frijstaat as it stands.
       His Excellency's Residency
       Located just outside of Patience, Turkducken
       Formally the Mad King's Summer Housing, now converted into the
       President's current home. The two story house, with side
       attachments of a stable and guest quarters (although formally
       where the servants lived), the current room layout consists of a
       War Room, Office, Master Bedroom, two bathrooms, Kitchen,
       storage (in the basement), with some other more classified
       attachments. The Home is self sufficient, powered and provided
       by renewable and self sufficient resources. As this is a central
       belief to Turks.

       OOC: Haha yeah I don't watch it much (I'm 16 so parents restrict
       that) but I do like the storyline. Brutal but realistic.
