The Parliament Building in Drosst is the seat of the Parliament. It is known for it's elegance and gothic design, much out of place with the more modern buildings within Cartria. The interior is lavishly decorated with many rooms designed to reflect the grandeur and power of the Monarchy which the State proudly supports.
The building covers 77,000 square meters of ground, making it the single largest building in Cartria. The building boasts over 1,100 rooms, 100 staircases and roughly 3 miles of passageways, which are spread over four floors. The ground floor is occupied by offices, dining rooms and bars; the first floor (known as the principal floor) houses the main rooms of the Palace, including the debating chambers, the lobbies and the libraries. The top-two floors are used as committee rooms and offices. There is also rooftop access that is restricted to staff only and is used predominately for maintenance and building access.
At the north end of the Palace rises the most famous of the towers, Darpar Tower. It houses the Great Clock of Buckingham, striking the hour to within a second of the time, the Great Clock achieved standards of accuracy considered impossible by clockmakers at the time of its construction, over 120 years ago. It has remained consistently reliable since it entered service and the time is shown on four faces each on one side of the tower.
