| 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. | |
