Palace of Nations
The Palace of Nations (French: Palais des Nations) is the residence and workplace of the President of the United Nations of Earth, as well as home to the headquarters of several UN executive agencies and a diplomatic forum. Located in Geneva, Switzerland, on Earth, the Palace was originally constructed for the United Nations' predecessor organisation: the League of Nations, from 1929-38 CE. It has been under UN jurisdiction since 1946 CE, and prior to the New York Conference in 2131 CE, acted as the United Nations Office in Geneva. After the reorganisation of the UN into the UNE in 2131 CE, the Palace of Nations became home to the President and several executive agencies. After the discovery of nonhuman civilisations in the early 23rd century CE, it has also played host to xeno delegates meeting the President for diplomatic conferences.
Although the Palace of Nations was only supposed to house the President until an expanded complex could be built elsewhere on Earth, the complex was so popular with successive administrations that the project never went ahead. The Palace of Nations includes offices and accomodation for the President and their staff, meeting rooms, office complexes for executive agencies, and meeting halls for foreign dignitaries. The complex was expanded in 2169 CE, and currently hosts over 15,000 staff. While not typically accessible to the public, exceptions are made for guided tours of the Palace, and the complex has an accessible museum with the history of the League of Nations and UN. The complex is guarded by a number of officers from the United Nations Federal Police, though the exact details are kept classified for security purposes. The Palace of Nations is above an underground railway system (constructed as part of the expansion in 2169 CE) that connects to the nearby Geneva Spaceport.
