Government District

The Governmental District of Olympia stands as a testament to the city's democratic heritage and its reverence for order and wisdom. At its center lies the Forum, the grand council chamber where the city's most esteemed leaders gather to debate and decide on matters of state. Its majestic columns and steps are carved from the finest marble, reflecting the sunlight in a display of splendor. Surrounding the Forum are various administrative buildings, each dedicated to different facets of governance. The Strategion houses the military strategists and planners, while the Archives preserve the written records of laws and decrees. A single embassy of Athena's strong ally, The Empire of Rodinia, is found here. The Senate are currently in discussions with far-off civilizations from Khemit, The Empire of Honshu and the Lucarcian Continent, about establishing embassies for those countries. Open-air forums are scattered throughout the district, facilitating public discourse and civic engagement. Here, citizens gather to listen to orators and participate in the democratic process, their voices echoing off the stoa-covered walkways. Even in this hub of politics and administration, the arts flourish. Statues of legendary lawmakers and heroes line the pathways, and intricate mosaics depict scenes of historical significance, reminding all of Olympia's storied past and the principles that guide its future. The Prytaneion serves as the headquarters for the city's security, where the guardians of peace strategize to keep Olympia safe. The district is patrolled by vigilant, yet respectful, hoplites who ensure that order is maintained. The city's army and navy headquarters and barracks are also housed in this district. In the Governmental District, the weight of history and the promise of progress are palpable, as it embodies the collective aspirations and responsibilities of Olympia's citizenry.
