Preview of my world...

The Province of Orchales is the most impressive, and certainly the most lavish of all the provinces of Regnum.  On it’s own, Orchales can literally be a small nation apart from all the other provinces of Regnum. It is extremely easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer size and architectural beauty of the city/providence. Since Regnum sees itself as the direct descendant of the once mighty Roman Empire, it’s architecture is based off the one used by the romans, albeit highly modernised and significantly more powerful. The style of architecture is brutal and gives off a dark and oppressive feeling complete with titanic buildings made out of concrete and large beautiful gardens, parks and courtyards adorn the multiple megablocks of the area. Glistening skyscrapers rise up in a display of strength and power, while the streets are covered with marvelous decorations such as statues and banners signifying the unyielding might of the city and of Regnum. A number of museums, malls and apartments dot the city, all created following the almost imperialistic nature of the nation. Golden bright lights cover the streets and impressive restaurants serving only the most delicious food available. Monuments like arches of glory and coliseums of sports were made to not only entertain and please the citizens, but also to impose a feeling of insignificance towards the foreigners who arrive to the grandiose city/province. The poor live in villas, the workers thrive on small mansions, and the rich enjoy the pleasures of life from their outrageous and extremely extravagant palaces. Regardless of the social standing inside the city, once a citizen of Regnum becomes a citizen of Orchales, it is assumed that one has a rather impressive fortune. While there exist a number of centers for the Senators of Orchales to address the city directly, the prefered spot is  the Senatorial Palace located on the center of the incredible and astonishing city. The Senatorial Palace is the most impressive monument inside of Orchales and is built on such a scale that it creates an air of authority and majesty fitting of Emperors and not Senators or Presidents. It makes the Palace of Versailles, the Winter Palace of  former Russia and the Forbidden City in Ancient China pale in comparison. The Gardens of the Palace alone can host over a million people and the palace itself is composed of multiple connecting mansions and towers all crowned by a single magnificent dome. The palace is taller than any one of the tremendous skyscrapers of the city by a milestone and it is often joked that the palace has it’s own weather due to the sheer size of it.  It is built following the incredible architecture of their ancestors, like all the buildings of the city, but on the palace, these elements are made even more present. Vast halls with floors made out of marble, halls big enough to wander inside of them for hours, intricately decorated walls, furniture all made out of ebony or mahogany, and statues and art galleries all fit for  men of enormous wealths, these are all some of the wonders of the Senatorial Palace of Orchales. The Grand Hall was designed to put to shame the interior of the Basilica of Saint Peters on the Vatican, which is one of the few remaining countries of the old era but has become part of Regnum as a small district inside the Province of Orchales, and it can make even the mightiest of men feel weak and feeble. The Grand Hall has the statues of the former senators of the Providence running to its length, while pillars of the same marble encrusted with gold, platinum and diamonds decorate the sides of the hall. The hall itself is large enough to fill it with two full dreadnought class airships of the Air Force and has rows of thrones located on it with the throne of the First Senator located at the end of the hall and is made to the First Senator’s own measurements. Indeed, the Senatorial Palace of Orchales is even more impressive “The Citadel” itself and is one of the reasons as to why many consider the Senator of Orchales to be both the richest man of Regnum and the second most powerful. Just outside of the Senatorial Palace, five avenues called the Avenues of Regnum, stretch out like fingers on a hand. These avenues are clearly ostentatious and made to once again signify the superiority of Orchales over the other cities of the world. During special occasions, the entire populace of Orchales gather at the Avenues of Regnum and cheer on with thunderous applause and deafening roars to the Senator and the evening’s special event. While Orchales is certainly the richest province in all of Regnum it is one of the least corrupt provinces. This is clear when one wanders off to Doros and sees the poverty and misery the people live on, while the Province’s own Senator enjoys life inside a palace that is close to the Senatorial Palace in size and grandeur.
