Pavia: Difference between revisions

Outside of the capital in the duchies, the Dukes of Pavia are still responsible for building within the build style, but the Bureau takes a step back and provides the Duchies with greater power to decide who can and cannot build within their territory. As a result, Duchies may elect to allow anyone to build within their land. This can be seen in the Bedford Commons, where new players may build their own home freely and are simply requested to maintain the style as best they can. While currently not clearly defined in law, the precedent that has been established is that the Bureau will not get involved with a building in Duchy territory so long as it remains 'sufficiently' close to the desired build style. The Bureau may request a Duke to take action in cases where a building is in blatant violation of the build style.

The townhall in the City of Pavia is likely the most famous structure within the Empire itself. This monumental building was built within the first 18 days of the server, with ground being broken on the structure within 24 hours of the server's launch. This entire structure containing hundreds of thousands of blocks dominated the focus of the Pavian government and citizenry during the early days of the server, with every citizen being involved in the build. During the construction, citizens lived within a cave located just to the west of the City under what is now the Museum of Pavia. The building represents both the centre of the nation's capital and the centre of Pavian life as a whole, with all important government agencies and programs operating within the structure - it is the building that most citizens will visit multiple times per session.

* '''The Council Chambers -''' The council chambers hosts the Imperial Council when summoned by the Prime Minister.

The international rail station of Pavia is the gateway to the nation for visitors and tourists around the world. It is the second half of the Townhall complex and is connected to the townhall by the Townhall Gardens. This station is generally larger than stations typically found around the map because the Pavian Government has elected to primarily focus on direct connections to nations rather than to embrace connections to RailSwitch /dest networks. The advantage of this system as viewed by the government is an easier to understand rail system and greater reliability of the lines as there is no additional connections or junctions added to existing rails. However, Pavia still maintains a connection to the OneDest rail network for the convenience of citizens in nations that maintain exclusively a OneDest connection.

* '''Platform H''' - Direct rail to the [[Imperial Federation (CivMC)]] '''Platform I''' - Direct rail to [[Mount Augusta (CivMC)]]

* '''Platform J''' - Open

The Cathedral of Pavia hosts the spiritual heart of Pavia, while not currently subscribing to any particular religion - the building is primarily used to host weddings of players around the server. In addition, it hosts the box that is used to hold the Prime Minister's pearl if the Dukes of Pavia choose to assassinate the Prime Minister.
