===Building
Pavia is well-known for maintaining a unified build style across the entire nation. Buildings within Pavia can generally be described as being late medieval through to the early 1700s central European. More specifically, Pavian builds are best known for being primarily composed of a stone ground floor, white walls for additional floors, with a brick or deepslate roof on top. It is common however for these colours to be mixed in other ways throughout the city. Major civic buildings within the Empire such as the townhall and rail station consist of a generally 'later era' style than the standard residential and commercial buildings throughout the cities. These buildings are commonly made using stone walls with deepslate roofs.
The Bureau of Architecture maintain strict control over who has permission to build within the capital, the City of Pavia. To gain access to becoming a licensed builder in the city and crownlands - the builder must first demonstrate an ability to maintain the build style, or contribute to it in a constructive way. For more ad hoc builds in the Crownlands, it may be sufficient for the builder to just design their building and show their designs to the Bureau for permission to continue with construction in-game. The Empire of Pavia provides a creative server for this purpose.
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 building is composed of multiple key areas.
* '''The Main Chamber -''' Dominating the centre of the Townhall's structure is a huge domed chamber which represents the heart of the nation itself. It is from this room that all key aspects of government and state are linked. Guests to the nation will walk through the chamber when walking from the station to city, and the chamber is home to sign walls that have existed since the second day of the server holding messages from hundreds of guests to the city.
* [[File:The Emperor's Throneroom.png|thumb|388x388px|The Emperor's throne room in the townhall of Pavia]]'''The Grand Exchange -''' This room is accessible to citizen's only. It provides Pavian citizens access to cheap build materials subsidised by the Government of Pavia which can be purchased using the internal currency, Pavian Crowns. In addition, it provides all the functions of a factory building that is typical in other nations, with government maintained factories that can be freely used by citizens. It can be accessed from an exterior door located on the southern side of the building.
* '''The Throne Room''' - The throne room is the seat of the Emperor. This represents the centre of the Pavian State and contains a large number of seating that can be utilised when the Emperor invites an audience. It is most well known for it's ornate golden roof.
* '''Archduke's Office''' - This office is housed in the western tower of the Townhall and has commanding views over Main Street, the centre of the Pavian economy. This room is primarily used for the writing and signing of decrees and running of state. Across from the Archduke's office is the balcony which can be seen in the main chamber, where the archduke may elect to speak to the people of Pavia.
* '''Archduke's Residence -''' The Townhall is also home to a large residential suite which can be used by the incumbent Archduke of Pavia. Located on the second floor of the Townhall, the residence is in close proximity to the Archduke's office.
* '''The Newfriend Expo''' - The Newfriend Expo is a detailed interactive walkthrough of the key plugins used by CivMC. This allows new players access to a hands-on introduction to the server that cannot be acquired via. the usual newfriend book that is provided when first joining. It can be accessed directly from the Main Chamber, using the northern door.
* '''The Cartography Office -''' The Cartography Office is primarily used by services ran by the Pavian Government, including the Bureau of Architecture and Bureau of Semiography It is primarily composed of offices centred around two large chambers - one hosting a globe with a sunlight providing light to the office, and a second hosting a large number of flags and books. These offices are mainly accesssed via the southwest staircase from the main chamber.
* '''The Model Room''' - Located in the top floors of the northern half of the structure above the roof of the throne room - this building holds a miniature scale model of the City of Pavia.
* '''The Council Chambers -''' The council chambers hosts the Imperial Council when summoned by the Archduke.

'''The International Rail Station'''
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.
The rail station is connected to a set of massive viaducts, the most prominent of which are the Western and Northern viaducts which carry the rails over the Empire.
The station currently hosts the following connections
* '''Platform 1 - Direct rail connection to the [[Icenia (CivMC)|Republic of Icenia]]''' - This rail goes over the Western Viaduct, a rail viaduct that cuts through the City of Pavia before moving underground after passing through the cities port.
* '''Platform 2 - Direct rail to [[Estalia|Estalia (0, 0)]] -''' This rail provides a direct connection to Estalia's 0,0 market. However, an additional /dest connection is available to the [[Volterra|Crowned Republic of Volterra]] - both states in the [[Elysian Pact]]
* '''Platform 3 W - [[One Day War|OneDest]] connection -''' The western track of platform 3 is a single-tracked connection to the [[OneDest]] network, and can be used to access a multitude of nations around the map.
* [[File:Pavia's International Railway Station.png|thumb|393x393px|The International Railway station as viewed from the Townhall Gardens. This building houses all the major connections from the City of Pavia to nations around the map. ]]'''Platform 3 E - Bedford Commons connection''' - The eastern track of platform 3 is a single-tracked direct connection to the Bedford Commons, a major population centre in the Empire of Pavia.
* '''Platform 4 - Direct rail to [[SPQR]] -''' This rail provides a direction connection to Elysian Pact ally SPQR, it also goes through the nation of [[Griffin]] which lays in between Pavia and SPQR. This rail goes over the Northern Viaduct, a over thousand block long viaduct that cuts through the entire Empire and continues into nation of [[Griffin]]. /dest SPQR can be used to continue straight through to SPQR without stopping at Griffin.
* '''Platform 5''' - This is a currently unused line reserved to support additional future underground connections to the north of the nation.
* '''Platform 6 -''' This is a currently unused line reserved to support additional future connections to the east of the nation. This rail is connected to the lower portion of the Northern Viaduct, however the Eastern Viaduct which is a branch of the Northern Viaduct has not yet been built.
* '''Platform 7''' - Direct rail connection to [[Baile]]
'''The Cathedral of Pavia'''
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 Archduke's pearl if the Duke's of Pavia choose to assassinate the Archduke.
This building and the hill that it stands on was built within 11 hours by a number of citizens of Pavia.
