	The building was infamous for its heavy quartz usage, requiring a nationwide quartz drive and favored deals with Cascadian suppliers. Construction was done primarily by Setrus who then employed HibachiBeamz later on to construct the interior. On April 18, two days into the Presidency of [[AghastBlock]], the capitol was finished and considered usable with its first major use not coming until the presidential inauguration of Setrus and subsequent firework shows on May 21. It is worthy to note that a multi-hour long argument occurred between Setrus and Moxie over the decision of replacing the spruce hedges around the capitol with azalea leaves, Moxie was pro-azalea and Setrus was pro-spruce.

	The Capitol rotunda is the central and main room in the capitol where, in an unorthodox fashion, the Cascadian legislature holds sessions within for the purposes of aura maxxing. On the rotunda floor there are 22 seats for representatives facing a dais with seats for the speaker, clerk, dean, and a reserved seat for any non-voting member such as the [[President of Cascadia\|President]] or sponsors. Above, the rotunda is capped by an all-quartz dome based on the real life United States Capitol dome. The base of the dome features Cascadian town banners ordered by historical age of the town, starting with [[Seattle (Aurora)\|Seattle]] and moving clockwise from oldest to youngest; this is a tradition held since the construction of the capitol, first appearing on the northern walls of what was a square room below the dome.

The fourth floor of the capitol features a railing where the public may look down on legislative sessions. The top of the dome ironically features a rendition of the logo of [[QT]], a joked Cascadian deep state made by pasting the common suffix "QT" of notable Cascadians [[EstiQT]] and formally SayerQT, onto the logo of the real life secular fraternal organization, Freemasonry.

			=== Early 2026 Redesign, Controversy, and Attempted Assassination ===
			On February 3rd, 2026, Setrus drafted a complete redesign for the capitol interior and later the same day construction started. With the support of [[Flippizzacake]], the backing of Olympia Mayor [[sayerleft]], and 500 gold from the [[Cascadia Department of Interior\|Department of the Interior]], the capitol interior was gutted and rebuilt within 24 hours with construction officially finishing on the night of February 4th. Hours before the culmination of construction, Olympia City Executive [[Xeocas]] showed up on site standing just outside the entrance, staring at the visitors and Setrus. Xeocas quickly became enraged about the redesign of the capitol interior happening without his permission. Conflicting the belief that the Architect of the Capitol and national government had authority over him on capitol grounds, it is recorded that Xeocas said, "If you actually read it [the National Capital City of Olympia Act], you'd see that Olympia has elected to form a more complex form of government and therefore must go through the government processes we have set-out via ordinances. It's Oh so clear." In which Setrus responded, "well ur wrong buckeroo, now let me continue." Soon after Xeocas, as [[Thurston County]], launched a lawsuit against Setrus as well as Flippizzacake, and [[ka_tie]] alleging their involvement, although later charges were dropped for the two.

			During the morning of February 5th, 2026, fourteen shots rang out from the [[Alliance Steakhouse]] on the fourth floor of the capitol. House Speaker [[Mjap04]] was found in critical condition in his booth but the perpetrator was nowhere to be seen. News quickly spread about the violent event with the Associated Counties of Vermont officially putting out a statement alleging that the shooting could be linked to an underground Israeli-[[Havaiki]] cabal led by [[FieryMatter]] and Xeocas, however as of writing this is considered a conspiracy and there is no official suspect or anyone in custody.

	Since its construction, the capitol has been rooted in Cascadian culture, its presence existing in meme and political posters and videos across the years. It has also been the target of several threats by Cascadian adversaries such as the [[Rocky Mountain Federation]], [[Texas]], and [[Aurora:California\|California]]. The town of [[Bakhmut]] was made largely with the goal of eventually overclaiming Olympia and the capitol, however failed to do so before the removal of overclaim. During the height of the [[Great American War]], Texan officials stormed the capitol building and considered it under their control, however were soon trapped within after the entrance was sealed.

	The original building was designed by [[Setrus]] on March 21, 2023 and completed in-game on April 18, 2023 by himself and [[HibachiBeamz]]. In early 2025 during the height of [[Project Olympia]], [[Moxie\|Moxicodone]], the project head, commissioned Setrus to design a plaza expansion to the south of the original building to be used for proper public gatherings and events.

	Two wings, or halls, connected in the center by a rotunda make up a bulk of the capitol complex. In the wings are the offices for the House of Representatives and Architect of the Capitol. The rotunda acts as the House Chamber, with seats for all members of the legislature facing a dais holding seats for the [[Speaker of the Cascadia House of Representatives\|Speaker]], [[Clerk of the Cascadia House of Representatives\|House Clerk]], and [[Dean of the Cascadia House of Representatives\|Dean]].

	On March 10, 2023 a build contest opened for the capitol, applicants had to design a building that fit within a four by four chunk zone on the coast of Olympia. Two applicants submitted designs, Setrus proposed a design based on the real life United States Capitol and Washington State Capitol, notably it was intended to be built outside the intended zone instead being built in place of the uncompleted national museum where the building sits today. Cheeseballfluffy proposed a plan to rebuild a tweaked version of the Nova Cascadian capitol design.

	The building was infamous for its heavy quartz usage, requiring a nationwide quartz drive and favored deals with Cascadian suppliers. Construction was done primarily by Setrus who then employed HibachiBeamz later on to ~~help with~~ the interior. On April 18, two days into the Presidency of [[AghastBlock]], the capitol was ~~constructed~~ and considered usable~~.

Construction was done primarily by Setrus who then employed HibachiBeamz later on to construct the interior. On April 18, two days into the Presidency of [[AghastBlock]], the capitol was finished and considered usable with its first major use not coming until the presidential inauguration of Setrus and subsequent firework shows on May 21. It is worthy to note that a multi-hour long argument occurred between Setrus and Moxie over the decision of replacing the hedges around the capitol with azalea leaves, Moxie was for and Setrus was against.
