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 building was infamous for its heavy quartz usage, requiring a nationwide quartz drive and favored deals with Cascadian suppliers.

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 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.

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. | ||
