The Knesset Building is the headquarters of the government of Israel, and the largest dedicated parliament building on the server.
History
Originally started by AD31 in June 2020, the building was initially intended only as a town hall for Sinai, with just the lower portion of the front wall being completed before the Persian delegation lost interest and abandoned the project. Work was taken over early on by Caspaeres, who overhauled the original designs to incorporate more Byzantine and Neoclassical elements, whilst keeping the existing portico intact, and dramatically increased the scale, size, and cost of the project . After being put on hold, construction was resumed in earnest for a period of two months, with the building being completed by the end of 2020.
Features
The Knesset Building contains a large atrium standing beneath the dome, with most interior rooms situated around it. The lower floors contain an elaborate lobby and offices for every government member. The upper floors, around and directly beneath the Knesset chamber, contain a cabinet meeting room, citizen meeting room, the Melech's office, a reference library, a museum, and a restaurant named "The Dessert Eagle" for government members. The Knesset chamber, located at the top of the atrium flanking the dome, consists of two concentric circles built one atop the other containing seats for every part of government. The building is lavishly decorated with expensive materials such as quartz, and as such remains one of the most expensive buildings in Sinai.
