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 similar 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. [[Arathorn52]] proposed a design similar to the Terra Nova Cascadia capitol building, with taller walls and a larger central rotunda. The contest had 23 total votes, with 22 voting for Setrus' design, and as such construction started on April 15 after minor design changes. | ||

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.
