The Cascadian Capitol, atop Capitol Hill in the northern part of Jaketon, Alaska, is the seat of the Cascadian Congress, the legislative branch of the federal government, completed in the year 2011.
Interior
The Capitol's building is marked by its central dome above a rotunda in the central section of the structure containing the chambers of the Congress: the north wing is the Senate chamber and the south wing is the House of Representatives chamber. Above these newer chambers are galleries where visitors can watch the Senate and House of Representatives. It is an example of the neoclassical architecture style.
Senate Chamber
The Senate Chamber opened in 2011 and is adorned with white marble busts of the former Presidents of the Senate (Vice Presidents).
Exterior
Grounds
The Capitol Grounds cover approximately 274 acres (1.11 km²), with the grounds proper consisting mostly of lawns, walkways, streets, drives, and planting areas. Formerly, a number of monumental sculptures were located on the east facade and lawn of the Capitol.
Security
On August 29, 2035, what is believed to be the first attempt to kill a sitting President of Cascadia occurred just outside the Cascadian Capitol. When President Martin Jackson was leaving the Capitol out of the East Portico after the funeral of an Alaskan Representative, Michael Lawrence, an now unemployed former police officer for the Jaketon Metro, either burst from a crowd or stepped out from hiding behind a column and aimed a pistol at Jackson which misfired. Lawrence then pulled out a second pistol which also misfired. Secret Service quickly arrested the man, and found he still had his badge from Jaketon Metro PD to be able to carry in a weapon. The press attempted to make light of the attack because of it's likeness to the attempted assassination of US President Andrew Jackson 200 years earlier.
