    I think Chancellery would work well too!

    Some great suggestions, guys! Keep 'em coming!

    Thus far, I would have to say that The Estates-General is probably my personal favorite, with the Chancellery and Parliament rounding out my top three choices. About the only idea I can think of myself would be The Docks (or possibly The Dockyard), but I like these three better.

    To enrage those disappointed with the focus on the American experiment in the game...

    The Congress?

    ...Or Parliament sounds good too.
    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

    Well, if it needs to be in line with the names on the other sub-forums, then it should be an imposant building where decision-makers met. Though I love the nautical stuff, I think it would be lopsided...

    So I concur on "the parliament", or if it needs to be a broader european scope perhaps The Council Chambers or Chancellory.

    Excellent notions. I'm partial to the latter.
