While most ministers spend much of their time in their own separate ministerial
buildings within the capital city, they all have their own offices along the great
ministerial hallway within the eastern wing of the Royal Hapan Palace.
In the end of the great ministerial hallway, with its exquisitely decorated archways
and painted roof depicting scenes from the antiquity years, lie the heavy ornamented
oak doors into the Office of the Prime Minister. Phoenix guards are positioned
outside the doors dressed in Hapan Ceremonial Armour.
Behind the doors is the large lobby with an impressive white marble
staircase behind the reception and its friendly Hapan secretary. The first floor
holds several offices for the closest staff of the Prime Minister, providing him with
the latest statistics and other facts to base executive decisions on. On both sides
of the staircase are two marble fountains. In the center of each fountain is a
phoenix sculptured from solid Hapan gold, with its wings extended it pours water out
of its beak. One part of the room has a number of armchairs. Intended to be a waiting
lounge for those who are waiting to see the Prime Minister or his advisory staff, it
has its own bar. Busts of previous Prime Ministers stand at the sides of the room as
a reminder of their devotion to the Consortium.
The staircase leads up to a larger terrace with three heavy oak doors. The left
door leads to the Royal Council's meeting room. The meeting room, like all the other
rooms on this floor, has a painted dome roof. In the center of the room is a large
wooden table carved out of 24 different kind of trees that grow in the cluster. The
chairs surrounding the table are also wooden but they are carved from the very
special Kiduin teak tree. The walls in the room are covered by huge paintings of
previous Kings and Queen mothers in different scenarios symbolizing their contribution
to the Consortium.
The middle door on the terrace opens into the Prime Minister's office. It also has a
painted dome roof and wall paintings. Directly opposite the entrance is a very
large fireplace and in front of it a lounge suite with leather sofas and a coffee
table for more informal meetings. On the right side of the fireplace is a set of
bookshelves containing ancient Hapan texts. Together with the bookshelves is a bar, filled
with the finest Hapan liquors to entertain visitors. Other then the entrance door,
there are two smaller doors on each side of the room as well, the left side one door
leading into the Royal Council room and the right side one leading directly into the
Prime Ministers sleepover flat for all those long nights of work.
