The Great Hall of the People, generally referred to as the People's Hall, is the meeting place of the Great Assembly and is located in Ward 4, Fujing. It is often incorrectly referred to as the Great Assembly in common nomenclature. The palace is one of the centres of political life in the Akarean Union alongside the People's Exhibition which is also located in Ward 4; both buildings were constructed following the Labourers' Revolution as part of the People's Definition of the New Akarean State which stipulates the necessity for two government sites and none more: a closed hall for administration and an open hall for communication. Aside from its role as a government building, the People's Hall is also noteworthy for its controversial brutalist architecture and large green spaces which are opened to the public while the Assembly is not in session.
