Background: The Archeologica site of the Ancient Qolshamih is one of the most impressive archeological site not only of Istalia but of all Majatra, if not of all Terra.

Site: Domus Consularis
Location: Auroria, Marestella, Selucia
Applicable criteria for assessment: (i.), (ii.), (iv.).
Reference: https://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Domus_Consularis

Background: Built over the ancient site of the residence of the Imperator of the Selucian League, the Domus Consularis (Selucian for "Consular House") is the headquarters of the Selucian executive and as such serves as the center of power in Selucia. Most recently renovated in 4320, the Domus Consularis preserves Selucian art and architecture dating back to the Renascentia if not further back. The most distinguishing feature of the Domus is its essentially unchanging nature, in spite of numerous renovations or even wholesale reconstructions over the millennia. The current architectural plan of the Domus dates back to the 15th century, with only minor and non-essential modifications to account for modern amenities. Even after renovation architects strove to locate surprisingly well preserved construction materials and decorative elements. In order to preserve its timeless appearance there are no time-measuring devices to be found within the Domus Consularis.

Site: Empyrean Temple
Location: Empyrean Temple City
Applicable criteria for assessment: (i.), (ii.), (iii.), (iv.).
Reference: https://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Empyrean_Temple

Background: The Empyrean Temple is the official headquarters of the Arch-Patriarch of the Aurorian Patriarchal Church, over which it exercises full sovereignty as the Empyrean Temple City. The Temple was built in the 29th century to celebrate Selucia's liberation from the Terran Patriarchal crusaders and to serve as the headquarters of what was then Selucia's national Church, the Selucian Patriarchal Church. The Temple is built in a Selucian Triumphalist style in the form of a Kalopian Cross with a dome inspired by circular Selucian Pagan temples and as such it is considered a prime example of Selucian Triumphalism, an architectural style characterized by grandiose and powerful aesthetic and typical of Selucian buildings of the Selucian Imperium era, aiming to present the triumph of both the nation and the Church over its enemies. As one of the holiest sites in Aurorian Hosianism the Temple is a famous site of pilgrimage and can accommodate tens of thousands of visitors.

Site: Republic of Fortland
Location: Odufart Sea, off the coast of Noumonde
Applicable criteria for assessment: (i.), (ii.), (iii.), (iv.).
Reference: Fortland News

Background: "Fortland", originally known as the "Barreau Tower" after the name of its architect, was constructed as an anti-aircraft gun platform by Rildanor during the 2570s, in order to protect shipping lanes between Noumonde, its newly-acquired colony, and south Seleya.

Governments have long since abandoned the installation. Technically, it was built illegally as it falls outside of Noumonde's territorial waters, and under international law is considered "terra nullius" or "nobody's land".

More recently, Fortland has been commandeered by Geoffrey Briggs, a retired major in the Luthori army and a noted eccentric. Briggs has set himself up there along with his wife, Shirley. His son, Henry, and daughter, Elizabeth, occasionally stay him with as well.

On 14th April 4459, Briggs released a "Declaration of Statehood", declaring the structure to be its own country, to be known as the "Republic of Fortland", of which he is President. The Declaration calls on other nations to formally recognise Fortland and establish diplomatic relations, and also calls on the World Congress to admit Fortland as a member.

As well as being Terra's newest nation and a country with great aspirations for the future which personifies the ideals of liberty, justice and equality, Fortland is also a splendid work of art from a purely architectural point of view, as well as a unique historical artifact, being one of only four installations of its type and of its era anywhere in Terra. Artists regularly come to draw it, photographers to photograph it and historians to study it. In addition to this, Fortland hosts small permanent and temporary art exhibitions, making it a much-loved destination for art luvvies.

Site: Palace of Villareale
Location: Villareale, Sarregna, Istalia
Applicable criteria for assessment: (i.), (iv.)
Reference: https://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Palace_of_Villareale

Background: The Palace of Villareale is a former royal residence built for the Selucio-Nicoman kings of the Kingdom of Istalia. It is one of the largest palaces erected in Majatra during the 18th century and is the largest royal residence in the world in volume with over 2 million m³ and covering an area of about 235,000 m². The Palace was commissioned by the second King of Istalia Arturo Gabriele I who also baptized a town near Eristano, Villareale, to become the administrative capital for the Kingdom which fulcrum was the Palace itself. The Istalian court remained in the Palace until 1959 when the island of Alaria was conquered by the Emirate of Quanzar, which already controlled the Sarrentina Peninsula. Under the Quanzarian Emirate it was ansformed it into an army barrack but when finally was established the first Istalian Republic, the new state decided to destinate the Palace as Museum of the Istalian Kingdom. Considered a masterpiece of the baroque architecture, however heavily influenced by the Neoselucian style, it is one of the most visited Istalian sites.

Site: Altar of the Republic
Location: Sadarium, Occidentria, Selucia
Applicable criteria for assessment: (ii.), (iii.), (iv.).
Reference: https://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Altar_of_the_Republic

Background: Built in 2992, the Altar of the Republic (Ara Rei Publicae) in Sadarium, Occidentria is, together with the Triumphal Arch in Saturnium in Cor Patriae one of the monumental structures built by the Triariist Pagan-Nationalist regime that ruled Selucia between 2989 and 3000 and marked the last significant attempt of the Pagan population of Selucia to regain their lost political leadership role. The Altar of the Republic is built in an eclectic style with heavy influence from Selucian Triumphalism. The Altar features stairways, columns, fountains, and two statues of the goddess of victory riding on quadrigas, and inside it houses a museum dedicated to Pagan history. The monument has symbolic importance for both Selucian Pagans and Republicans, but it is not without criticism, being seen as conspicuous and overly pompous, a criticism that is often leveled at other monuments influenced by Selucian Triumphalism.

Site: Mor Yaqub Cathedral
Location: Har Jafe, Kinaan, Cildania
Applicable criteria for assessment: (i.), (ii.), (iv.).
Reference: https://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Mor_Yaqub_Cathedral

Background: The Mor Yaqub Cathedral, built during the Middle Ages, was one of the most important heritage sites in Cildania. In 3870 the ultra-secular and Selucian-minority government ruling Cildania at the time, wishing to put an end to religious practice in the nation, confiscated and demolished the medieval cathedral, an action that was widely regarded as a crime against humanity and that became one of the central causes behind the brutal Cildanian Civil War. After the defeat of the Selucian apartheid regime but before the end of the civil war a new cathedral was built on the same location in 3878. Built in an Art Moderne and New Classical style, the new Mor Yaqub Cathedral is characterized by its light, airy interior (reminiscent of an open-air Qedarite temple yard) and its traditional Augustan-style iconography. The new Cathedral has been controversial since its construction, as it ignored the architecture of the medieval Cathedral in favor of an ultra-modern style.

Site: Calliari Spiritual Temple
Location: Calliari, Sarregna, Istalia
Applicable criteria for assessment: (i.), (ii.), (iii.), (iv.).
Reference: https://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Calliari_Ruhi_Temple

Background: The first temple of the Ruhi Faith, the Spiritual Temple in Calliari was erected in 4295 by Vito Sarti, an Istalian industrialist and one of the first converts to the Faith. Construction was initiated a few weeks after the martyrdom of the religion's founder. The Spiritual Temple is a domed structure surrounded by gardens and fountains, and it is clad in a concrete mixture of cement and quartz, into which many intricate details are carved. Symbols belonging to a number of religions are carved on each exterior pillar, to symbolize the Ruhi belief in the unity of all religions and the fact that the Temple is open to people of any religion.

Site: Shrine of the Messiah
Location: Varishehr, Murdhe, Barmenistan
Applicable criteria for assessment: (i.), (ii.), (iii.), (iv.).
Reference: https://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Shrine_of_the_Messiah

Background: The most sacred site in the Ruhi Faith and the qibla of the religion is the Shrine of the Messiah. Serving as a mausoleum for the religion's founder and the site of the mandatory pilgrimage all Ruhis are obliged to undertake, the Shrine was completed in 4358 and its construction was initiated by the religion's first Caliph. The Shrine is a domed structure in traditional Barmenian style, with heavy inspiration from local Ahmadi mosques. The Shrine is surrounded by gardens, a school, a pilgrim's hostel, a small hospital, and a building for groundskeepers.



EDIT: I created wiki pages for these 4 monuments, now referenced

Site: Beonyeongsalm Palace
Location: Gongmangdo, Dankuk
Applicable criteria for assessment: (ii.), (iii.), (iv.)
Reference: https://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Beonyeongsalm_Palace

Background: Originally constructed in approximately 1150 CE, Beonyeongsalm Palace was at the center of post-nomadic Kyo civilization, housing the monarchs of the founding Baekgu Dynasty. Much later it would become home to the revived Kyo monarchy under the House of Ryeo, serving initially as a rallying point for renewed Kyo identity in Dranland and later as the official royal palace under the Kingdom of Dankuk. In its long history the palace has been twice destroyed and it has seen new additions over time as well. The current palace complex, still sitting upon the original grounds that feature some preserved ruins, was constructed in the late 44th Century, replicating the traditional Kyo design of the ancient palace. Adjacent to the traditional complex are modern constructions with neoclassical architectural design accompanied by gardens and a fountain, a reflection of Western influences on Dranian history and culture.

Site: The Norfiords
Location: Magadonia Province, Dankuk
Applicable criteria for assessment: (v.), (vi.), (vii.)
Reference: https://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/The_Norfiords

Background: The Norfiords are a region of unique geography and preserved natural beauty in northern Dankuk. Boasting a number of large fjords, lakes, sheltered bays, waterfalls, and scattered archipelagos, the Norfiords were originally formed from receding ancient glaciers. In ancient times this region, sparsely populated due to the often harsh weather of the north, was home to a number of hardy fishing villages populated by Kyo or Draddwyr. Even in modern times, much of the natural landscape of the Norfiords has been preserved and the area is a popular sightseeing destination. The Norfiords thrive ecologically, featuring waters rich with life, large seabird populations, and a deep-water coral reef. More inland there are dense forests filled with wildlife and a number of natural hot springs.

Site: Royal Tombs of Baekgu
Location: Soleunggo, Elbian Province, Dankuk
Applicable criteria for assessment: (ii.), (iii.), (iv.)
Reference: https://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Royal_Tombs_of_Baekgu

Background: The Royal Tombs of Baekgu are a number of tombs containing members of the Baekgu Dynasty (600-1721). The tombs are mostly concentrated to a rural area between Gongmangdo and Soleunggo. They were built to honor and respect the ancestors and their achievements, and assert their royal authority. The tombs are constructed around central mounds that contain the buried king or queen, featuring short stone walls, deity statues, and ritualistic stonework. From ancient Sindo practices, the features of the tomb are connected by a stone path that comes from the red-pillared entrance gate. The largest tomb houses Baekgu the Great, the founder of the ancient unified Kyo state.
