Capital of the United Royal Provinces, the URP Royal Domain exists as a self-governing entity under the direct rule of the King (although the day-to-day business is left to civil servants). It is located at the border of the Canadian and Great-Lake provinces on a small territory (dubbed "The Royal Domain") that was separated from both. Many URP organisations have, over the years, moved their offices to the Domain to benefit from both the prestige and the tax-exemption they receive. This growth in population (now close to half a milion) has lead to some demand for a estate-general of their own.
