New Genoa has opened a new survey to add to its almanacs, documenting the world's largest building. However, with 70,000 nations and millions of skyscrapers, we have been unable to locate this building.

"We deem it necessary to learn more about our neighbors here on this planet, it may not seem very important now, but it's a start for expanding our knowledge of foreign nations." -- Senator John Baskerville, President of the Senate

The tallest New Genoese building is located in New Genoa, the capital, and was named the Greyhound Gazer, mostly because of its magnificient design and appearance. It currently stands at 1,103 feet.

The largest building in Altaran is roughly 1,250ft tall, and is the Red Standard....the traditional seat of government.

We would inform you that some nation, although no longer active was recorded as having built the "mile high" skyscraper design of Frank Lloyd Wright. We have not seen that nation in a long time though.

The tallest building is in my colony of H&A is 2,880 feet. It is called the Temple of the Vampires. It was made with glass and steel.

OOC: The real world's largest building by vollume, isn't a sky scraper at all. It's the Boeing Factory in Washington State, USA. It's only about 15 stories tall, and is something like 300,000 Square Feet (I'm not sure on that though...) The world's TALLEST building is the... What are those called... I forget, but they're twin towers, and they're in Kuala Lumpur (Sp?) Malaysia. They're designed in a classic Muslem geomatrical shape.

The tallest buliding is 2 mile tall and is the Logan Tech. World Headquarter.

The now abandoned old Xanthalian government HQ on Earth stands just over 7,500 feet (2286 meters) tall. It took over a decade to build, and hosted the entire Xanthalian government and it's divisions for over a century before the capital was moved off-planet in the year 2130.

Not by square footage on the Boing building, Since the Pentagon is almost 3 million (?) square foot of floor space, but only five stories or so above and three below ground.

The Fëanor Palace complex, in Vinyatirion, Menelmacar, was recently expanded to stand 1.1 miles in height. Supported by several separate towers, only the very top part is the palace itself, the remainder being composed of mixed-use space (offices, hotels, condos, etc.) as in most skyscrapers, as well as government offices.

The Boeing plant is the world's largest enclosed space, which I presume means its mostly one really really big honking room. The Pentagon is the world's largest office building.

That's them! Thank you Xanthal!

I wasn't sure on the Boeing Square Footage... but I know the Boeing Factory is the largest building by Vollume.

The Boeing plant is the world's largest enclosed space, which I presume means its mostly one really really big honking room. The Pentagon is the world's largest office building.

~SiriI've been there personally. It's a sight to behold. They really just have three really freaking huge rooms: One for manufacturing the Boeing 747, one for the 767, and one for the 777. They give tours of the 747 assembly line. Most awesome.

Wow... If I ever go on vacation there (Most unlikely) that'll be on my ittenerary.

"Excellent... most excellent... such beautifully symbolic buildings to destroy... mwhahahahahah!!"

"Esamopia is in awe of all the buildings described... the tallest building in Esamopia is only 77 stories high, approximately 777 meters tall, and is completely mysterious! It is officially registered with the government as the HQ for a non-publically traded stock company (only private trading.) There has never been any reason to inspect the building and as the owners pay their taxes on time there is no account of what goes on inside... some suspect a cult, others believe that a shadow government is in operation there, but we truly don't know."

So, so far Brydog is in the lead with his two mile tall Logan Tech. World Headquarters building. I'm in second with my 7,500 foot-tall Xanthalian government HQ building.

When I was just a tower (non-Earth), it was several hundred miles high. That's why we don't live there anymore.

The Omzian People's Tower, stoods 2,028 feet --- just a bit higher than the Taipei 101 Tower. This tower is located at downtown Osaria, and is the tallest building in Omz222. The tower is for a combination of commercial offices, and government offices.

ALthough my country is very small and none of our great towers are quite as tall as the ones mentioned here, our first really big make-work program was the Sal-Sana Parliament measuring at 530 feet tall at it's highest point, it is a magnificent sandstone structure. I encourage people from around the world to come and see the colourful sights of Salinas, our beautiful capital city.

OOC:Stupid feet, join the 21st century US!
IC:The highest buildings in IF.

The Rleam of Reeven: 1,111 metres tall, 30 metres higher if you count the Pilograthar statue at the top. RoR is an ancient fortress to praise the dragon gaurdians, Shadark-Mire and Pilograthar

The Spiral Tower: 678metres tall, an artistic structure in Crosswaytown, to bottom of it has an art gallery and a museum.

By volume, the Portist industral termial is a supersized industrial cargo ship holder that is over 10km squared.

Oh hush. Think of the wierd systems of measurement we use as one of our endearing traits.

BrownCo Towers (actually just the one tower) in the ISAN's capital Liberation stands 700 metres tall ..not all that far from twice the Empire State, I believe, though it has only 140 stories in total.

The building is of course the home of FBCo.plc, of which ISAN president Eustace Brown is also president.

It is worth noting that the vast majority of buildings in the Incorporated States of Andaman and Nicobar are over 150 metres tall, and that building anything with less than five stories requires a prohibitively expensive licence.

Anyone puzzled by this should look first at the population of the ISAN, and then at a map of the Bay of Bengal.

I hope you all realize, that any building taller then about 1,500 feet would sway so violently in the wind, that it would be imposible to keep any fo the upper floors maintained.

Your Nickname: And I say to you thank god for the GMS. Don't know what that is? Tough. I'm sick of posting descriptions of it. Go digging, it's gotta be in at least ten threads of mine.

The Corporate Tower in the Hack comes in at about 3/4 of a mile (3,960 feet) tall. It houses most governmental officies, as well as many, many research labs.

However, it also extends close to 2 miles below ground, into the deepest parts of the Warrens.

Hmm... the tallest building in Tsaraine is under 100 meters tall; almost everything is underground.

Do space elevators count? I'm pretty sure a couple of nations have those.
