A World Heratige Site is a site which shows cultural or natural importance to the world. The sites show the many wonders of the world, Ancient or Modern, Man-Made or Natural. To list a World Heratige Site in your nation, you must show the type of Cultural or Natural site; the list is below:


Cultural
I. "to represent a masterpiece of human creative genius";
II. "to exhibit an important interchange of human values, over a span of time or within a cultural area of the world, on developments in architecture or technology, monumental arts, town-planning or landscape design";
III. "to bear a unique or at least exceptional testimony to a cultural tradition or to a civilization which is living or which has disappeared";
IV. "to be an outstanding example of a type of building, architectural or technological ensemble or landscape which illustrates (a) significant stage(s) in human history";
V. "to be an outstanding example of a traditional human settlement, land-use, or sea-use which is representative of a culture (or cultures), or human interaction with the environment especially when it has become vulnerable under the impact of irreversible change";
VI. "to be directly or tangibly associated with events or living traditions, with ideas, or with beliefs, with artistic and literary works of outstanding universal significance. (The Committee considers that this criterion should preferably be used in conjunction with other criteria)";

Natural
VII. "to contain superlative natural phenomena or areas of exceptional natural beauty and aesthetic importance";
VIII. "to be outstanding examples representing major stages of earth's history, including the record of life, significant on-going geological processes in the development of landforms, or significant geomorphic or physiographic features";

WORLD HERATIGE SITE: Istana Rajah Terpilih

Reason Chosen for Nomination: Cultural: Sections II, III, IV

The Istana Rajah Terpilih (Elected Leader’s Palace) is the second-oldest building in the Indonesian States that is still occupied and used. It is located in the former Capital of the Indonesian States, Palembang, Srivijaya State. The palace finished construction in 850 AD. It was built for the leader of the newly-formed Indus Nesos, or the Indonesian States. Istana Rajah Terpilih is truly a awe-inspiring marvel, a 6-story building made almost completely out of marble – a technological wonder at the time, for most buildings were made of stone.
In the front was a grand fountain, and a roundabout surrounded it. That was the entrance to the main palace. The back of the palace was a grand garden, maybe 4x6 kilometers squared. The garden has hedge mazes, fountains, flowers, parks, swimming pools, and more.

The Palace is divided into three separate buildings. In the Center is the main palace, where all the old diplomatic affairs were once held. The offices were moved in 1899, and so this part of the palace is now a historical tourist attraction, making it the Cultural Nomination IV
The Northern Palace (to the left) is where all the History is placed. Private paintings were placed there for the Presidential Family and other guests to look at. Now, these paintings are part of the Istana Rajah Terpilih Museum; both the East and Northern Palaces are a national museum. The North Palace also shows a record-breaking site: The Hall of Leaders. The Hall of leaders has a painting or picture of every president since 845 AD (excluding 1969 – 1974) with a history of what they did beside it. This part is Cultural Nomination II, III
The Southern Palace (To the right) is the summer home for all the Presidential Family. Not much information is known about it, for it is closed to the public. This building, in fact, is not part of the World Heratige Site nomination.
The Gardens are one of the most beautiful in the world, and are similar to the gardens in Versailles, France. There are mazes, fountains, lakes, forests, and much, much more, making it the reason for nomination for Cultural Nomination II

The only reason why the old thread "died" was because the NSWiki is the process of being moved. And to move the entire page to a new HOST is WAY, WAY, WAY too time consuming. (Trust me, adding the World records and the National adjectives took me about 5 hours total, EACH.)

Speaking of which, check those two threads out here:
