The Ministry's Canton of Finance is described as an imposing building. It is tall and blocky with a massive rose window in the front, with two red banners hanging down beside the window, proclaiming praises to the Lord Ruler. When one enters the building, one will find a desk at the end of an extended entryway, with an obligator manning the desk. Decorations within the building are generally sparse and lacking. It is often described as austere, bearing only the most necessary furniture and simple grey carpeting, the walls also lacking adornments . An exception to that rule is the waiting room. With plush chairs and lavish decor, the room clearly catered to the tastes of visiting noblemen. {{ref|b|mb1|c|2}}
