Many would say it is the unicorn statue in Seven Seas Park.

Image

Clearly the statue is quite new. Before the statue was installed, Cambridge Palace was often seen as the 'symbol' of Genyria.

It would probably be the Space elevator/Original Capital Building siting in the dead center of the city, everyone can see it

Here is a tourist poster for the Capital

The Ascension Cenotaph.
A war memorial to all Samozniy citizens and soldiers killed in conflict since the Battle of the Ascension in 1993. It sits at the heart of Parliament Square, a tall slab of pristine white marble, engraved with each name. It has space for approximately 20 million names, but is unfortunately already filled with 6 million, despite our nation's short, 30 year history.

The double pines, like in the flag is the national symbol.

If you mean't national symbol as in a building, then it's the Acropolis of Science.


At the top stands a statue of Isaac Newton. It's thumb is an observatory telescope. The statue is about twice a tall as the statue of Liberty.
A great monument to science and progress!

It has a base 20 ft. high,which is wider than the central needle.On top of the needle is a bronze eagle with wings outstretched,symbolizing freedom.The sides of the base have bronze statues on all four corners.One statue is of a Garyana Defense Force soldier with rifle upside down,looking down,representing our present,and our willingness to remember.Another statue is a civilian,representing the innocent civilians killed by the Tyrants.Another statue is of a GRA guerilla with rifle raised symbolizing our revolutionary past.The fourth statue is that of a child,looking up to Heaven.This represents our future and our hopes for a better future.The monument is guarded on the four corners by members of the Armed Forces Honour Guard.

It is a giant statue. Its total heigh is 39 ft. 2 in. and portrays a ferocious parrot, biting the head off of a snake. It represents that even in times of danger, one must be strong. It lies in the heart of Crocia and was built around 1924.

Revolution Square in our capital, Minsk. Named after the 1980 Communist Revolution, it has been the main symbol of our country, often seen in parades, or(like in the picture) the biggest celebration of Red Day

Perhaps the most defining feature of Lovaniye, the government's power center in the Capitol City of Lovan: The Foster-Grant Monolith Building.

Surrounded on all sides by the magnificent Lion's Square Gardens, this building stands as a marvelous example of the great power of the nation's economy. It is the headquarters for the nations five largest corporations as well as being the administration center for the national government. The building resembles a large azure pike stretching seemingly endlessly into the sky. All of six-hundred and fifty above-ground floors lead the building to a large dome on top of the building, in which the Grand General's private estate lies amongst an orchard of various edible plants, maintained by a state-of the art cloud-simulating shutter. Inside, the building is a behemoth of maze-like architecture, with corridors stretching every which way throughout each of the gargantuan office floors. The lobby alone is the size of a warehouse, with marble walls, floors, and ceilings decorated with guilded brushed bronze fixtures and extensive chandeliers. A large fountain stands a few meters from the row of doors on the front of the building, featuring a white granite statue of the leader, Pierce Foster, holding in his hand a large scimitar. The blade of this sword is the water feature, gushing in a delicate curve from its handle, grasped tightly by the young reproduction of the General. Beneath this magnificent facade is a large bunker system stretching far beyond the boundaries of the structure and to the edges of the earth beneath Lion's Square. Few people know of this area, but it stretches for seven floors into the ground, with the nation's military command center and VIP shelter located at the very bottom.

The Foster-Grant Monolith building can be seen from anywhere in Lovan, and can be made out faintly from some of the outlying rural areas.

Another popular symbol of our nation is the Presidential Tower, one of the homes as well as the executive office of all three members of the Triad:

A third and final symbol is the Tyrant Lizard Statue, a giant 500 foot tall statue of a fully-grown Tyrannosaurus Rex located in front of Dinosaur Square, a testament to the long-gone and glorious Mesozoic Era.

People think of the Jagoza River, the river where Michael VII was founded, and much of the civilisation of the area was started in this area, on the banks of the Jagoza River. It splits into four just north of both Frbiba and Jagoza, for an example of what the river pretty much looks like, take a look at this.

Okay, well, basically, we have binoculars which are turned at angle that actually bends the light to actually go around the globe, as the Earth is round. But since we know that the Earth is spherical and that only one set of binoculars is nowhere near enough, at every degree of longitude (with local authorities permiting of coarse), we have booster binoculars to bend the light again so it can go around the curve
Kalaspia-Shimarata's flag represents the Union between K&S. The dark blue represents the sea and the light blue represents the sky. In Kalashi language considers light blue and dark blue to be different colours. England colonised, and unified K&S, between 1774 and 1953, and English, light blue and dark blue are considered to be the same colour. Therefore, the contrast between dark blue and light blue represents the union, but the differences between K&S where as blue being two but simultaneously one colour represents K&S being two, but simultaniously one entity. The opposite to the symmetry represents the unity and indipendance of K&S, whilst also representing the Kalashi culture of opposite symmetry.KS is 75% Christian, hence the cross.
