Alpha Mare Twilight Sparkle has no busts of anypony in her office.

Prime Minister Morning Star, on the other hand, has numerous busts, statues and paintings of himself in his office.

In the throne room so are there no busts but rather massive statues of kings of old that looks down upon the men there to remind them whos shoes they are trying to fill, on the high kings room is there however a bust of Karl Marx that were claimed from the syndicalist government during the end of the civil war that the current high king claimed as a trophy, however during recent years so have the bust been given a rather comically large hat and are currently known as "old Markserman" by the younger pages that have complained about the way it looks at people.

The high king have claimed that that is part of the reason he have kept it so far.

There are also one of Emanuel the first that were the firs high king but as his picture can be found all over the federation so is he nothing out of the ordinary.

In Queen Sophia's office there is a bust of Queen Isabella the Fair, of whom the Queen is a great admirer. Their is also a potrait of King Richard the Builder, the first Maddoxian King. Rumour has it the Queen keeps a framed picture of her father in a locked dr at her desk.wer.

Our leader only has their bust in their office. Our leader is a woman, though.
Please note: Central Lothian is the direct successor to Mid Lothian*. As a result, I am still called Rebecca, I am still a Grammar Nazi and most information pertaining to ML also applies to CL (although I will be taking this time to change a few things).

* - And I may refer to the country as Mid Lothian. If I do, assume that I mean Central Lothian. (And not to be confused with "Midlothian" - I'm using that as a fascist version of CL.)

The Chancellery has several different bust statuettes in the building and halls. All of them have the name of the subject under them, but some engravings have more on them. The busts are crafted of pure white marble and come from many different sources.

    There are smiling busts of:
  • Some adorable little old lady: This sits bolted onto the desk of the lobby receptionist, and the engraving underneath says "YOU ARE LOVED". Crafted in 1899, this bust, of solid white marble, was a gift from an extremely wealthy senior citizen for the purpose of "improving morale and restating the purpose of living a Christian life". It is one of the oldest items in the building.
  • Jimmy Two Shoes: In TurtleShroom, the Jimmy Two Shoes Show is broadcast by radio (as opposed to its RL television) and edited for said format. It is the most profitable and lucrative radio show in the history of TurtleShroom. The statue was donated to the Chancellery in 2010 by the radio broadcaster in the name of "culture". The engraving underneat reads "IN HONOR OF THE JIMMY TWO SHOES RADIO HOUR". It is also in the lobby, near the old lady bust.
  • Queen Haiz II: The Queendom of Haiz was one of TurtleShroom's all time greatest allies. The bust was an early 2009 gift of diplomacy and goodwill from the country, and it proudly displayed in a glass case in the hall outside of the Chancellors' bedrooms.
  • Jones Found: The Founding Father of TurtleShroom. Famous for successfully negotiating peace between the bickering turtles, humans, and mushrooms of TurtleShroom, he arrived in the nation, fixed it up, and vanished, never to return again. No TurtleShroomer has been found with blood relations to him, so many think he either never had kids, or his self-description as a "travelling missionary that never settled down" was how he died, too. There are two of these busts, one on each Chancellor's main desk (from which they govern), and a third has been made when for the desk of the new Human Chancellor to be coronated. A fourth sits in the lobby on the receptionist's desk, and two grace the thresholds of the double doors you enter into the Chancellery building from.
  • Elliot Ness: The Americalandese prohibitionist that was famous for purging his Bureau of Alcohol, Tobbacco, and Firearms ranks to an elite team of righteous, incorruptible men that ended up toppling a Mafia godfather in the 1930s. His bust is also in the lobby, displayed behind a glass case. Conspiracy theories say that you can lift Elliot's head open and press a button to release a trapdoor that leads to the myhtical "Star Chamber" that lurks under the Federal Bureaucracy Board building. This is, of course, dismissed as absurd. The bust is behind there because it is easily damagable and to prevent vandalism, silly!
  • Carrie Nation: The violent, cunning, seven-foot plus, axe-wielding teetotal/temperence warrior credited with majorly catylyzing ushering in Prohibition for the Americalandese people in the 1920s. She hailed from Americaland and was famous (in RL) for taking that axe and literally chopping saloons to bits. Again, her bust is in the lobby of the Chancellery building, behind a glass case. The engraving underneath says "DO NOT DRINK".
  • Billy Graham: The greatest Protestant preacher to have ever lived, credited with assisting in leading to the salvation of tens of thousands of souls, rivalled only by the Apostle Paul and the original Early Church's leaders, such as the Eleven Faithful Diciples. Copies of his bust are in the lobby and on the Chancellors' main desks.
  • John D. Rockefeller: The legendary Americalandese oil tycoon whose work and power is idolized in TurtleShroomer world history courses and by oil firms all throughout the land. The engraving reads "DRILL BABY DRILL". It is in the lobby behind a glass case.
  • El Presidente: No one is quite sure who this is, why it's here, or even how it got here or its sculptor. In 2009, the lobby receptionist walked in to find it on her desk. Seeing no use in wasting the bust, she placed it in a glass case anyway. There are no engravings or even a name, just "El Presidente".
  • Eli Whitney: Americalandese inventor of the cotton gin. Cotton is one of the largest exports and cash crops of TurtleShroom.


Although not technically a bust, there is a large sculpture accurately depicting Chancellors Marvin Weirdidea and Fungusamongus Lamepun, in addition to their twenty four Majestic Twelvers that could have inherited the Chancellery throne. All twenty six of them were killed in a collosal terrorist attack that fundamentally changed TurtleShroom forever. The statue is right outside the Chancellery Building and is the centerpiece of a lovely fountain that lists the names, birth/hatching/germination dates, and death dates of each victim of the blast, including the other non-regal casualties.
