The Royal Green, formally His Most Christian Majesty's Royal Green, is a landscaped park in downtown Urceopolis, the Archcathedral City of the Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea. The Green runs from the basin pool behind the Julian Palace to Old City, bisecting the borough of the Flats. The Royal Green contains and borders a number of museums, art galleries, cultural institutions, and various memorials, sculptures, and statues. The two most notable and historic sites on the green are the aforementioned Julian Palace and the Forum, the center of ancient Levantine civic life. The park receives approximately 43 million visitors each year.

Background

Urceopolis was, by the middle of the 19th century, a crowded, dirty, and growing city, as was common of large cities during the Industrial Revolution. King Aedanicus VIII's interest in urban renewal during this period lead to the creation of the park out of several parks on the Pale, especially including the Royal Garden of the Julian Palace, into one expansive park running the length of the old Flats area. The Levantine Forum was also included at the east side of the park. The park's construction began in 1861 and concluded in 1867, displacing many government structures. Much of the rush was attributable to the upcoming 1869 World's Fair that was to be held in Urceopolis.
