White Room

The White Room is a designated ceremonial space within the Neutralstonese Parliament where portraits of elected Chairmen of Neutralston are traditionally taken. Introduced by Chairman Nowsk Fuchs in 2009, this practice has become a significant tradition, symbolizing the official induction and recognition of each Chairman into office.
History
Before the establishment of the White Room, the process of capturing the official portrait of a Chairman was less formalized. Typically, photographs were taken at the Chairman's residence or in outdoor settings, often reflecting personal or symbolic preferences of the individual in office.
In 2009, Chairman Nowsk Fuchs proposed the creation of a dedicated space within the Parliament building for this purpose. The idea behind the White Room was to standardize the process and create a formal setting that would convey the solemnity and dignity of the Chairman's role. The room itself is designed to be neutral in decor, with plain white walls and minimal furnishings, ensuring that the focus remains solely on the Chairman and the office they represent.
Ceremony and Procedure
When a new Chairman is elected, one of their first official duties is to have their portrait taken in the White Room. This ceremony typically takes place shortly after the inauguration, symbolizing the official commencement of their term in office. The Chairman is photographed in formal attire, often seated or standing in front of the plain white backdrop.
The portraits are meticulously archived and displayed in chronological order within the Parliament building, creating a visual timeline of the nation's leadership over the years. These portraits serve not only as historical records but also as symbols of continuity and tradition in Neutralstonese governance.
