How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
One of the game's three strongholds, a heavily defended fortress of the True Sons faction at the east end of the National Mall.
The real place
The Capitol is the seat of the US Congress, with its cast iron dome completed in 1866. Reviewers comparing the game with the real city found that the Capitol looks almost exactly the same.
Visiting
Free guided tours start at the underground Capitol Visitor Center on the east side; book ahead online. You can also watch Congress from the galleries with a pass from a senator's or representative's office.
