Scenery introduction: Since the opening of the park, Lilliput has had a Youth City Council (JGR) and a Youth Mayor, and elections are held every year. Representatives of the City Council are elected by a number of schools in The Hague every year. The term of each member is two years. The first mayor of Madurodam was Princess Beatrix, who was only 14 years old at the time, and caused a great sensation at the time. Queen Beatrix ascended the throne in 1980 and became the queen. She resigned as mayor and became the guardian of Madurodam. The city mayor began to be selected from members of the city council, Madurodam's youth mayor and youth councilors. It was compulsory to attend every public ceremony in Madurodam and to formally welcome each new building model.
