Thought I'd post this as a bit of lighthearted fun.
Where, using todays geography, do you think is the Golden Throne situated?
Options says it all.

The Himalayas. Or at least somewhere in that general continental area.
Because the fluff says so.

Apparently they built the Palace over the Himalayas to some degree (though I imagine parts of the range are still somewhat present) and then built the facilities under the palace.

IIRC, the Summer Palace is built in the Himalayas.
The Imperial Palace is generally stated as being in the majority of the Nothern and Western Hemispheres.
Remember, the palace complex is IMMENSE and takes up more than half the planet by itself.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made. |

well if it takes up the bit of the norhtern and western hemisphere then i would assume the golden throne is done by sea level in the center of it all.

Earth is a dried up husk by(at least) the 31st millennium.
When the Death Guard assault a planet entirely covered in water, one of the remembrancers mention that since he's from Terra, he's never seen an ocean before.

Though I have been thinking about assaulting Terra...
I should find out.

Implying that most metal music is 'badass' or has anything of value.
All seriousness aside I do believe the Emperor himself is in England, and the astronomicon is in the frozen mountains of yeti-land. 3rd edition rulebook IIRC

I have to admit that when I posted this I expected replies like
"I think it's Cumbernauld, because its so 'soul' destroying to live there"
(Apologies to anyone from Cumbernauld, but since I'm Glaswegian, tough!)
I never thought it would actually be taken seriously.

This. It was in the Inquisiton War Omnibus I was reading before. IIRC the Astronomican is east of the throne room. Not sure on how far though.

The Throne room is in the center of the Imperial Palace.
So if the Astronomican is in the Himalayan Mountains, and the Imperial Palace covers the northern Hemisphere letting us figure out the right direction. The scale of that picture is around 1:910142.86 or 1:910143 to make it slightly easier. The Throne Room is approximately 364.572KM away from the Himalayan Mountains. As I'm not that great with Geography I'll leave it to someone else to figure out where that is. Calculator, Wikipedia and Lexicanum ftw
