The administration under The Atlass Empire was a complex organization with multiple tiers and flexible management of allied, conquered, and homeland territories. The structure was one of the main reasons the empire lasted for 2000 years and had a sphere of influence thousands of miles across.

Provincial Management[]
Atlass was divided up into Provinces- Elikayan, Regions- Kalikayan, and Cities- Daman, respectively. At it's height around -780, the empire had over 11 Elikayan, 66 official Daman, and 11 Radosan within it's grasp, excluding vassals. In addition to Core provinces under the Elikaya System, there were also 7 Tanecesimayan or "Conquered Administrative Zones". They would usually consist of a mixture of Radosayan (Military zones) and Kalikayan and Daman run by conquered peoples. These were often governed by loyal local nobles but overseen by a Tanecesimik (Consul or Province Manager). These are all listed by region below.
