The Promethius Prime Oligarchy, more commonly referred to as Promethia, is a sovereign unitary oligarchy, located in eastern Lashire. Promethia shares land borders with Vitaeroma to the west and Katapeshi to the north. The nation occupies a relatively flat coastal plain with a warm climate to the north, and a more temperate climate in the southern regions. The border with Vitaeroma runs along the line of the Duachta Hills while the border with Katapeshi runs along the edge of the Haltheston Hills. Promethia is an elective dictatorship with the Head of State and Government being elected for life by the Council of Electors, a largely aristocratic institution. The capital city is Lachlan, a coastal city of approximately 350,000 people found in the Lachlan Bay.

The Promethius Prime Oligarchy is ruled by a Patrician who serves as both Head of Government and Head of State. The Patrician is elected for life by the Council of Electors, which consists of the sitting Dukes of Lachlan, Montierey, and Halholen; the sitting Viscounts of Kilarne and Kirk, and the Barons of Landsey and Kirdaere; and the sitting Lord-Bishops of Lachlan, Haltness, and Furlangan. The Council of Electors is also responsible for proposing new laws and approving the more significant dictates of the Patrician. This system of government has existed since 477 PCE when the last Archduke of Promethia, Eoghan VII was deposed and executed. The composition of the Council consists of the descendants (or in the case of the Electors Spiritual, the incumbent title holders) of the original conspirators. Since the abolition of the monarchy titles of nobility and knighthoods have been conferred by the Patrician and by the Electors.
