World Government (G)
Protalus is governed by Self-Perpetuating Oligarchy. A single family or small group provides the leadership and important positions within the government. These positions are inherited by members of the group or by their relatives. The organization may be a monarchy, with titles passed to family members, or a plutocracy where inheritance of the family fortune includes government position. Alternatively, the organization may be a more typical government apparatus, only with positions of power inherited.
- This world is part of the Biumvirate. The Biumvirate government is organized into two separate, but equal bodies: the Civilitas and the Militas.
