45:0.1The ad­min­is­tra­tive cen­ter of Sa­ta­nia con­sists of a clus­ter of ar­chi­tec­tural spheres, fifty-seven in num­ber—Je­ru­sem it­self, the seven ma­jor satel­lites, and the forty-nine sub­satel­lites. Je­ru­sem, the sys­tem cap­i­tal, is al­most one hun­dred times the size of Uran­tia, al­though its grav­ity is a tri­fle less. Je­ru­sem’s ma­jor satel­lites are the seven tran­si­tion worlds, each of which is about ten times as large as Uran­tia, while the seven sub­satel­lites of these tran­si­tion spheres are just about the size of Uran­tia.

45:0.2The seven man­sion worlds are the seven sub­satel­lites of tran­si­tion world num­ber one.

45:0.3This en­tire sys­tem of fifty-seven ar­chi­tec­tural worlds is in­de­pen­dently lighted, heated, wa­tered, and en­er­gized by the co-or­di­na­tion of the Sa­ta­nia Power Cen­ter and the Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers in ac­cor­dance with the es­tab­lished tech­nique of the phys­i­cal or­ga­ni­za­tion and ar­range­ment of these spe­cially cre­ated spheres. They are also phys­i­cally cared for and oth­er­wise main­tained by the na­tive sporna­gia.
