The headquarters of the [[Planetary Prince]] was situated in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_Gulf Persian Gulf] region of those days, in the district corresponding to later [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia Mesopotamia].

The climate and landscape in the Mesopotamia of those times were in every way favorable to the undertakings of the Prince's staff and their assistants, very different from conditions which have sometimes since prevailed. It was [[necessary]] to have such a favoring climate as a part of the natural environment designed to induce primitive Urantians to make certain initial advances in [[culture]] and [[civilization]]. The one great task of those ages was to transform man from a hunter to a herder, with the hope that later on he would evolve into a [[peace]]-loving, [[home]]-abiding farmer.

The headquarters of the Planetary Prince on Urantia was typical of such stations on a young and developing [[sphere]]. The [[nucleus]] of the Prince's settlement was a very simple but [[beautiful]] city, enclosed within a wall forty feet high. This world center of culture was named '''Dalamatia''' in honor of Daligastia.

The city was laid out in ten subdivisions with the headquarters mansions of the ten councils of the corporeal staff situated at the centers of these subdivisions. Centermost in the city was the temple of the unseen Father. The administrative headquarters of the Prince and his associates was arranged in twelve chambers immediately grouped about the temple itself.

Near the Prince's headquarters there dwelt all [[color]]s and strata of [[human being]]s. And it was from these near-by tribes that the first students of the Prince's schools were recruited. Although these early schools of Dalamatia were crude, they provided all that could be done for the men and women of that primitive age.

The Prince's corporeal staff continuously gathered about them the superior [[individual]]s of the surrounding tribes and, after training and inspiring these students, sent them back as [[teachers]] and [[leaders]] of their respective peoples.[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:3._DALAMATIA.E2.80.94THE_CITY_OF_THE_PRINCE]
