Possessions are a type of provincial-level administrative division of Caphiria describing any major territory outside of the Caphirian mainland - Caphirium Maiorem. Throughout its history, Caphiria has had several types of possession but today the Imperium has 3 types of possession:
- An overseas province has exactly the same status as provinces on mainland Caphiria, with Caphirian laws and regulations (the Imperium's civil code, penal code, administrative law, social laws, tax laws, etc.) being applicable, but can be adapted as needed to suit particular needs. As integral parts of Caphiria, overseas provinces are represented in the Assemblies of Caphiria as well as various councils in the national government, use the Aureus, and are afforded all of the same liberties as mainland provinces As a result, the local administrations of overseas provinces cannot themselves pass new laws.
- An Overseas Possession is a colony or territory with a semi-autonomous status allowing it to internally self-govern, with the Imperium retaining responsibility for defense and foreign relations. Possessions still follow the same organization of provinces, though the naming scheme may differ based on cultural and historical contexts. Possessions are considered the personal property of the reigning Imperator;
- A Protectorate is a country or sovereign state under The Imperium's suzerainty. The state possesses its own political and administrative statute and government, and local rulers retain near-absolute control over the states' internal affairs and the Imperium exercises control over the defense and foreign affairs.
Currently, Caphiria has 6 possessions:
- The Escal Isles, a possession and archipelago in the Okatian Sea in Australis;
- Coribus, a small island possession in the Odoneru Ocean;
- Cenendovia, an international charter city and possession controlled by Caphiria in northern Crona;
- Zaclaria, a Protectorate of Caphiria located in Audonia;
- Vespera, an overseas province in Vallos;
- Amaniaris, a small island possession situated between the Taínean Sea and the Kindreds Sea
