==Law and politics==

The Inquisition’s political and legal systems are both based exclusively on religious law: the laws of the country are based on the interpretations given by the Inquisition to the ~~holy books~~ that collect the speeches the Chlamiṣvatrā gave, as well as on a few more later writings. Particularly important in the legal system are the Books of Law, which are the non-dogmatic book periodically revised to collect landmark sentences. The Chlouvānem Inquisition's legal system has, at first glance, many traits of [[w:Common law|Common law]] systems, but the reason behind it is that Inquisitors generally have both legislative and judicial power. Trials operate under an [[w:Inquisitorial system|Inquisitorial system]], with Inquisitors fulfilling the same role as [[w:public procurator|public procurator]]s, that is, investigating and prosecuting a crime. However, no Inquisitor can act as a "Procurator Inquisitor" (''šuteranyē murkadhāna'') and "Judging Inquisitor" (''dvašpegde murkadhāna'') for the same case.

The governmental system of the Inquisition has a very weak degree separation of powers, as even the formally separate legislative (the Inquisitorial Conclave) and executive (the Table of Offices) branches are ultimately subordinate to the Great Inquisitor; the Inquisitorial Conclave, moreover, also functions as the de facto highest court in the judicial system (the Great Inquisitor, de jure, also has higher judicial powers). The Baptist functions as an audit branch, but exclusively monitoring the Great Inquisitor.
