Internet service in the Inquisition is vast and covers the whole nation: about 92% of the population uses internet services. The form of Internet used in the Inquisition, however, is not the general international internet (the ''denómon éréso'') used by most Calemerian countries - the Inquisitorial internet, called ''mulipenai'', is a heavily controlled network maintained by the countries of the ''Kayāgaprika'' (''kailī āṇḍhulā nali galabhælauseh prikaulā'', International Pact for the Defense of Purity, or the official name of the Eastern Bloc), namely the former Kaiṣamā (except for Taruebus) plus Greater Skyrdagor, Nēčathiwēye, and Čīwēynac.

The ''mulipenai'' is characterized by the extensive censorship carried out by its regulating bodies, financed by the various governments; material from the outside internet cannot enter the ''mulipenai'', and user-submitted content is controlled and, if needed, censored by internet police forces.<br/>

The ''mulipenai'' can only be accessed inside its participating countries and, in the Inquisition, for the general population there is no way to access the general internet, which requires special authorizations: only government offices, a small number of computers in a few universities and companies, and citizens listed in the ''kaucādaṣavåla'' (''kaucāṃkraye daranėm lapi ṣarivāṃlaili vålkurah'', List of Citizens with Activities in Foreign Countries) for countries outside the Eastern bloc can access the international internet. Citizens in the latter list and diplomats are also the only ones that can access the ''mulipenai'' abroad.<br/>Foreigners in the Inquisition can access the international internet but not the ''mulipenai''; it is to be noted, however, that in the countries of Greater Skyrdagor, as well as in Nēčathiwēye and Čīwēynac, both the ''mulipenai'' and the general internet coexist (even if access to the latter is not as widespread, reaching up to 28% of the population in Tulfasysz and 26% in Karynaktja), and censorship on Skyrdegan sites is generally less strict than the one of Chlouvānem ones; there have been cases of Skyrdegan sites on the ''mulipenai'' blocked in the Inquisition.

====Phone codes====

Phone numbers are one of the few standards on Calémere that have been adopted planetwide and are not divided in Eastern or Western (unlike e.g. longitude or calendar and time systems). Being a planetwide standard, even in the Inquisition only 10 digits (0-9) are used instead of 12.
