Most homes in the Inquisition have been built in the last 80 years, in order to solve the century-long housing shortage, which due to the better living conditions had become a large problem. This has seen a large growth of cities, mostly with similar developments throughout all of the country: large panel buildings, usually from 3 to 13 stories high (some even reach 20 stories), often more than 100 metres long, placed inside park-like square areas ultimately connected to large, wide roads leading to the city centers. A problem some people have is that flats are easily overcrowded, especially as more often than not Chlouvānem households tend to be of a couple, two to four children, and sometimes the parents of one of the couple members; it is therefore not surprising that bunk beds have become extremely popular, recently overtaking in popularity in many urban areas the traditional hammocks that had been the prototypical Chlouvānem bed for millennia. | Most homes in the Inquisition have been built in the last 80 years, in order to solve the century-long housing shortage, which due to the better living conditions had become a large problem.

===Television=== | |||
Television broadcast in the Inquisition is completely state-owned, with the Central Inquisitorial Television Broadcaster (''cami murkadhānāvīyi chlærvāyami galamęlicamūh'', commonly ''camuchlæga'') being the only nationwide broadcaster. Diocese-owned regional broadcasters are found in most areas, with more local programmes. | |||
The eleven national channels (called ''maita(i)'', "river(s)" in Chlouvānem), plus the international one, are<ref>Where the name is not translated, it is just "first", "second", etc.</ref>: | |||

* ''nęltende maita'' - a sports-focussed channel, particularly for "traditional" sports (archery, fighting) and cycling. | |||
