The highest level is the ''diocese'' ('''juṃšañāña'''), comparable to a federate state; their head is a ''bishop'' ('''juṃša'''). Many dioceses in an area with shared economical and cultural characteristics are grouped in an administrative unit called ''tribunal'' ('''camimaivikā'''), which intervenes in common regional economic planning and is as well an important statistic unit.

There are in total ~~156~~ dioceses in the Inquisition, divided into 18 tribunals (but two dioceses are not part of any tribunal, both insular dioceses between the ~~rest~~ of the Inquisition and the continent of Védren): ''Jade Coast Area'' (16, lilac in the map above), ''Eastern Plain'' (10, dark light blue), ''Namaikęeh - Northern Plain'' (7, brown), ''Central Plain'' (9, violet), ''Western Plain'' (7, golden orange), ''Inland Southwest'' (8, earth green), ''Coastal Southwest'' (6, deep green), ''South'' (14, cyan), ''Near East'' (6, orange), ''Southern Far East'' (7, red), ''Far Eastern Islands'' (6, grayish blue), ''Northern Far East'' (9, yellow), ''East'' (9, light green), ''Northeast'' (9, salmon), ''North'' (10, dark light blue), ''Near West'' (6, purple), ''Northwest'' (7, light blue), and ''West'' (10, dark blue). Population of the dioceses ranges from 1.67.ᘔƐ.ᘔ0212 (55,717,346) (''Haikamotė'' in the Northern Far East) to 7.21712 (12,403) (the ''Nukahucė'' islands, a remote chain of coral atolls part of the Far Eastern Islands tribunal but somewhat isolated from them).

Some dioceses consist of two separate administrative units with a single religious head - these are mostly newer developments, where effectively a new "state" has been created for all matters except the most strictly religious ones. Depending on the diocese, these separate units may be called ''provinces'' ('''ṣramāṇa''') - for larger but less densely populated areas - or ''quaestorship'' ('''ṭūmma''') - for smaller, mostly urban areas. Quaestorships are a special kind of administrative division, as they are only divided in municipalities, but they are normally counted as cities statistically - for example the capital city of the Inquisition, ''Līlasuṃghāṇa'', is listed as the nation's largest city, with 9Ɛ,4 raicė/29.8 million inhabitants - there is however no such entity as the city of Līlasuṃghāṇa, but only its quaestorship. There are in total six quaestorships in the Inquisition: ''[[Verse:Chlouvānem Inquisition/Līlasuṃghāṇa|Līlasuṃghāṇa]]'' (diocese of Nanašīrama), ''Ilėnimarta'' (diocese of Kanyāvālna), ''Līṭhalyinām'' (Latayūlima), ''Līlta'' (Mīdhūpraṇa), ''Cami'' (Haikamotė), and ''Naiṣambella'' (Yayadalga); apart from the latter (counting 16,1 raicė/4.5 million people), all other ones have more than 36 raicė (~10.4 million) inhabitants and are the five largest cities of the country.
