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 bear the name of ''province'' ('''ṣramāṇa''') - for larger but less densely populated areas - or ''eparchy'' ('''ṭūmma''') - for smaller, mostly urban areas. Eparchies 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 raicē/29.8 million inhabitants - there is however no such entity as the city of Līlasuṃghāṇa, but only its eparchy. There are in total seven eparchies in the Inquisition: ''[[Verse:Chlouvānem Inquisition/Līlasuṃghāṇa|Līlasuṃghāṇa]]'' (diocese of Nanašīrama), ''Ilēnimarta'' (diocese of Kanyāvālna), ''Līṭhalyinām'' (Latayūlima), ''Līlta'' (Mīdhūpraṇa), ''Cami'' (Haikamotē), ''Līlikanāna'' (Āturiyāmba), and ''Naiṣambella'' (Yayadalga); apart from the latter (counting 16,1 raicē/4.5 million people), the first five have more than 36 raicē (~10.4 million) inhabitants - Līlikanāna falls just short of it - and are the six largest cities of the country. | 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.

The next local level is the circuit ('''lalka'''), whose denomination changes in some dioceses — '''hālgāra''' (district) in parts of the Southern Far East; '''jāndaca''' (county) across the Northeast; '''bamaba''' (kingdom) in most Western dioceses; '''būlīṃhaka''' (flag) in the rural North; '''tamekih''' (assembly) in the three rainforest dioceses of Talæñoya, Yalyakātāma, and | The next local level is the circuit ('''lalka'''), whose denomination changes in some dioceses — '''hālgāra''' (district) in parts of the Southern Far East; '''jāndaca''' (county) across the Northeast; '''bamaba''' (kingdom) in most Western dioceses; '''būlīṃhaka''' (flag) in the rural North; '''tamekih''' (assembly) in the three rainforest dioceses of Talæñoya, Yalyakātāma, and Vælunyuva (in the latter, the city of Pamahīnēna (the largest inland rainforest city of the Inquisition) is coterminous with the assembly), and '''lanaikiloe''' (island council) in the Kāyīchah islands — without major differences in competences (though it should be noted that competences of circuits or equivalent administrations are not centralized, but defined by the diocese or province). | ||
The lowest level of local administration is the "municipality" one — whose names are in most dioceses either ''parish'' ('''mānai'''), ''city'' ('''marta'''), or sometimes ''village'' ('''poga'''). The distinction between them is mostly of population, with municipalities above a certain population (in many dioceses 40.000<sub>12</sub> (82,944) people) being considered cities. The distinction between villages and parishes is more blurry and varies more between each diocese, with villages usual ly being independent municipalities whose populations are either very small in size compared to nearby ones, or located in sparsely populated areas. | The lowest level of local administration is the "municipality" one — whose names are in most dioceses either ''parish'' ('''mānai'''), ''city'' ('''marta'''), or sometimes ''village'' ('''poga''').
