===Democracy===

Democracy in the Inquisition is present in all levels except for the national one, in a style mostly similar (except for diocesan-level politics) to [[w:Soviet democracy|Soviet democracy]]. With only a few exceptions (mainly ethnic dioceses), all dioceses operate under the following model, with only minor changes (mostly in the number of elected delegates).<br/>

Every (non-private) workplace, sub-parish-level district, factory, or barracks in the Inquisition forms its own Synod (''~~galьtirāh~~'') which elects a delegate (''~~pidnalьmęlīn~~''), operating under [[w:imperative mandate|imperative mandate]], to the local (parish-level) Synod. Each parish-level Synod then elects its own delegates (from this level upwards operating under free mandate; numbers vary depending on the diocese) to the upper-level Synod. At the diocesan level, there is a distinction to be made in different dioceses: most dioceses have a Diocesan Synod (''juṃšañāñi ~~galьtirāh~~'') which is formed both by Inquisitors, nominated inside the local branches of the Inquisition, and delegates of lower-level Synods. Dioceses that include an eparchy have a Higher Diocesan Synod (''juṃšañāñi lalla ~~galьtirāh~~'') whose membership is divided in three parts: one third of diocese-nominated Inquisitors, one third of delegates of the Provincial Synod(s) (which, in these dioceses, include both Inquisitors and laypeople), which must be composed of an equal number of Inquisitor delegates and lay delegates, and the last third of delegates of the Eparchical Synod (which is only composed by laypeople).

Diocese-level democracy is the highest level of democracy in the Inquisition, as diocesan representatives in the central government (all as High Inquisitors) are all nominated by the Bishop; the only exceptions are the single High Inquisitors nominated by each of the seven eparchies, which are nominated by the Eparchical Synod (still, they must be Inquisitors, not laypeople).
