Dependent territories of the Inquisition mostly consist of relatively small islands with military bases or scientific stations, with the most notable exception being the large territory of the ''Lalla ~~Kehamyuñca~~'' (High North), a jointly-governed area together with Askand, Skyrdagor, and Brono, consisting of the whole area of Eastern Márusúturon north of the 68th parallel north, mostly uninhabited tundra. Extended on such a large area, the territory of the Chlouvānem Inquisition includes all of Calémere's major biomes, with an extremely diverse geography, climate, and wildlife giving it a unique biological megadiversity, peaking in the southern rainforests. More than 60% of the country's human population lives in its tropical areas, roughly between 5ºN and the Northern Tropic.

While the consolidation of the Inquisition as a single state is fairly recent (133 years ago, in 6291 (378312), the Inquisition as a body was formed in the Great Plains in year 4252 (256412) as a churchlike body run by the Inquisitors (''murkadhānai'', literally “black hands”, due to many early rituals requiring the use of ''lunīla'' berries and their pitch-black unedible juice), the preachers of the Yunyalīlti religion. The Inquisition is typically referred to as the country of the Chlouvānem people, a métis ethnicity formed by interracial breeding of various prehistoric peoples of the Great Plain, most prominently the ''Ur-Chlouvānem''<ref>Usually just referred to as ''Chlouvānem'' in any other case where there's no distinction to be made; called ''(o)dældādumbhīñe'' "(proto-)language-bearers" in Chlouvānem historical anthropology.</ref>, a [[Lahob languages|Lahob]] population who had migrated from Northern Evandor across the vast steppes of Márusúturon before reaching the Plains, as well as the ''Lällshag'' (Chl.: ''Lælšanai''), founders of the first urban civilization on the continent. However, the actual ethnic makeup of the country is extremely diverse, with 949 native ethnicities, excluding the Chlouvānem, recognized as distinct by the central government. Linguistically, [[Chlouvānem|Classical Chlouvānem]] is used as lingua franca, but nearly every area has its own local vernacular, either a daughter language of Chlouvānem or a creole based on it, or sometimes a completely unrelated language.
