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 40.00012 (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.

Clusters of nearby mid-small parishes often form an entity called ''inter-parish territory'' ('''~~maimānāyuseh~~ ṣramāṇa'''), sharing between them some basic services like recycling, local transport, or fire protection.

Clusters of nearby mid-small parishes often form an entity called ''inter-parish territory'' ('''maimānāyusire ṣramāṇa'''), sharing between them some basic services like recycling, local transport, or fire protection.

84 cities across the Inquisition have the status of '''spṛšamarta''' (closed city), with various levels of movement restriction for non-inhabitants. They are often situated serving strategically important facilities such as large electric plants, military bases and industries, cosmodromes, or labour camps.

While the lowest independent division is the parish (including cities and villages), a minor area in a parish may be recognized as a ''hamlet'' ('''mūreh''') (note that some dioceses use the term for village (''poga'') instead), which for cities is usually a ''borough'' ('''~~martauseh~~ poga''', literally "urban village"); in the quaestorship of Līlasuṃghāṇa only, the core wards of the city are designated as ''hālgāra'' (districts). Note that cities may also have hamlets: boroughs are usually defined as such if many of them form a large contiguous urban area; smaller inhabited places in rural areas administered by a city are still hamlets.

Large uninhabited or extremely sparsely populated areas are often not assigned to any municipality, but are administered by the circuit and defined as an ''extra-parish territory'' ('''~~šrimāṇāyuseh~~ ṣramāṇa''').

====Ethnic dioceses====

A number of dioceses in the Inquisition are '''ethnic dioceses''' (''~~lailyāvikauseh~~ juṃšañāña'', pl. ''~~lailyāvikausei~~ juṃšañāñai''), home to native, non-Chlouvānem ethnicities. In these dioceses, the languages of the titular ethnicities are co-official in every aspect of public life and members of these ethnicities usually have "land rights" that other ethnicities do not have (for example there are usually substantially faster waiting times for housing allocation for titular ethnicities when compared to ethnic Chlouvānem).  It should however be noted that in all but one of these dioceses (Tūnambasā), the titular ethnicities are less than half of the population, being as low as 11% for Hūnakañai in Hūnakañjātia (most ethnic Hūnakañai do live there — but the diocese includes the 10th largest city of the Inquisition, Līlekhaitė, which is predominantly Chlouvānem). With the exceptions of the Bazá (Chl. ''Basā'') in Tūnambasā and the Čathinow (''Cathinūvai'') in Seikamvėyeh, all other titular ethnicities are only native to the territories of the Inquisition. The Bazá, which are the largest group in their ethnic diocese (78%), are also numerically the largest of any non-Chlouvānem titular ethnicity in the Inquisition.
