The Jade Coast Area is the heartland of the Chlouvānem nation and one of the most densely populated areas on Calémere. The Jade Coast proper is composed by Mīdhūpraṇa, the short littoral of Marṇadeša, Kāṃradeša, eastern Nanašīrama, Takajñanta, Latayūlima, and Jhūtañjaiṭa; the other areas inland ( | The Jade Coast Area is the heartland of the Chlouvānem nation and one of the most densely populated areas on Calémere. The Jade Coast proper is composed by Mīdhūpraṇa, the short littoral of Marṇadeša, Kāṃradeša, eastern Nanašīrama, Takajñanta, Latayūlima, and Jhūtañjaiṭa; the other areas inland include most of the areas around Lake Lūlunīkam, the Lanamilūki river valley (basins of Talæñoya and Bhūsrajaiṭa), and the lower part of the Kuɂanibam valley (diocese of Kamaidaneh). All of these areas are parts of river basins that enter this coast, most of them through the tidal Lake Lūlunīkam (on whose shores lies [[Verse:Chlouvānem Inquisition/Līlasuṃghāṇa|Līlasuṃghāṇa]], the Inquisition's capital) and its outlet, the Kyūkamiša ria (which constitutes the border between Kāṃradeša on the north and Nanašīrama on the south). This area includes some of the largest cities of the whole planet (Līlasuṃghāṇa, Līlta, Līṭhalyinām) and many other large cities of national importance (Taitepamba, Kūmanabūruh, Lunahīkam, Hūnakṣaila). The coastal dioceses are mostly plains and hills with heavy human use (agricultural, urban, and industrial); central and southern Nanašīrama and Bhūsrajaiṭa are quite hilly, while the southern part of this area (the whole of Kamaidaneh, the southern ⅔ of Talæñoya, central and southern Nanašīrama, inland Latayūlima, and hilly areas of Takajñanta and Jhūtañjaiṭa) are part of the great southern rainforest; Talæñoya and Nanašīrama include parts of the "wall of igapós and várzeas", particularly by the Lanamilūki river, the main river running through the area. | ||
Largest cities: ''Līlasuṃghāṇa'' (29,698,169), ''Līṭhalyinām'' (13,147,337), ''Līlta'' (1,792,845). | |||

The Southern Tribunal is entirely composed of the Inquisition's southern rainforest and neighboring islands | The Southern Tribunal is entirely composed of the Inquisition's southern rainforest and neighboring islands. For this reason, it is one of the most sparsely populated areas in the whole country: more than half of the population lives in the two metropolitan areas of Lūlunimarta and Hālyanēṃṣah, and most of the rest in the metropolitan areas of Pamahīnēna, Kælšamīṇṭa, or Ājvalimva's river valleys. The inland part of the rainforest is dotted with many tiny riverside communities, most of them accessible only by boat and air: excluding Pamahīnēna in Vælunyuva, which is mostly connected to the Jade Coast, the largest settlement inside the rainforest is Nānya, the episcopal seat of Kīkañjaiṭa, almost in the centre of the tribunal, with 32,000 inhabitants. Miraukātāma is the least populated non-insular diocese of the Inquisition, and one of only three non-insular ones (together with Ērešmaita and Karūskātāma) to not have any rail access: note that the dioceses of Yalyakātāma and Vælunyuva, while part of an unbroken rainforest, are part of the Kuɂanibam river basin (draining into the Jade Coast), and are only connected by rail and road to the Jade Coast and not to the other dioceses of the South. | ||
