'''Legions''' (''jānilšeidah'', pl. ''jānilšeidai'') are congregations formed exclusively by voluntary laypeople that operate inside society, mostly as localized specific support to the state. Different Legions operate in different fields, but most commonly they do provide extrascholastic education - it should however be noted that, according to recent statistics, about 65% of primary and secondary school teachers in the Inquisition are members of some Legion -, pre-Kindergarten services, recreational and holiday activities (summer sports and gymnastics camps) for school students, operation of [[w:Emergency medical services|EMS]], civil security support in case of emergency, general support to poor and ill people, and, especially abroad, services for Chlouvānem people living outside the Inquisition as well as Yunyalīlti proselytism. The latter element is, outside Yunyalīlti-majority countries, very controversial, as many Legions operate in Western countries as terrorist groups and have been responsible for most of the deadliest terrorist attacks in the West since the end of the East-West Global War; the fact that all Legions are recognized and endorsed by the Inquisitorial central power (a Legion only legally exists after having been confirmed by the Inquisitorial Conclave) remains, to date, the most notable issue that keeps relations between the Inquisition and the Western bloc very tense and problematic.

===Nationality law===
Inquisitorial citizenship only appeared some decades after the Consolidation: until 37ᘔ2 (6314<sub>10</sub>), during the Nāɂahilūmi era, each diocese formally had their own citizenship laws. Under the Kaiṣamā, each constituent country (including the Inquisition) had formally equivalent citizenships, which meant that in citizens of one of those countries were treated equally and had full rights in any other constituent country they lived in.
In the post-Kaiṣamā Inquisition, there was a first mass naturalization offer which made Inquisitorial citizenship available to all citizens of other constituent countries of the Kaiṣamā who were born in the territory of the Inquisition during the Union; at the same time, the current nationality law was introduced. Under that law (including following changes), Inquisitorial citizenship is granted:
Through ''ius soli'' or ''ius culturæ'':
* ''at birth'', to children born in the territory of the Inquisition to at least one parent who is either an Inquisitorial citizen, born in the territory of the Inquisition, has continuously lived in the Inquisition for at least 6 years, or if the parents are stateless or unknown.
* ''at the moment of adoption'' for foreign children adopted by a family where at least one member fulfills the above conditions.
* ''when they enter the 13th year of age'' (i.e. at one's 12th birthday) to people born in the territory of the Inquisition to parents not covered in the above circumstances, or children of Qualdomelic, Bronic, or Fathanic parents regardless of place of birth, children of parents who have entered the Inquisition from the Dabuke countries since the start of the Dabuke Civil Wars, provided they have completed at least the final two years of primary school in the Inquisition or at a monastery, and are residents of the Inquisition.
** This applies also to ethnic Bazá children born in Ênêk-Bazá living in the diocese of Tunambasā; ethnic Čathísǫ̃́g children born in Gwęčathíbõth or Čathísǫ̃́g living in the diocese of Jįveimintītas; or children of Maëbian parents living in the diocese of Srāmiṇajāṇai.
* ''subject to agreement, upon entering the 18th year of age'' (at one's 17th birthday, age of majority in the Inquisition) ''or obtaining the tarlāmahi ṣraumaleni'' (diploma of a Professional High School) for people who have completed at least four years of education in the Inquisition or at a monastery.
* ''subject to agreement, upon obtaining the ṣraumaleni'' (diploma of an Institution or Seminary) for people who have completed at least four years of education in the Inquisition or at a monastery.
** This is different from the above as Institutions and Seminaries are two years longer than Professional High Schools, therefore for example someone who moves to the Inquisition and starts schooling during the tenth grade (''tåldende'') of a Professional High School could get the ''tarlāmahi ṣraumaleni'' in two years, which would not allow them to obtain Inquisitorial citizenship; however, in an Institution or Seminary it would take them four years, allowing them to obtain citizenship.
Through ''ius sanguinis'' (if not covered by any ''ius soli'' case):
* ''at birth'', to children born abroad to at least one parent who is an Inquisitorial citizen. In this case, the citizenship is revoked when they enter the 21st year of age if they have not moved to the Inquisition after reaching the age of majority.
* ''subject to agreement, after 3 years of continuous residence in the Inquisition'' to people born abroad who can prove that at least one grandparent was a citizen of the Inquisition.
Through naturalization, after at least eight years of continuous residence in the Inquisition, or eight years of residence in the space of twelve years, of which at least the last three must be of continuous residence, and after attending a mandatory religious course and passing a citizenship test (which is de facto an unofficial Yunyalīlti baptism). The conditions are reduced to:
* three years of continuous residence, plus religious course and citizenship test, for immigrants from the Dabuke countries, only in a diocese of the Far Western tribunal, the dioceses of Ajāṣṭra and Mišaljaiṭa in the Western tribunal, or Prāmāṇṭai in the Coastal Southwest;
* at least 21 months (one and a half years) of continuous residence, plus the religious course and the related citizenship test, for foreigners who have been married to Inquisitorial citizens for at least three years (if married abroad) or two years (if married in the Inquisition);
* 21 months of continuous residence, with course and citizenship test, for stateless people;
* 21 months of continuous residence (without course and citizenship test) for Qualdomelic, Bronic, or Fathanic citizens, or officially registered Yunyalīlti believers.
Citizenship through naturalization is also automatically granted:
* upon becoming a monk in a monastery located in the Inquisition (including foreign monks moving from a foreign monastery of the same monastic order);
* after one year of duty as a member of the Inquisitorial Conclave;
* upon getting elected to the office of Baptist or Great Inquisitor;
* upon extraordinary order of a Bishop, an Eparch, or of the Great Inquisitor.
