The possibility of making | The possibility of making Vaskuvānuh diocese (in the North) the ethnic diocese of the Qorfur people has been proposed many times on the grounds of it being part of the historical Qorfur lands. However, so far this has not been approved due to its long current history outside Qorfur influence (it was Skyrdagor long before it was Chlouvānem) and the fact that Qorfur people in Vaskuvānuh do not reach 10% of the population - in fact, most Qorfur people in the world live in diaspora communities especially on Márusúturon and even in the Qorfur nation of Qorfurkweo their number only reaches 30% of the population (most of it is of Skyrdegan or Čathísǫ̃́g origin). | ||
The diocese of Rǣrajāṇai in the Near East has a somewhat special status, because it has most characteristics of ethnic dioceses but, due to its history, land rights for the native ethnicity do not apply in the whole territory. This is because the diocese was only formed in the Kaiṣamā era as a territory for settling down the ''Rǣrai'' (endonym ''ræ:ærnuk''), a population speaking a Fargulyn language, distantly related to [[Skyrdagor]], which had been itinerant in most of the Plain and the Near East for centuries<ref>Many Rǣrai had already drifted apart, better integrating with the rest of society and settling down in other areas. 79 of the officially recognized ethnicities indigenous to the Inquisition are sometimes grouped ethnographically as "Macro-Rǣrai" (''paṣrǣrai''), and when grouped together they are, after the Chlouvānem, the second-largest ethnicity in the Inquisition overall.</ref>. As the territory they were settled in was already populated, Rǣrai people were mostly assigned to newly built towns, including for example the current episcopal seat of the diocese, Reṣṇagærimarta. Rǣrai people are today the majority in the diocese's territory (71%), but most bordering areas have a majority of non-Rǣrai people, some of them having been settled there for a thousand years, and those areas lack land rights for Rǣrai. Similarly, Rǣrajāṇai diocese does not have separate Synods, unlike all ethnic dioceses (except Hūnakañjaiṭa). | The diocese of Rǣrajāṇai in the Near East has a somewhat special status, because it has most characteristics of ethnic dioceses but, due to its history, land rights for the native ethnicity do not apply in the whole territory.
