The highest level is the ''diocese'' ('''rākṣambāha'''), comparable to a federate state; their head is a ''bishop'' ('''rākṣaṇa'''). Many dioceses in an area with shared economical and cultural characteristics are grouped in an administrative unit called ''tribunal'' ('''camimaivikā'''), which intervenes in common regional economic planning and is as well an important statistic unit.<br/> | The highest level is the ''diocese'' ('''rākṣambāha'''), comparable to a federate state; their head is a ''bishop'' ('''rākṣaṇa''').

There are in total 171 dioceses in the Inquisition, divided into 18 tribunals (but two dioceses - the Kāmilbausa and the Kāyīchah islands - are not part of any tribunal, both being insular dioceses between the "mainland" of the Inquisition and the continent of Védren<ref>The Kāyīchah islands are geologically on the Védrenian plate and actually considered part of Védren in every major source.</ref>): ''Jade Coast Area'' (16, <small>lilac in the map above</small>), ''Eastern Plain'' (10, <small>dark light blue</small>), '' | There are in total 171 dioceses in the Inquisition, divided into 18 tribunals (but two dioceses - the Kāmilbausa and the Kāyīchah islands - are not part of any tribunal, both being insular dioceses between the "mainland" of the Inquisition and the continent of Védren<ref>The Kāyīchah islands are geologically on the Védrenian plate and actually considered part of Védren in every major source.</ref>): ''Jade Coast Area'' (16, <small>lilac in the map above</small>), ''Eastern Plain'' (10, <small>dark light blue</small>), ''Namaikehē - Northern Plain'' (7, <small>brown</small>), ''Central Plain'' (9, <small>violet</small>), ''Western Plain'' (7, <small>golden orange</small>), ''Inland Southwest'' (8, <small>earth green</small>), ''Coastal Southwest'' (6, <small>deep green</small>), ''South'' (14, <small>cyan</small>), ''Near East'' (6, <small>orange</small>), ''Southern Far East'' (7, <small>red</small>), ''Far Eastern Islands'' (6, <small>grayish blue</small>), ''Northern Far East'' (9, <small>yellow</small>), ''East'' (9, <small>light green</small>), ''Northeast'' (12, <small>salmon</small>), ''North'' (9, <small>dark light blue</small>), ''Near West'' (15, <small>purple</small>), ''Northwest'' (7, <small>light blue</small>), and ''West'' (10, <small>dark blue</small>).

Some dioceses consist of two separate administrative units with a single religious head - these are mostly newer developments, where effectively a new "state" has been created for all matters except the most strictly religious ones. Depending on the diocese, these separate units may bear the name of ''province'' ('''ṣramāṇa''') - for larger but less densely populated areas - or ''eparchy'' (''' | Some dioceses consist of two separate administrative units with a single religious head - these are mostly newer developments, where effectively a new "state" has been created for all matters except the most strictly religious ones. Depending on the diocese, these separate units may bear the name of ''province'' ('''ṣramāṇa''') - for larger but less densely populated areas - or ''eparchy'' ('''nīrvaṣa''') - for smaller, mostly urban areas. Eparchies are a special kind of administrative division, as they are only divided in municipalities, but they are normally counted as cities statistically - for example the capital city of the Inquisition, ''Līlasuṃghāṇa'', is listed as the nation's largest city, with 9Ɛ,4 raicē/29.8 million inhabitants - there is however no such entity as the city of Līlasuṃghāṇa, but only its eparchy. There are in total seven eparchies in the Inquisition: ''[[Verse:Chlouvānem Inquisition/Līlasuṃghāṇa|Līlasuṃghāṇa]]'' (diocese of Nanašīrama), ''Ilēnimarta'' (diocese of Kanyāvālna), ''Līṭhalyinām'' (Latayūlima), ''Līlta'' (Mīdhūpraṇa), ''Cami'' (Haikamotē), ''Līlikanāna'' (Āturiyāmba), and ''Naiṣambella'' (Yayadalga); apart from the latter (counting 16,1 raicē/4.5 million people), the first five have more than 36 raicē (~10.4 million) inhabitants - Līlikanāna falls just short of it - and are the six largest cities of the country. | ||
The next local level is the circuit ('''lalka'''), whose denomination changes in some dioceses — '''hālgāra''' (district) in parts of the Southern Far East; '''jāndaca''' (county) across the Northeast; '''bamaba''' (kingdom) in most Western dioceses; '''būlīṃhaka''' (flag) in the rural North; '''tamekih''' (assembly) in the three rainforest dioceses of Talæñoya, Yalyakātāma, and Vælunyuva (in the latter, the city of Pamahīnēna (the largest inland rainforest city of the Inquisition) is coterminous with the assembly), and '''lanaikiloe''' (island council) in the Kāyīchah islands — without major differences in competences (though it should be noted that competences of circuits or equivalent administrations are not centralized, but defined by the diocese or province). | The next local level is the circuit ('''lalka'''), whose denomination changes in some dioceses — '''hālgāra''' (district) in parts of the Southern Far East; '''jāndaca''' (county) across the Northeast; '''bamaba''' (kingdom) in most Western dioceses; '''būlīṃhaka''' (flag) in the rural North; '''tamekih''' (assembly) in the three rainforest dioceses of Talæñoya, Yalyakātāma, and Vælunyuva (in the latter, the city of Pamahīnēna (the largest inland rainforest city of the Inquisition) is coterminous with the assembly), and '''lanaikiloe''' (island council) in the Kāyīchah islands — without major differences in competences (though it should be noted that competences of circuits or equivalent administrations are not centralized, but defined by the diocese or province). | ||

The distinction between them is mostly of population, with municipalities above a certain population (in many dioceses 40.000<sub>12</sub> (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. | ||

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. | 84 cities across the Inquisition have the status of '''spṛšamarta''' (closed city), with various levels of movement restriction for non-inhabitants.
