The present-day state of the Inquisition is the result of a two-thousand-year-long expansion through religious conversion and physical intermixing carried out by the Chlouvānem people, assimilating local peoples but creating numerous countries that were held together by their common religion and the use of [[Chlouvānem|Classical Chlouvānem]] as a lingua franca among the other vernaculars that developed from it.

The Chlouvānem Inquisition is the leading power of Calémere's Yunyalīlti communist Eastern Bloc (formally united as the Kayāgaprika (''Kailī Āṇḍhulā nali Galababhrausire Prikaulā'', "International Pact for the Defense of Purity")), ideologically confronting the mostly secular and plurireligious Western Bloc, and the planet's only superpower (due to the Western Bloc not having a single hegemon country). It has a highly developed, predominantly [[w:Planned economy|planned]] in various degrees, economy, characterized among other socialist planned economies by the extensive presence of private artisans nearly dominating the basic need (clothing, soaps, to some extent food) sectors.

It is an international cultural, artistic, and scientific force, a military superpower, and constantly ranks among the top nations for human development, quality of life, environmental performance, healthcare quality, and life expectancy, and has one the planet's lowest income inequalities. However, there is a huge disparity of rights accorded to Yunyalīlti people and those of other faiths, the latter (called ''heretics'' in Chlouvānem contexts) being socially stigmatized, isolated from society, and granted no rights at all: due to the strict monoreligious policy implemented by the Inquisition, heretics are either converted or legally persecuted and killed en masse. Capital punishment is applied, though the most common punishment for criminals is [[w:penal labour|penal labour]], which is carried out in various labour camps in conditions so poor that inmates die anyway after just a few months. | ||
Despite both of Calémere's blocs and non-aligned countries striving for and keeping formal peace, relations between the Inquisition and the West have remained tense ever since the end of the last holy war carried out by the Inquisition, the War for Cleanliness (outside the Inquisition known as "East-West Global War" or simply "Global War") of 6323-6326, organized by then-Great Inquisitor Kælahīmāvi Nāɂahilūma ''Martayinām'', when the Chlouvānem forces invaded Evandor with the goal of physically cleansing it from heretics, setting up a network of extermination camps throughout the continent; the war, which saw nearly 120 million Evandorians killed, ended in a white peace when a near-implosion of the Inquisition due to a series of revolts in the annexed areas of Greater Skyrdagor forced the Chlouvānem forces to retreat from the economically collapsed and virtually already defeated countries of Evandor. | Despite both of Calémere's blocs and non-aligned countries striving for and keeping formal peace, relations between the Inquisition and the West have remained tense ever since the end of the last holy war carried out by the Inquisition, the War for Cleanliness (outside the Inquisition known as "East-West Global War" or simply "Global War") of 6323-6326, organized by then-Great Inquisitor Kælahīmāvi Nāɂahilūma ''Martayinām'', when the Chlouvānem forces invaded Evandor with the goal of physically cleansing it from heretics, setting up a network of extermination camps throughout the continent; the war, which saw nearly 120 million Evandorians killed, ended in a white peace when a near-implosion of the Inquisition due to a series of revolts in the annexed areas of Greater Skyrdagor forced the Chlouvānem forces to retreat from the economically collapsed and virtually already defeated countries of Evandor. | ||
