	Compared to other developed nations, the Inquisition also has a relatively high fertility rate, with a median of 2.2 children per woman; despite infant mortality sharply declining in the last hundred years (to the point that the Inquisition has one of the lowest rates on the planet) and better economic conditions, the fertility rate has not declined that much due to a traditional preference for large families and need for workers in the agricultural sector, as well as because of the widespread welfare programs for parents.<br/>		Compared to other developed nations, the Inquisition also has a relatively high fertility rate, with a median of 2.2 children per woman; despite infant mortality sharply declining in the last hundred years (to the point that the Inquisition has one of the lowest rates on the planet) and better economic conditions, the fertility rate has not declined that much due to a traditional preference for large families and need for workers in the agricultural sector, as well as because of the widespread welfare programs for parents.

	As this has been cause of growing concern in some areas, especially the already overpopulated parts of the nation where the largest cities lie, the government has introduced a program of colonization, offering economic benefits to those from the main populated areas who, once reached age of majority (at the beginning of one's 18th year of age <small>(at one's 17th birthday in English age count)</small>), settle in “development areas”, dioceses with large thinly-populated areas. In some cases, governments still use deportation programs, even though not to the large extent as 80/90 years ago. The Inquisitorial fertility rate has also been a source of concern in some countries, as some politicians there have spoken of a “Chlouvānem plan” for world colonization: this is particularly prominent in Qualdomailor, as it has seen many Chlouvānem immigrants in the last three decades and now ethnic Chlouvānems have risen from 3% to 17% of its population.<br/>Many other countries of the former ''Kaiṣamā'', apart from Qualdomailor, still have large numbers of ethnic Chlouvānem, for example 33% of the population in Fathan, 24% in Brono, 14% in Kŭyŭgwažtov and 10% in Soenjŏ-tave.

	Retail shops in the Inquisition are still mostly artisans (''āndaralila'', pl. ''āndaralelyē'') for non-food products, while food is usually sold at market stalls (''cāṇḍara'', pl. ''cāṇḍarai''); these are most often located in large suq-like areas in the central parts of cities, but temporary stalls may also be found elsewhere in the city, especially in well-frequented areas. "Traditional" supermarkets are not a common sight throughout the country, except for the large state-run department stores, the ''ṣarivāṃluvai'' (pl. ''-luvāye''), which almost exclusively sell products from state industries and state farms, and are typically huge, often monumental buildings, at the heart of large cities; the ṣarivāṃluvai in the central square of Līlta is the largest commercial building in the Inquisition. Another type of retail shop that is often found in large cities is the Chlouvānem equivalent of a convenience store, called ''lalyāluvai'' (literally "night market") because they are reliably found open during the night (in some areas, it is common for them to be closed during the day). Convenience stores are also usually found at railway stations, bus/ferry terminals, and airports.<br/>		Retail shops in the Inquisition are still mostly artisans (''āndaralila'', pl.

	Another category of retail shops that may be identified is that of generic shops (still called ''cāṇḍara''; market stalls may be disambiguated as ''laṃghāṇḍara'' if needed), most of the time state-run, which can be compared to supermarkets, scaled-down versions of department stores, selling state-produced wares only — they are usually cheaper than artisanal products, but on average of lower quality. These shops, as well as convenience stores, are more common in the urban residential areas dominated by large apartment complexes.

	The population of the Inquisition is very unequally distributed throughout the national territory. The eastern part of the Nīmbaṇḍhāra-Lāmberah plain, together with the neighboring Jade Coast and its surroundings, is the most densely populated area on the whole of Calémere, and similar densities may be found in coastal Haikamotē, Hirakaṣṭē, and Kainomatā dioceses in the East. On the other hand, there are many mostly rural areas as well as sparsely populated areas such as the taiga in the far Northeast, the Southern rainforest, and most high mountain chains; the most notable example is perhaps the arid belt of deserts and semi-deserts with little population due to a widespread lack of reliable water sources.<br/>		The population of the Inquisition is very unequally distributed throughout the national territory.

	In the Chlouvānem Inquisition's territory about 650 different languages are spoken. [[Chlouvānem]] functions as the vehicular lingua franca due to its role as liturgical language, and is used in most - if not all - formal occasions, most written material (even if there is a sizable market of books and especially grey-market comics in vernacular languages), and even in colloquial speech where the speakers don't have any other language in common. Due to the latter reason, it is generally the lone main vernacular only in areas which were settled by people from all around the country (as most settlements in the Western deserts) or cities (mainly in the Northwest, but also on Hokujaši and Aratāram islands in the far Northeast) which only came into the Chlouvānem sphere late and have not developed a local vernacular (a daughter language of Chlouvānem or a creole).

	The majority of vernaculars are non-Chlouvānem languages that coexist with Chlouvānem languages since the expansion of the Yunyalīlta and the formation of a métis and hybrid Chlouvānem ethnicity; in most of the Plain and the Jade Coast the formation of this ethnicity happened so far back in time that eventually only the Chlouvānem-derived vernacular remains (save for a few areas, notably in the Līrah River Hills in the northeastern Plain and in some areas of the Western Plain); in all other parts of the country, the patterns of languages are similar to ethnicity (even if there is a much greater number of non-Chlouvānem-language/creole speakers than of non-Chlouvānem people, as many ethnically hybrid people are counted as Chlouvānem even if they have three or more non-Chlouvānem ethnicities in their family tree): large urban areas are predominantly Chlouvānem-vernacular speaking, as are the most densely populated areas along rivers and most of the coasts, while the rural hinterlands mostly speak a non-Chlouvānem vernacular. Haikamotē in the Northern Far East, the most populated and most densely populated diocese in the country, is a partial exception as it is the only diocese outside the Plain and Jade Coast (and minor, sparsely populated areas) where speakers of a Chlouvānem vernacular are over 90%. Tūnambasā, ~~Seikamvēyeh~~, and to a lesser extent most other ethnic dioceses are areas where the non-Chlouvānem vernacular is generally more widespread.<br/>Note that, while in cities the main vernacular is most often a Chlouvānem one, due to their generally more cosmopolitan nature they see a larger usage of the classical language in daily colloquial interactions. In the largest cities it is not uncommon to find cultural circles speaking immigrant languages, both vernaculars of other parts of the Inquisition and languages from elsewhere like most notably Soenjoan, Kuyugwazian, or various Yombu-Raina languages from eastern Védren.

	Due to the respective countries' strategic links, Skyrdagor is the most widely known foreign language, with an estimate of 55% to 60% of people in the Inquisition able to use it to some degree. Each one of Cerian, Bronic, and Qualdomelic is also known to some extent by around 30% of people in the country.

	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.

	Road vehicles are thus mostly trams (''ūnitā''), buses (''marcā''; and especially electric trolleybuses (''bęmarcā'') inside cities) and taxis (''mąšcūlla'' if a car; ''mąškhah'' if a rickshaw) for local transport; in most cities, bicycles, rickshaws, and cycle-rickshaws are the most common means of private transport — according to a 6420 <small>(3870<sub>12</sub>)</small> survey, there are four times as many bicycles than cars in the eparchy of Līlasuṃghāṇa.<br/> Trams are a common sight in most medium- and large-sized cities, where they often act as the most local form of transport in a network with a backbone formed by subway and suburban railway lines. Many medium-sized cities also have hybrid tram/subway systems, with more central areas having a subway-like service with concurrent lines, while in the suburbs it becomes a large capacity tram service, fed by bus lines or, increasingly often in newer-built areas, cycling paths.

	The Chlouvānem Inquisition uses left-hand traffic, except for some minor mountain roads without guard rails.

The Chlouvānem Inquisition uses left-hand traffic, except for some minor mountain roads without guard rails. Among the 18 bordering countries, Džemleštew, Leñ-ṱef, Qualdomailor, Brono, Fathan, and Gorjan are LHT like the Inquisition; all other neighboring countries (including Skyrdagor, which shares a maritime border) are RHT.
