After the Kaiṣamā ended, it was the time of the so-called "new progressivists", somewhat more open than the hard-line Yunyalīlti Communism-influenced High Inquisitors that worked during the Kaiṣamā (Great Inquisitor Mæmihūmiāvi Kañeñǣkah ''Læhimausa'' continued to hold power for a further twenty years, until her death in 6398 (3852<sub>12</sub>), though embracing "new progressivism"). During this period, immigrating into the Inquisition became easier, especially for people from poorer Védrenian countries, and peaking after 6387 (3843<sub>12</sub>) with the start of the first of the Dabuke Civil Wars right across the western borders of the Inquisition. Many immigrants from all continents (apart Evandor and, to a lesser extent, Púríton; also immigration from most countries of the former Kaiṣamā greatly decreased) entered the Inquisition during this period, but most of them had difficulties in founding immigrant communities due to immigrants being redistributed and housed in different parts of the country upon arrival. Children of "new progressivism"-era immigrants, for this reason, are all considered Chlouvānem as they readily integrated into mainstream Chlouvānem culture, as did most of their parents anyway. | After the Kaiṣamā ended, it was the time of the so-called "new progressivists", somewhat more open than the hard-line Yunyalīlti Communism-influenced High Inquisitors that worked during the Kaiṣamā (Great Inquisitor Mæmihūmiāvi Kañeñǣkah ''Læhimausa'' continued to hold power for a further twenty years, until her death in 6398 (3852<sub>12</sub>), though embracing "new progressivism").

While "new progressivism" proper is considered to end soon after the election of Great Inquisitor Chilamulkāvi Praṣṭhyæša ''Nariekayah'' in 6398 (3852<sub>12</sub>), these immigration policies continued until well into the reign of the following Great Inquisitor Kælidañcāvi Læñchlīñchlē ''Mæmihūmia'' (elected in 6408 (3860<sub>12</sub>) after Praṣṭhyæša resigned); late Kañeñǣkah- and early Praṣṭhyæša-era policies aimed at East-West "reconciliation" also had the effect of easing immigration from the West, and in fact there has been a moderately large number of Western middle-class, educated people who came to the Inquisition, mostly working in the education and scientific sectors.

However, the bulk of immigrants continued to come from poorer countries of Eastern Védren, parts of the former Kaiṣamā, and Ovítioná; the 6405 (3859<sub>12</sub>) earthquake and tsunami in the Inner Skyrdegan Sea, that hit the well developed Greater Skyrdegan economies very hard, also had the effect of increasing immigration from those areas. | ||
The rise of traditionalism (and Nāɂahilūmism) in the last ten years restored many of the Kaiṣamā-era restrictions to immigration; anyway, the start of the second wave of the Dabuke Civil Wars in northeastern Védren has led to a large influx of immigrants entering the Inquisition from there. Middle-class immigration from the West also has not stopped, but most of those immigrants are now Communist-aligned students or "new age" followers of Yunyalīlti-influenced cults; depending on where they work, such immigrants may have less restrictions in travelling abroad, with restricted movement being mainly from Western part (like in the ongoing controversial case of the Cerian-born woman Tanūrēṣāvi Laitamērališā ''Lyāni'' (born Reáni Laitaméra), who married a Chlouvānem man considered a terrorist by international security forces and can't travel outside the Inquisition and a few other Eastern Bloc countries).<br/> | The rise of traditionalism (and Nāɂahilūmism) in the last ten years restored many of the Kaiṣamā-era restrictions to immigration; anyway, the start of the second wave of the Dabuke Civil Wars in northeastern Védren has led to a large influx of immigrants entering the Inquisition from there.

Automotive industry in the Chlouvānem Inquisition is dominated by state-owned factories, each one selling a single or a few types of cars under its own brand. Chlouvānem cars are also sold throughout the whole Eastern bloc. The largest factory on Calémere is the ''halcūmai'' (''haltakimarti cūllumi maimālchas'') in Haltakimarta, Kainomatā diocese, in the Northern Far East. The main brands sold in the Inquisition are the ''Halcūmai'', ''Ṣurcūmai'' (from Ṣurvāla, Perelkaša diocese), ''Irucūmai'' (Iruvāṇi, Jolenītra), ''Yañcūmai'' (Yañcajāṇa, Latayūlima), ''Taicūmai'' (Tairaholka, Kūlyambārih), ''Rocūmai'' (Rotasūn, Tārṣaivai), and ''Šæcūmai'' (Šæmānnah, Vuvateñārta). The compact and cheap [[w:Kei car|naidacūlla]] model 14 (HLT-1114) from the Haltakimarta factory has become an iconic symbol of car transport throughout the Eastern bloc, and its first generation (produced from 6352 (3814<sub>12</sub>) to 6380 (3838<sub>12</sub>)) is probably the best-selling car in Calemerian history, having been sold all throughout the former Kaiṣamā, Greater Skyrdagor, in the poorer economies of non-Eastern bloc countries in Western Márusúturon, Védren, and | Automotive industry in the Chlouvānem Inquisition is dominated by state-owned factories, each one selling a single or a few types of cars under its own brand.

Some of them may still be seen in Chlouvānem cities today, 44 years after their production ended. | ||

Air transport is often limited to large distances, but many small towns in the rainforest, on islands, or in other sparsely populated areas often have their own airfields, with regular flights to bigger macroregional centers. Seaplane airports are particularly common in the rainforest and by islands, with some major cities having a seaplane airport usually for regional flights and a major (inter-)national airport. Air transport is usually the preferred alternative to high-speed (non-maglev) rail transport for distances over 160 (216<sub>10</sub>) gar (about 1535 km or 953 mi), and only on even longer distances when compared to night trains. Still, most large cities have an airport, and some air routes are heavily travelled (particularly those linking the area of Cami and the major cities of the Plain and the Jade Coast).<br/> | Air transport is often limited to large distances, but many small towns in the rainforest, on islands, or in other sparsely populated areas often have their own airfields, with regular flights to bigger macroregional centers.

International flights have some "hub cities" which are those where most international flights have their terminus in. Mamaikala, in the central-northern part of the Plain, is the most important as it is the terminus for most flights from the Eastern Bloc, the former Kaiṣamā, Evandor, and long-distance flights from Near Védren. Flights from most of Védren have their terminus in Kimbahēši on the Western border of the Inquisition (still the 14th largest city of the country), as do those from western | International flights have some "hub cities" which are those where most international flights have their terminus in. Mamaikala, in the central-northern part of the Plain, is the most important as it is the terminus for most flights from the Eastern Bloc, the former Kaiṣamā, Evandor, and long-distance flights from Near Védren. Flights from most of Védren have their terminus in Kimbahēši on the Western border of the Inquisition (still the 14th largest city of the country), as do those from western Ovítioná, Fárásen, and some flights from Céránento which usually have refueling stops in Védren first. In the Eastern part of the country, Naiṣambella is the main hub city due to its proximity to Queáten and Púríton; flights from eastern Ovítioná also come there via Queáten, while some flights from northern Púríton reach Cami directly. A now discontinued flight route from Aétorá, capital of Écóteró in western Ovítioná, to Hālyanēṃṣah in the southern Inquisition held the record for the longest Calémerian non-stop air route almost entirely over open ocean.<br/>The majority of international flights, however, link the Inquisition with the Bronic and Skyrdegan countries, Qualdomailor, and the former Kaiṣamā. | ||
