Line 367:

The Offices are all separate buildings located in various parts of the city of Līlasuṃghāṇa; most of them are in the central ward, Kahėrimaila, but a few of them are located in other wards (like Haifuriāmāh, Kālīleyālka, and the Kvælskiñšvålten).

===Law enforcement===

The concept of "police" (''dhurvālāṇa'') in the Inquisition is different from most other modern nations. The Inquisition itself has the powers of a public order force, which provides basic law enforcement (including religious policing) and crime fighting - theoretically every Inquisitor may carry out these tasks even when not ''de jure'' on duty. Most of these tasks, except religious policing, may be also carried out by deacons. Anyone who acts as a part of the police force is called ''yinām nali murkadhāna'' (lit. Inquisitor for security) or ''yinām nali vālireh'' (Deacon for security). Cars of the Inquisition (black with golden yellow text) are the equivalent of police cars in the Chlouvānem lands.<br/>

This basic law enforcement is linked in responsibility to the local branches of the Inquisition; generally, it is organized on diocesan (or quaestorship) level, even if the central government still has powers above. Circuits and municipalities (or inter-parish territories) have their own branches, with possibly a few distinct offices in various parts of the territory.

There are, however, different departments - whose activities are most often carried out by laypeople, even if controlled by the Inquisition - for more specific tasks. All of them follow the same internal structure as the Inquisition (branches for dioceses or quaestorships, circuit-level divisions, and parish-level ones or inter-parish territories). All of their troopers are typically called ''dhurvān'' (at the most basic rank):

* ''ūnimumi dhurvālāṇa'' — Road Police, typically composed by laypeople only, for traffic regulation and fighting crime on roads. Sometimes they have distinct cars (orange and black), but sometimes they can be found on Inquisition cars. It is regulated by the ''dårbhi flušamila'' - the Office of Transport.

* ''tammilīltumi dhurvālāṇa'' — Railway Police, also typically composed by laypeople only, fights crime in railway stations and on trains. Also regulated by the ''dårbhi flušamila'' - the Office of Transport.

* ''nāmilkumi dhurvālāṇa'' — Prison Police, concerned with the management of all types of prisons.

* ''cāṃkradhurvālāṇa' — Border Police, concerned with the monitoring of border crossings and importation and exportation of goods.

* ''šuskagli dhurvālāṇa'' — Censorship Police, concerned with the monitoring of contents in media and publishing. Formerly (and ''de facto'' still) a part of the National Security Police, now ''de jure'' independent.

* ''sarivāṇyināmi dhurvālāṇa'' — National Security Police, concerned with general surveillance as well as of monitoring threats to national security, both inside and outside the Inquisition.
