The heavy losses incurred in Gatua brought the [[Varshan]]i counteroffensive to a halt, as depleted units were forced to abandon their positions and be removed from the front to be replenished and refitted. The war on Xisheng took a decisive turn after [[Varshan]] ordered a [[Atomic bombing of Zakan Rot|nuclear strike on Zakan Rot]] in the [[Seneca Islands]]. Fearing [[Varshan]] would use its nuclear arsenal next against a [[Daxia]]n target, Chancellor [[Prib Dodd]], without consulting LoN command, authorized a retaliatory nuclear strike to reestablish deterrence. The target decided on was the city of Shimrra, a major city in north [[Varshan]] and a key logistical base and transport hub for its forces fighting on Xisheng. The [[Atomic bombing of Shimrra]] killed over 600,000 people and injured another 200,000, it also vaporized most of the Northern Command's command and control and its supplies. Varshani commander [[Shai Malan-Zar]], fearful of a direct nuclear strike on his forces and with communication with the interior broken, opted instead to abandon the northern defenses and to the retreat from the border. This decision was compounded by a desire to not be outflanked by [[Kiravia]]n forces gaining ground in the Mountains of Terror. [[Daxia]]n forces would continue operating from Xisheng until the end of the war in 2024. | The heavy losses incurred in Gatua brought the [[Varshan]]i counteroffensive to a halt, as depleted units were forced to abandon their positions and be removed from the front to be replenished and refitted.

The end of the war against [[Varshan]], concluded via the [[Treaty of Electorsbourg (2024)|Treaty of Electorsbourg]] brought back peace to Xisheng. The region was enlarged to the south by the treaty, extending past the Meroe Mountains and into the Ajaw plains; the new natural border was the Torobatl river. [[Daxia]] expelled most of the ethnic Varshani population from this zone immediately after war's end, deeming them a hostile burden capable of mounting an insurrection. The Ajaw people on the other hand were deemed a 'liberated' people and were given assistance and eventually, residence of a sort.

The region was enlarged to the south by the treaty, extending past the Meroe Mountains and into the Ajaw plains; the new natural border was the Torobatl river. [[Daxia]] expelled most of the ethnic Varshani population from this zone immediately after war's end, deeming them a hostile burden capable of mounting an insurrection. The Ajaw people on the other hand were deemed a 'liberated' people and were given assistance and eventually, residence of a sort. Laws have been enacted to settle the restless situation between the government and various ethnic groups, namely the Law on Autonomies, which has granted limited forms of autonomy to various majoritarian [[Crona]]n groups. Reconstruction of southern Xisheng continued for several years, being deemed complete by 2030 thanks to the prolific use of involuntary labor, a new four lane highway was constructed between Xisheng and the [[Zanoma Regional Administration]] to promote interconnectivity and trading. Xisheng continues to act as a vital lifeline to the ZRA of food, reconstruction materials and most importantly funds. Security assistance is also rendered from bases in Xisheng, especially through the use of both manned and unmanned drones to strike residual Arzalist pockets of armed resistance. Experts believe that [[Daxia]] is laying the groundwork for a future annexation of the ZRA or for propping it as a newly independent state under [[Daxia]]n protection in order to weaken [[Varshan]] permanently. Xisheng remains the most militarized region of [[Daxia]] due to continued instability in both [[Varshan]] and [[Alpachnia]], [[Daxia]]n forces routinely violate the latter's territorial sovereignty to pursue poachers and supranational guerrilla groups. | ||
