It borders [[Canpei]] to the west, [[Daxia]] to the south, [[Metzetta]] by sea and islands to the northwest, [[Yueguo]] to the north, and the [[Ocean of Cathay]] to the east. Its name derives from the Huotan Strip, a large, tropical coastal region separated by the from the Tangsha (sometimes aenglicized as Tanxia) Desert by the Tai She Hills, which remains largely deforested due to human activities, salt flats, and short, torrential seasonal rains. Its capital is the coastal city of Nuran, which is also the largest city by size and population, and it has a total population of roughly 44 million people. | ||
Since 1968, Huoxia has been considered by the [[League of Nations]] to be an authoritarian state, with varying periods of liberalization and crackdowns related to the often complex clan dynamics that have a controlling interest in the economy, politics, and military of the country. Regardless, Huoxia has remained a coherent, albeit corrupt, country through several recent civil conflicts and international pressure both abroad and from its larger neighbors. | |||

All three are interrelated, with Huric being the national language and the Menzhou being the most populous group. The Hurch are directly descended from the original invaders who plundered the Tanhai region in the xxth Century, and compose a mere seven percent of the population, primarily living in the interior. Both the Menzhou and Tiauska share Hurch descent, but the Menzhou are descended from Hurch invaders and the local Tanhese, whereas the Tiauska are primarily descended from [[Daxian people|Daxian-Yuenan]] and Hurch stock. | ||
Huoxia's government has pursued a policy of discrimination against the Hurch since the 2004-2006 Jangmu War, in which the Hurch supported the Jangmu family opposing the sitting government. This is largely considered an intensification of the previous revocation of statehood of these same areas in 1982, but with the addition of laws pressuring the Hurch to marry into Tiauska and Menzhou families through business licensing and random 'loyalty exams'.

This is largely considered an intensification of the previous revocation of statehood of these same areas in 1982, but with the addition of laws pressuring the Hurch to marry into Tiauska and Menzhou families through business licensing and random 'loyalty exams'. The Eyemben have also been accused of abuses against Hurch civilians in the name of pacifying rebel groups from 2004-2018, after which point no acts of terror in relation to Hurch independence have been noted following the relaxation of the most repressive policies and an expansion of Eyemben numbers since 2022. | ||

In | In lieu of an [[Occidental world|Occidental-style]] police force, Huoxia's government maintains two paramilitary organizations under the umbrella of the Huoxian Armed Forces - the Eyemben, a militia and street-level enforcement organization, and the Yasa, the internal intelligence service of the country. The Yasa are singularly responsible for foreign and domestic intelligence operations, and generally oversee political prosecutions within Huoxia as well as being involved with a number of internationally-condemned activities such as extrajudicial killings, deportations, chargeless detainments, torture, and more. The Eyemben act more as a conventional gendarme or police force, but double as the military's personnel reserve. | ||

The Huoxian Armed forces are broken down into four branches: the Falimben, or 'The Gathered', a revolutionary guard organization with control over the major naval and aerospace assets of the country personally loyal to the President; the Eyemben, or 'The Mass', a volunteer militia and internal security force; the Kūwaran, the actual Army of Huoxia; and the Yasa, the country's primary intelligence service. | The Huoxian Armed forces are broken down into four branches: the Falimben, or 'The Gathered', a revolutionary guard organization with control over the major naval and aerospace assets of the country personally loyal to the President; the Eyemben, or 'The Mass', a volunteer militia and internal security force; the Kūwaran, the actual Army of Huoxia; and the Yasa, the country's primary intelligence service. | ||

Some of this was supplied by [[Varshan]] from 2005-2012, with much of the remaining area filled by [[Daxia|Daxian]] and a few Occidental manufacturers. Since 2012, Huoxia has attempted with minimal success to create indigenous next-generation fighters and tanks. The military operated 34 last and current-gen fighter craft as of 2022, as well as 76 obsolete and trainer craft and approximately eighty to a hundred twenty helicopters. The navy operates sixteen vessels, fifteen of which are corvettes or missile boat craft and only one of which can be classed as a destroyer. | ||
