Visiting Burgundine traders eventually gained special rights and personal docks in Sailghi Iju, with the nearby cities of Nuran and Changsi growing both from immigration to the area and the economic opportunities brought by foreign technology. Nevertheless, the policies of appeasing Occidental traders created a great deal of resentment in the region. | |||
====Sailghi Rebellion==== | ====Sailghi Rebellion==== | ||
In 1893, militants attacked the Burgundine Quarter of Sailghi, beginning a military insurrection by the ethnic Menzhou majority. [[Tsu Weigia]], an ostensibly loyalist officer, later defected to the rebel troops and brought much of the Tiauska community with him, overtaking the anti-occidental factions within the rebellion and turning the Sailghi Rebellion into a war of nationalism. | |||

Tsu Weigia served as the first President of Huoxia, beginning a period of economic expansion and population growth that ballooned the local influence of the Huotan Strip from a colonial fringe to a burgeoning state in its own right rivalling the neighboring Oyashima. During this period, he abandoned his Burgundine allies in favor of Kiravian traders in order to espace the debts he had incurred in creating his state, the civil service was expanded to adequately cover the core of the country, and border conflicts with the [[Kloistan|Kloi Empire]] in the west were resolved in the 1896 Treaty of Tanxi. Huoxia did not participate in the First Great War, and after the Restarkist and Cananachist revolutions in the Occident, Huoxia began a period of transition to a similar model of radical republicanism. However, Tsu died in 1908, leaving Huoxia in the hands of his personal cronies and staff. | |||

After Tsu's death, the legislature voted to move its center of operations fron Nuran to Changsi, both for its distance from the country's borders and to take advantage of its rapid growth compared to the historic capital, Sailghi Iju. During this transitional period, the government altered its constitution, changing its judicial branch from a council of three members to a single judge elected by the legislature directly. This gave the legislature considerable power over the government, allowing it to freely dictate policy without presidential interference. While Huoxia continued industrializing, its old guard of idealists and liberals were winnowed away by age and elections. | After Tsu's death, the legislature voted to move its center of operations fron Nuran to Changsi, both for its distance from the country's borders and to take advantage of its rapid growth compared to the historic capital, Sailghi Iju.
