''2000-04 Zuo-Huo War''
In May 2000, the Daizu, a cult based out of neighboring Zuolihi, organized and launched a religious crusade into south-central Huoxia, cutting off rail access to the Tsaka Hawa's inland coal mining enterprises and demanding recognition of their faith in the Huoxian constitution as a protected religious group and a representative in the National Body. In response, Huoxian military assets descended on the region, turning central Huoxia into a warzone as the cult brought in weapons systems and older rockets taken from Zuolihin stockpiles. The Huoxian military was extremely successful in the early stage, wiping out several thousand militants out of an estimated thirty thousand. Hurch communities in the area were highly polarized, with some converting to Daizuism and adopting a radical sect of it, leading to an immediate and brutal crackdown in the area to prevent the spread of the militant religion.
''2004-06 Jangmu War''
 
Huoxian forces crossed the ______ River in July, passing into Zuolihi and taking territory up to fourty miles inland. In response, the Zuolihin government, which had done little to stop the Daizu and had several suspected sect members within its cabinet, declared war on Huoxia and invaded in the east in an attempt to cut off supplies to the Huoxian army and quickly take Nuran. The Yu 1 Air Brigade proved instrumental in the conflict, taking moderate losses and scattering the larger but disorganized and unprepared Zuolihin National Army while the spearhead elements of the remaining Red and Purple Banners rushed back to stabilize the frontline. After several months of fighting, the ZNA retreated across the _____ and agreed, without the permission of their government, to end the war, beginning their own [[Zuolihin Faith War|civil conflict]].
 
Fighting in the far west continued, as with food from the east stopping during the war, starvation wracked western primarily Hurch areas of the country. While not entirely intentional, it is considered by some countries to be a genocide by the Huoxian government, and up to 200,000 persons were killed by hunger during the Zuo-Huo War. This lead to a crisis with terrorist activity from Hurch militants, and in 2004, the Yellow Party won national elections in a surprise victory, installing Cigu Jangmu as president. President Worekko Tsaka refused to abdicate, and instead ordered the National Body stormed, initiating the Jangmu War. Fighting primarily took place in Nuran itself for the first three months between the Red Banner Division and the legitimate government's Purple Banner Division, with the Jangmu Hawa retreating to the west piecemeal afterwards with the tacit support of the Tsaka's rival family, the Ciangiya. The Ciangiya continued funneling information and small caches of supplies to the Jangmu and Hurch rebels through the Tangsha Desert until regular patrolling by the Red Banner Division made travel extremely dangerous. In March 2005, the White and Green Banner Divisions broke through rebel roadblocks, circumventing the track-breaker teams the militants used to prevent rail resupply and taking the city of Tanxi, leveling much of it in retaliatory actions against stiff local resistance. The Jangmu clan surrendered with terms that severely limited their power afterwards, with the country's lone military shipyard being transferred to the Mahalr Hawa along with a number of other assets being broken up or redistributed to Worekko's loyalists. In mid-2006, organized Hurch resistance was suppressed enough that the conflict ended in a victory declared by the Tsaka government.
 
After the Jangmu War, repression against Hurch peopels intensified, with the Tsakas also curtailing the political power of the Ciangiya where possible and expanding their personal army, subordinating the air forces to the Red Banner in 2008. The only family to escape these curtailments entirely were the Mahalr, who saw their previously moderate holdings expand into a major house, adding shipbuilding, additional arms and supplies manufacturing, and resource extraction businesses to their belongings, as well as transferring administrative authority of the city of Changsi to them directly - a privilege previously only held by the Ciangiya and the Tsaka.

The Huoxian economy is somewhat diverse, but its export market primarily consists of glass and silica products, coal, and manufactured parts, along with a textile industry which forms a large part of the market available to smaller, independent families. The country imports a large amount of grain to supplement local food production through a state-controlled dole, as well as high-grade oil, cobalt, agricultural and manufacturing machinery, and

Huoxia is often approached as a movie shot destination by film studios, and Nuran Airport serves as a major connection point for airlines not allowed to land in Danehong as well as for cargo transit across the [[Ocean of Cathay]].
 


Economic troubles from the wars of the 2000's largely impacted minority communities and the lower echelons of the elite, leaving the small but growing middle class in relative island of stability. State programs centered on bolstering political support for the Red Party have proven somewhat effective at growing local economies, although the pace of growth is outstripped by the growth of oligarchic businesses, as truly independent ownership is difficult without international sales and contacts.

The armed forces of Huoxia consist of three branches, those being the Army, Navy, and Security Forces. Huoxia maintains four 'Banner Divisions' (First, Second, Red, and White) roughly comparable in organization to an Occidental division and one enlarged Security Division dispersed throughout the country as military police, intelligence operators, police support and advisory units, and electronic intelligence and security units. The country's air forces are entirely under Army control.
