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.

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. | ||
