'''Daxian''': For political purposes, the Canpei government separated part of its population fron the main Zuiyuan group after independence. Those whose descent did not go back far enough in time were barred from self-identifying as Zuiyuan and therefore had less standing before the state. This system of tiered citizenship eventually became intolerable for Daxian on both sides of the border, leading to the collapse of the post-independence government by armed force. Today Daxian are just over 20% of the population, have equal standing to other ethnic groups and due to their connections to [[Daxia]], are a very significant economic and political force. | '''Daxian''': For political purposes, the Canpei government separated part of its population fron the main Zuiyuan group after independence.
