Historically the segregation of ethnic [[Daxian people|Daxians]] from the conquered groups living on Xisheng was something that happened organically and not as a result of a top down dictate from local governments. Certain degree of intermixing was even tolerated as a way to promote social harmony and foster supporters of [[Daxia]] from people of mixed background. The [[Party of Daxian Democrats|PDD]] put a stop to this status quo immediately upon taking power, clamping down on race mixing and beginning a policy of urban isolation of minorities by driving them into delineated pockets to live in. In 2015 the Law on Autonomies was passed by the legislature, this law provided for the creation of quasi autonomous administrative regions within Xisheng for certain ethnic groups known as Autonomies. There are currently only two existing designated Autonomies, the [[Chimoche|Chimor]] Autonomy and the Ixa'Taka Autonomy, homeland of the Chimor and [[Ixa'Tak]]a ethnic groups respectively. | |||
The areas covering these two autonomies were originally subdivided into regular districts. The law provided for the carrying out of special census to ascertain the specific ethnic demographics of districts with high numbers of Chimor and [[Ixa'Taka]]n inhabitants and authorized their merging together to form the Autonomies. People in these special administrative zones do not possess [[Daxia]]n citizenship, only a form of reduced citizenship. They have a small tax burden, may not vote in elections outside the Autonomies, are exempt from military service outside [[Crona]], may not intermarry outside their group, etc. The Autonomies have their own semi-sovereign governments and are allowed various traditional trappings of statehood such as its own flag and symbols, control of its budget and within certain constraints; police forces and a defense force of its own. Autonomies have minimal budgets allocated by the Ministry of Finance, instead they have control of their own natural resources and discretionary powers to gather revenue from them in addition to separate taxation systems. | |||

While the primacy of the [[Party of Daxian Democrats]] has never been in question in the region, local interests have traditionally been strong enough that the politics of Xisheng are more dynamic than those of mainland [[Daxia]]. The local [[Party of Daxian Democrats|PDD]] structures are dominated by competing interest groups; elections in the state have competition between different candidate slates all running under the [[Party of Daxian Democrats|PDD]]. The special interest groupings with influence and positions within the party in Xisheng are broadly as follows: | While the primacy of the [[Party of Daxian Democrats]] has never been in question in the region, local interests have traditionally been strong enough that the politics of Xisheng are more dynamic than those of mainland [[Daxia]].
