The fort of Pinghai was founded in 1623 in a coastal region only loosely controlled by the empire of [[Ixa'Taka]]. The following centuries saw an on and off colonization effort that nonetheless spread Daxian presence over the eastern Nysdra coastline. Daxian colonial officials routinely meddled in Ixa'Takan and Chimoche affairs by funding internal dissension, providing mercenaries to rival powers and active campaigns of economic sabotage such as the damming of important rivers to disrupt crop production. The [[Ixa'Taka]]n Empire and [[Chimoche]] kingdom were overtaken by the 1860's and reduced first to vassal states and later turned into administratively subordinate enclaves. | The fort of Pinghai was founded in 1623 in a coastal region only loosely controlled by the empire of [[Ixa'Taka]].

Successive [[Daxia]]n regimes have worked extensively to rebalance the demographic makeup of Xisheng away from native [[Crona]]ns, so much so that today they constitute only around 35% of the total population. Furthermore Cronan peoples are confined to enclosed administrative units with various degrees of autonomy such as [[Chimoche]] and [[Ixa'Taka]], outside of these quasi states [[Daxia]]n culture is ascendant. Xisheng is the most militarized province on [[Daxia]], given its location surrounded by [[Urcea]]n possesions and the only recently defanged [[Varshan | Successive [[Daxia]]n regimes have worked extensively to rebalance the demographic makeup of Xisheng away from native [[Crona]]ns, so much so that today they constitute only around 35% of the total population.

Xisheng is home to many local ethnicities whose ranges of habitation have fluctuated over time; their locations affected by various [[Daxia]]n policies designed to acquire richer and more geographically advantageous land for settlement and limit their material prosperity. The Ixa'Takan people dominated most of present northwestern Xisheng before the arrival of [[Daxia]] forced them inland. Their population of some four million currently reside near exclusively within the borders of the [[Ixa'Taka|Ixa'Taka Autonomy]] and have been granted limited forms of autonomy to conduct their affairs. Following them in numbers are the Chimor people who inhabit the region of [[Chimoche]] which abuts [[Mid-Atrassic Crona]]. At a population of 3.7 million people they are the second most numerous indigenous people on the region. The Ajaw, Nuun and Varshani peoples are more recent additions, the Ajaw falling under Daxian domination in the 18th century after the [[March into the mountains]] and the Nuun and Varshani being added after the territories they lived in were cut off from [[Varshan]] and attached to Xisheng. | Xisheng is home to many local ethnicities whose ranges of habitation have fluctuated over time; their locations affected by various [[Daxia]]n policies designed to acquire richer and more geographically advantageous land for settlement and limit their material prosperity.
