The '''Dominion of the Mixcala''' is an indigenous nation located in southern New Harren, just north of the Rectory. It is bordered to the east by the [[Nysdra Sea]]. It is sometimes referred to as the "Old Dominion", as it was the first indigenous nation in New Harren to ally with [[Urcea]] during the [[War of the Northern Confederation]]. The vast majority of the 3.1 million ethnic Mixcalan live within the dominion, making up the overall majority of the dominion's 3.3 million population.

Politically, the Mixcalan-Levantine relationship is one of the most important in New Harren, as it formed the original basis for which the confederation was established. The Mixcalans are among the strongest supporters of the status quo of the confederation, with nearly all of its leaders being members of the [[New_Harren#Politics|Movement for the Confederation]] political party. Like all other indigenous dominions, Mixcala employs what is known as the [[New_Harren#Confederated_units|"national"]] style of governance. It is led by an executive President, who is also the {{wp|ethnarch}} of the Mixcalan people. The Presidency is an elected office which serves for life. The legislative branch of the Mixcala is the National Council of the Mixcalan People, who serve in the dual national-ethnic responsibility much like the Presidency. This body is comprised of 18 Elders who are elected to staggered ten year terms based on geographic area.

Mixcala entered the confederation in [[2010]] as the most urbanized of the indigenous states. Nixcash is the third largest city in New Harren, with a population of just over 600,000, and it serves as the economic heart of Mixcala. The degree of urbanization generally and level of infrastructure in and around Nixcash specifically has grown significantly since the foundation of the confederation, as Mixcala has leveraged its relationship with the Levantines to gather significant foreign aid and investment. The high level of aid and investment, as well as the geographic proximity to Levantine culture, has made Mixcala the most prominent indigenous member of New Harren culturally speaking. The readily identifiable [[New_Harren#Fashion|fashion of New Harren]] is closely tied to the traditional look and methods of the Mixcalan people, and Mixcalan seamstresses make up the vast majority of seamstresses in Port St. Charles.
