Mixa, officially The Confederation of Mixa, is a loose state located on the eastern continent, south of Norelva and just north of the Empire. The nation is bordered by the Empire to the south, Rokran and Norelva to the north. Mixa's capital is North Taba, a city nestled between the dunes of the desert. Mixa is a tribal confederation: a loose number of small cities led by a chieftain.
Mixa is a special case among the world's nations, as is its existence has been and continues to be threatened by Imperial incursions. Only after the war did Norelva, Rokran and Winhold pledge to safeguard their independence and continued existence via the Tabaxi Preservation Treaty Organization. The Mixan Expeditionary Army, a force made up of Norelva, Rokran and Winhold soldiers, has a permanent post in North Taba and serves as deterrence against imperial attacks, while the 1st Field Army of the RAF, the 6th Desert Front of the Winhold Federal Army and a regiment of the Rokran People's Army have bases nearby to intervene if necessary.
Mixa is a group of tribes and clans led by Chieftain Voice of the Jaguar, an elder tabaxi who communes with the Jaguar Triad, three Jaguar Lords that reside in North Taba. These Jaguar Lords are abnormally sized, extremely intelligent iridescent felines that represent the spirit of the Cat Lord to the Chieftain and his religious aides. Generally, however, the Chieftain acts as a monarch or leader figure, guiding the surviving tabaxi along and providing a central figure for the other clans and tribes in a large council in the capital. Being the smallest nation on Oras both by population and territory, it relies heavily on the TPTO seen above and foreign aid for survival. The capital itself has been moved before, north of where it previously was, to account for imperial pushes into the desert.
