The 'other' Xin as said by the Xinese themselves. Xin has for most of it's history expanded not just on the mainland but across the waves throughout Rhun and Far Harad lie Xinese colonies some of great wealth and importance while others are mere outposts.

Xin has three types of colonies two of these types are social wise while the last is military. The three types would be the High Colonies, Low Colonies, and Military Colonies.

The High Colonies are colonies of great important, wealth, and age. Most of these colonies fall within the Sun Lands and Dark Lands and a few do exist in Harad. Colonist from the High Colonies are the same ranking on the social ladder with their mainland counterparts.

Low Colonies are newer colonies or older and poorer colonies. Colonist from the low colonies are placed below their mainland counter parts.

Military Colonies have no social rankings and are anything from massive citadels to small outposts. They generally have a large population of soldiers and a small population of civilians to support the soldiers.

All Colonies are administrated by the 'Colonial Board of Loyalty and Administration' which has a councilor at it's head and keeps the colonies loyal and effectively managed. Each Colony has both a Governor appointed by the State and a Loyalty Magistrate. These positions become the defacto nobles of the colonies alongside merchants.

The populations of the colonies do vary but for the most part are very high with both massive colonization efforts on the Xinese part and also the native populations mixed in.
