===Xochiuhue and the Second Xiomeran Civil War===

On 10 April 2020, as the Empress was opening the first session of a new Huenyan Assembly designed to give the other ethnic groups in Xiomera more political power and to open the Xiomeran political process, a military coup was launched by the Xiomeran General Staff and the Security Secretariat. Yauhmi was detained by the military, and removed from power. The military declared a Provisional Government that charged Yauhmi with treason, conspiracy, corruption and anti-Xiomeran activities. Her whereabouts remained unknown, but the Provisional Government later claimed that the Empress had abdicated her throne.

On 16 May 2020, the military staged a new Great Selection, and chose Xochiuhue as the new Emperor. Xochiuhue immediately embarked on a campaign to silence any opposition to his takeover, both domestically and internationally. A series of decrees reversed all of the reforms that Yauhmi had instituted, and imposed autocratic rule on the country once more. As those loyal to Yauhmi resisted the takeover, the new Emperor would impose increasingly harsh measures to silence dissent. Mass arrests, an outright ban on protests, censorship of the media, and the creation of camps to imprison dissenters would spark increasing anger among Xiomeran citizens, leading to the Second Xiomeran Civil War.

After Xiomeran forces loyal to Yauhmi and their allies invaded Xiomera in October 2020, and in the wake of losing the western half of the Empire due to his mismanagement of the conflict and his brutality, Xochiuhue was deposed in a palace coup led by Security Secretary [[Calhualyana]], General Zinahue of the Imperial Army, and Brigadier General Sadak of the Iskirami Grand Expeditionary Brigade, allies of the Imperial government.

After a brief trial, the former Emperor was found guilty by the Xiomeran government of multiple charges and executed on January 16th, 2021.
