	As time went on, it became clear that Xiomera needed a more diverse set of offerings for its institutions of higher education. Towards the end of her reign, in 1889, Camaxtica launched the other tier of Xiomeran universities, the Imperial University System of Xiomera. The Xiomeran higher educational system was reorganized much along the lines of the the ''calmecac'' and the ''telpochcalli''. The Polytechnic Universities became the upper tier of the Xiomeran higher education system, and the Imperial University System a more "accessible" level of education for those who could not gain admittance to the Polytechnics.

	Today, the nine Xiomeran Polytechnic Universities serve as the pinnacle of Xiomeran education, with an acceptance rate between 4% to 9% of applicants, depending on the institution. The Polytechnics, unlike the Imperial University System, charge for admission, and the cost per school year is not cheap - averaging between 63,000 and 75,000 quetzals per year, again depending on the institution. The Polytechnics, despite their misleading name, no longer focus solely on churning out engineers or training workers. They instead provide an exceptionally broad and high-quality education across all fields, and are often seen as the ticket to admission to the higher echelons of Xiomeran political, social and business life. There has been some discussion by leaders of these institutions about dropping the "polytechnic" title, but tradition, history and affection for the name from alumni have prevented that thus far.

	By contrast, the 200 Imperial University System institutions are open admission~~, and do not charge students to attend~~. While their lower status has led to some disdain for degrees from IUS institutions among the elite, the far greater accessibility to a college education through the IUS institutions has been a major driving force behind the high levels of literacy (97.9% literacy rate), college completion (55.5% graduation rate), and overall education and learning among the Xiomeran populace as a whole. IUS institutions offer both 2 and 4 year degrees, and thus serve both as a form of community college and full-fledged university for most Xiomerans.

	==Religion==		==Religion==

	Xiomera tends to be a secular nation, with 67.2% of the population identifying as non-religious. Of those Xiomerans that do follow a specific faith, the breakdown is as follows: 23.9% indigenous Huenyan religion; 3.2% Christianity; 1.5% Islam; 1.4% Buddhism; 1.1% Hinduism; 1.0% Judaism; 0.6% Other. While most Xiomerans no longer follow a religious path, the indigenous Huenyan religion still serves as a source of legitimacy and authority within Xiomeran society. The indigenous Huenyan religion also still serves as a source of cultural identity and pride within Xiomeran society, with even many "non-religious" Xiomerans still believing at least some aspects of it.		Xiomera tends to be a secular nation, with 67.2% of the population identifying as non-religious. Of those Xiomerans that do follow a specific faith, the breakdown is as follows: 23.9% indigenous Huenyan religion (Teotzin); 3.2% Christianity; 1.5% Islam; 1.4% Buddhism; 1.1% Hinduism; 1.0% Judaism; 0.6% Other.

	The Huenyan indigenous faith is a polytheistic religion based around a pantheon of major and minor deities. The most significant deities are Tlaloc (rain god, deity of water); Quetzalcoatl (god of wind, the link between the earth and the sky), Tezcatlipoca (deity of cosmic struggle) and Huītzilōpōchtli (deity of the sun, and god of war). Huītzilōpōchtli serves as the preeminent deity in the Huenyan religion and is also linked to the Xiomeran ruling lineage. Any Xiomeran Emperor or Empress must be seen as having the "mandate of Huītzilōpōchtli" in order to rule.

	In most other respects, the Xiomeran legal system is similar to other countries. Double jeopardy is not allowed, trials are required to occur in a timely fashion, and the accused have the right to have attorneys assist them. All cases are tried publicly, and under oath. The main difference from other countries is that trial by jury does not exist in Xiomera.		In most other respects, the Xiomeran legal system is similar to other countries.

			== Citizens vs. Residents ==
			Xiomera maintains a two-tier system of citizenship that divides those residing in the Empire into two classes: Citizens and Residents.

			Citizens are those Xiomerans who enjoy the privileges of full Imperial citizenship. This includes the right to vote, to hold public office, and to hold government positions. This also includes access to the free healthcare and college education that are guaranteed by the Empire. Citizens also enjoy a lower income tax rate, at an average of ten percent.

			By contrast, Residents are only guaranteed the basic civil and legal rights the Imperial government chooses to afford them. They are not allowed to vote, hold any public office, or hold any government job or position. They are not granted free healthcare or college education, and pay standard tax rates.

			Being convicted of a political crime, or a crime against the state, renders someone permanently ineligible for Citizen status. In addition, being a repeat criminal offender (regardless of offense) also renders someone permanently ineligible for Citizen status.

			Xiomerans are assessed yearly by the Imperial Citizenship, Nationalization and Immigration Agency (ICNA) on their birth date to determine their citizenship status. They are graded on a 100-point scale known as the ICNA Rating. Factors that raise one's grade include their ISBR rating, prior or current military service, documented history of successful entrepreneurship or business participation, membership in the Xiomeran Citizens' Party, history of national or other community service, and assessments from the Ministry of Loyalty. Recommendations from XCP leaders, military or police officials, religious leaders of the Teotzin, elected officials and Imperial ministerial figures are also considered as part of the overall process.

			== Social Credit Score ==
			While the Ministry of Security takes the lead in determining citizenship status, the Ministry of Loyalty handles another aspect of how Xiomerans are assessed as "good" or "bad" citizens. The Ministry, working with Xiomera's Information Security Technology Corporation (ISTC), administers the Imperial Social Behavior Rating (ISBR) assigned to each person in the Empire. Colloquially known as the "social credit score", the ISBR is a centralized collection of local, district and nationwide data, amalgamated into an overall rating. Financial and criminal records are used to determine the ISBR. Records of voting and civic participation, social media data, and even spending patterns and shopping trends are also assessed as part of the ISBR. The ISBR, like the ICNA Rating, is on a 100-point scale. A high ISBR affords Xiomerans preferred status for public and financial services, discounts and tax breaks. A low ISBR can result in restrictions on public services and credit, travel restrictions, and public shaming on the Ministry of Security "ISBR Warning List". The ICNA Rating and the ISBR are often used together to provide public and private entities alike an overall assessment of a Xiomeran's "trustworthiness".

	The Xiomeran economy is dominated by massive industrial conglomerates known as ''necuiltonolli''. These huge corporations often have highly complex, interlocking business relationships which make it extremely hard to ever break them up or regulate them. Xiomeran governments, for the most part, engage in little to no oversight of the business community, believing in a mantra of "totally free trade". The Second Xiomeran Civil War was sparked, in part, by the efforts of the Empress Yauhmi to begin more closely regulating, and taxing, the Xiomeran business community. More recently, the souring trade relations between Xiomera and other nations in the aftermath of ~~Emperor Xochiuhue~~'s rise to power have begun to alarm some Xiomeran businesspeople.

	Lōpoch was determined that his conquest, unlike those of Quiauhticue and Achcauhyotl, would succeed. He had an advantage his predecessors did not: the modern army, equipped with rifles and field artillery, and the supporting warships of the modern navy built by Camaxtica during her long reign. In previous battles, the Xiomeran and Manabí forces had been roughly equal in technology and tactics. During Lōpoch's Expansion, the situation was severely unequal, in favor of the Xiomerans. The Manabí, still using weapons and tactics of an earlier age, stood no chance against the Imperial Army and Imperial Navy. Within six months, Manabí Rive was firmly under Xiomeran rule. Neighboring Cenotillo Island was also annexed a year later.		Lōpoch was determined that his conquest, unlike those of Quiauhticue and Achcauhyotl, would succeed.

[[Manabí Rive]], to the south of Huenya, was a conquest that Xiomeran Emperors had often dreamed of, but failed to accomplish. The Emperor Quiauhticue launched an invasion of Manauia Island in 1389; the Emperor Achcauhyotl would try again, in 1820. Both invasions would fail as the inhabitants of Manabí Rive fought fiercely and refused to bend the knee to overlords in distant Tlālacuetztla.

	Lōpoch was determined that his conquest, unlike those of Quiauhticue and Achcauhyotl, would succeed. He had an advantage his predecessors did not: the modern army, equipped with rifles and field artillery, and the supporting warships of the modern navy built by Camaxtica during her long reign. In previous battles, the Xiomeran and Manabí forces had been roughly equal in technology and tactics. During Lōpoch's Expansion, the situation was severely unequal, in favor of the Xiomerans. The Manabí, still using weapons and tactics of an earlier age, stood no chance against the Imperial Army and Imperial Navy. Within six months, Manabí Rive was firmly under Xiomeran rule. Neighboring Cenotillo Island was also annexed a year later.		Lōpoch was determined that his conquest, unlike those of Quiauhticue and Achcauhyotl, would succeed.
