Xicha

"I don't suppose you've ever seen a rainstorm, so you don't know that kind of heavy air that clings to your skin and gets its fingers under your clothes. The air in Xicha is like that all the time. And everything is as green and alive as this country is dead. The bamboo grows so fast, it might uproot houses someday. Even in the city. Like it's trying to take the ground we've built on back from us. And it's so hot, the women walk around with paper fans colorful enough to make the spirits jealous. We used to cool off by jumping in the sea fully clothed and trying not to get hit by ships. Ships from all over the world. Albish ones with naked sea maids carved into them, and Sves ones built against the cold. And Xichian ones that looked like dragons, carved out of a single tree. Some of the trees in Xicha are taller than the towers in Izman."-- Jin

Xicha is a country from Rebel Of The Sands. It is most likely the equivalent of real-world China. The language spoken there is known as Xichian.
