Xochixalli, once known as Dokmatharai, is a Free Association of six Calpulleh in the Coalition of Coconeh Calpotlin, more specifically the Ahuachapán Archipelago. It's the most populous urban area of the archipelago and ranks 10th largest urban area of the whole Coalition. Xochixalli was founded by Tae traders during the 15th century and it then became the capital of the short-lived Protectorate of the Eastern Regions and then continued its development as a city-state.

Since the proclamation of the Coalition, Xochixalli was officially reduced to a single Calpulli even if strong cultural, financial, and political ties remained between the now-independent districts of the old city. But as time went by, reforms allowed for greater political units to form and thus the modern day "Urban Free Association" was born, its borders corresponding rougthly to those of the city before the Flowers and Clouds Revolution. It remain an important trade and financial hub for the whole Ahuachapan Archipelago, with especially active Pochteca Unions keeping permanent relations with the Rahm Tai and Chongmae markets. Politically, the city has been criticized as a Federalist bastion in an archipelago that has been described as attached to a Syndicalist or Collectivist understanding of Calpullism. Xochixalli is thus both the political and economical rival of the Tehuacan Free Association, the ex-capital of the archipelago prior to the Proclamation of the Coalition and which has since then been constantly overshadowed by Xochixalli.
