Why not both?

I'm sure there's a planet with considerable trade between the two nations. Perhaps?

As previously mentioned, the Xim don't really trade often, and even if they did, they would not trade with NAR, as they are too similar to the Federation that they so despise. You can meet either the Xim or the NAR, but I highly doubt there are many places with both. 

Nations the Xim might be open to trading with are the Akkab (may be misspelled), the MONARCH, the Ch'ak, and maybe a few others. But not the New Republic.
