The State of Holy Tal'Akdar (Tal'Akdari: ; tr. Dōs Tsār Tal'Akdār), also known as Tal'Akdar, is an absolute martial theocracy located in the galactic east of Núlne. Tal'Akdar is one of the largest states, spanning 22 solar systems and has a total population of 87.65 billion. Tal'Akdar in the Tsryn-Dal System acts as capital.
The modern Tal'Akdari state was formed in -300 PA with the discovery of a colossal crashed alien vessel in the Sandazan Depression on Tal'Akdar, by a group of archeologists contracted by the Tal'Akdari religious authorities to search for religious artifacts. The crashed vessel was found to be in good enough condition for rapid reverse-engineering, which the Tal'Akdari religious authorities used to secure global unification under a theocratic regime.
In wake of global unification and the reverse engineering of the crashed vessel, the Tal'Akdari experience a dramatic advancement in technology, culture, sociology and the economy. Within a decade of the Joyous Miracle, the chronic shortages of food, declining resources and over-population were solved either through domestic technological innovations or through the successful colonisation of Tal'Akdar's two moons of Sar and Akdar-Turim. By -250 PA, the Tal'Akdari had expanded across the entire solar system, which resulted in the discovery of the Windway. In -200 PA, the Tal'Akdari tested their first successful faster-than-light drive utilising the wind way phenomenon, in what is considered to be the climax of the Resplendent Ascendance period.
From -200 PA until the ascendance of the Tal'Akdari state into the Interstellar Assembly, the Tal'Akdari would rapidly expand beyond their home-system, launching multiple colonisation efforts of neighbouring systems, as well as using force to conquer or absorb primitive species, sparking the Age of Blessed Prosperity. However, this period also saw instances of instability, civil strife and colonial agitations. In 39 PA, the Tal'Akdari made first contact with the XX, an Assembly-member race, within two-years the Holy State had become a fully-fledged member of the Interstellar Assembly, unleashing a new wave of trade, cultural opening and diplomacy.
As a near-totalitarian absolute theocracy, Tal'Akdar has an often troubled relationship with the Assembly, though in recent decades its involvement has rapidly grown, parallel to its economy, military strength and technological advancement.

According to Tal'Akdari historiography, the High-Modern period began with the advent of the industrial revolution in the state of Calamdyr in -524 PA. Over the next few decades, industrialisation would spread rapidly across the southern hemisphere of Tal'Akdar. The resulting innovations in technology, medicine, food production and transportation resulted in a population boom that would last up until -321 PA.
The discovery of fossil fuels in -434 dramatically enhanced the level of technological advancement and economic change. Across much of Tal'Akdar, entire societies were transitioning from feudal agrarianism toward capitalistic industrialism, leading to the rise of science and the nascent but steady decline in the power of religion. This discovery of valuable fossil fuels propelled expansionism and colonialism, with Calamdyr and Gereydah utilising their access to the Great Water ocean to spread across continents, while Rezedar, using its immense population, expanded dramatically between -411 PA and -388 PA to dominate the northern hemisphere.
By -365 PA, tensions between the major powers over resources and territory erupted into the trilateral war known as the War of the Three Emperors, the war would see extensive devastation on a global scale, including the use of atomic weapons by Calamdyr against Rezedar. Ultimately, Calamdyr would emerge victorious and become the global superpower. The conflict left over 80 million dead and millions more displaced.
Following reconstruction, Tal'Akdar experienced a lengthy period of peace, stability and prosperity. Technological innovations brought about by the war continued steadily, however, the level of industrialisation, the mass consumption of resources and the post-war population boom laid the foundations of the period known as the Arduous Trial. Between -355 PA and -330 PA, Tal'Akdar's population exploded from 3.4 billion to 8.91 billion.
In -329 PA, a series of political uprisings and revolutions across the southern hemisphere, saw the domination of Calamdyr collapse and the emergence of a multi-polar world. These events would prove devastating in the years to come as renewed global tensions, exacerbated by the effects of the Arduous Trial, only weakened global cooperation in confronting the global crisis to come.
