Kingdom of M'tzudah

"Sh'kula tsdaka ke'neged kol ha'mitzvot."

"Charity above all."

The Kingdom of M'tzudah, properly known as the Consociation of the United M'tzudah, is a bellicose empire inhabiting large swathes of the Triangulum Galaxy's outer rim, with minor colonial expansion into the fringes of the Andromeda Galaxy.

Being only recently unified, the Kingdom is birthed from a long history of strife, owing to its founding race's powerful predisposition for war. Prior to the foundation of the Kingdom, the numerous syndicates of the D'tra had little contact with foreign peoples, usually being too consumed in their own civil wars to have business with outsiders. Since the unification, however, the Kingdom has quelled the race's infighting in favor of shared expansion; a policy that has remained effective for nearly three thousand years.

As of 2950 CE, the Kingdom's expansion has stagnated due to internal religious turmoil. Although the church and state are legally separated by Kingdom law, most D'tra remain pious, and the current lack of an anointed Kohen Gadol (High Priest) has caused much tension between the government and religious leaders--so much so that numerous syndicates refuse to mobilize until holy law is restored.
