===Thuldan Empire===

Predominant Species: Overwhelming Human majority; widespread use of genetic manipulation including Half-Elf and Half-Orc minorities

The Thuldan Empire was the creation of mogul Gregor Kent, to realize his vision of a manifest destiny for Golarians in the stars.  However what they consider patriotic zeal is regarded by most other nations as brazen imperialism.  The Thuldans make no effort to conceal or moderate their desire to unite space under one rule, and most historians blame them for instigating the Tau Ceti riots which initiated the Second Galactic War.  

Despite their belligerent tendencies, the Thuldan Empire is by far the most tolerant nation with regards to human mutants and half-human hybrids.  Half-elves and half-orcs face no discrimination in the empire, and there are no taboos about biotech.  Imperial geneticists are the undisputed masters of biological manipulation, and this is reflected in the strong, healthy Thuldan populace.  

Thuldan society is direct and unsophisticated.  Their education is militarized, and their culture favors contests of physical prowess over more enlightening forms of entertainment.  Many Thuldans are irreligious, although roughly a quarter follow the Hatire faith and their numbers continue to grow.  Hatire missionaries have carefully preached an interpretation of their faith that emphasizes the virtues of effort and rejecting decadence, while minimizing any criticisms of genetic manipulation.
