The Tarn Empire is the Tarn state.
History
Sometime prior to 2162, the Tarn fought a brief brush war with the Klingons, and then (following first contact in the early 2160s) with the Federation. The latter brief, undeclared war ended in a 2164 armistice that left most of the original issues and conflicts unresolved.
Between 2165 and 2367, the Tarn were almost completely isolated on the galactic stage by the Tarn Neutral Zone, which forbade entry by ships from either side, limited interstellar commerce, and severely curtailed Tarn expansion.
In 2367, long-standing negotiations secured the opening of the neutral zone, but also reopened the issues left unanswered by the original cease-fire.
Despite two centuries of (enforced) isolation, many Tarn still believe that ruling the galaxy is their manifest destiny. While the Tarn Empire is not currently expansionist, their internal politics are unstable at best. For the moment, the Tarn seem content to establish new diplomatic and economic ties—though the official policy may change as quickly as the Ruling Circle's perceived self-interest.
Government
The Tarn government is led by the First Circle (part of the larger Royal Family) and governed by the Council of Circles, which functions as an hereditary parliament or legislature.
Competition within and between these groups is never-ending, and intrigue (economic, political, and personal) are endemic, vicious, and Machiavellian. Government policy is less-often determined by what is wisest or most-productive than by the machinations of the various politicians and circles based upon their own immediate self-interest.
