There is no god but God. Muhammad is the messenger of God.

The **Islamic State of New Palestine,** was a Salafi jihadist group, and an unrecognized protostate that later expands into a terrorist empire stretching across the Middle East. Once the occupied de facto capital city of Raqqa was liberated at the climax of World War III, the Islamic State had fallen back to its new "backup capital" in Mayadin, Syria. It follows a fundamentalist, Wahhabi doctrine of Sunni Islam, and has become the largest terrorist organization, and the first terrorist empire that is featured in the TACITUS series.

## In TACITUS Series

In the TACITUS series, the Islamic State of New Palestine fights against the United States of America (later known as New America, Russia, the European Union, China, and the Federation. They began as an insurgency, but later transformed into an unrecognized protostate after seizing Mosul and Raqqa in 2014. By 2020, the Islamic State had effectively transformed into the "Islamic Nazi Germany", a brutal iron-fisted dictatorship bent on taking over the world and uniting it under a global caliphate. Fearing for its people's lives, Iran joined the Chinese-led Special Defense Pact.

In the summer of 2016, the Iraqi military and their allies in the New American Republic, China, Federation and Russia began a campaign to liberate Mosul. However, the campaign ultimately failed despite America, China, Russia and the Federation's efforts. Eventually, the Iraqi government in Baghdad was overthrown in a brutal coup, with Syria and Iran falling as well, in late summer of 2017, following a blitzkrieg invasion of multiple countries across the Middle East.

This, coupled with the Democratic Empire of Korea's own conquest of East Asian countries for world domination, paved the way for World War III.

When Raqqa was eventually liberated thanks to the combined efforts of New America, the Christian Republic of New Russia, the Special Defense Pact and the Federation, the Islamic State dissolved into an insurgency, much like the Democratic Empire of Korea became a Korean Insurgency after Pyongyang fell.
