Akadia, or the Akadian Empire, was the first ancient empire of Alaia after Sagiga. It was centered in the city of Akad. The empire united Akadian and Sagigan speakers under one rule. Akadia exercised influence across Alaia and the Caelean Coast.

During the 3rd millennium BC, a cultural symbiosis developed between Sagigan and Akadians, which included widespread bilingualism. Akadian, a Semitic language, gradually replaced Sagigan as the spoken language between the end of the 3rd and the early 2nd millennia BC. The Akadian Empire reached its political peak between the 24th and 22nd centuries BC, following the conquests by its founder Sargon of Akad.

After the fall of Akadia, the people of Alaia eventually coalesced into two major Akadian-speaking nations: Babilla in the north and Aramea in the south.
