+The earliest human settlements in modern-day Pursat trace back to the Paleolithic era, evidenced by rudimentary stone tools found near the fertile banks of the local rivers. As agriculture emerged during the Neolithic period, the inhabitants established small villages and began cultivating grains (wheat and pulse is attested in the archeological record) and domesticating animals, namely dogs and several types of water fowl. By the early Bronze Age, a distinct culture began to take shape, characterized by its unique pottery and jewelry. Throughout this epoch, the people in Pursat experienced gradual cultural and technological advancements, laying the foundation for the emergence of a future complex civilization.

+In the 9th century BCE, the {{wp|Egyptian people|Kemeti}} people rose to prominence as a regional power, establishing trade networks with neighboring civilizations and developing a sophisticated system of writing based on hieroglyphs. The Kemeti pantheon, featuring gods like Re, the sun god, and Isus, the goddess of fertility, became central to Kemeti religious life. During this era, monumental structures like the Great Stones and the Temple of Amin were constructed, showcasing the Kemeti's architectural prowess. They were great slavers and traders of fine goods all along the [[Bay of Oduniyyad]] and they were also connected into the [[Pre-modern global trade|Sea of Istroya trade network]]. As desertification of the [[Great Kavir]] pushed some closer the the coast, the Kemeti became war-like and centralized capturing most of the coastline of modern Pursat. The Kemeti dominated the local Arabs and Pursi people.
+In [[42]] AD, the {{|Coptic Christian}} faith was founded in Pursat and local Arabs and Pursi adopted it very quickly despite violent pushback from the Kemetis.

+The medieval period in Pursat was marked by the wars with and eventual occupation by the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]]. During this time, Pursat became a crossroads of cultures and religions, with {{wp|Coptic Christianity}} and Islam coexisting alongside traditional Pursati beliefs. Intellectual pursuits flourished under Arab rule, with Pursat's scholars making significant contributions to fields like mathematics, astronomy, and medicine. Pursati architecture also underwent a transformation, incorporating Islamic influences into its designs. The Beys of Pursat, as the Caliphal province was called, were very wealthy and respected among the Caliphal court.
+It was during this time that the {{wp|Druze faith}} was founded in Pursat and many of the {{wp|Coptic Christians}} converted as it was most aligned with Islam and therefore more tolerated by the Arab Beys.

 ==Government and politics==
+[[File:Bukhara by Pouria Afkhami aka pixoos 05.jpg|250px|right]]
+The central government of Pursat is in its capital city Mharran, home to around 4.2 million people. The government's complex known as "The Great Fort" is the ancient citadel of the city and currently hosts both branches of the government.
+===Executive and judicial branch===
+Pursat has a single branch that performs the functions of an executive and a judicial branch. The Council of Uqqāl (Aenglish: Enlightened) are a body of {{wp|Druze}} legal and theological scholars and from among them is elected a Supreme Professor who serves as the head of state, the leader of the government, and the highest justice in the country. The Council of Uqqāl also reviews and adjudicates legal matters through a network of local Councils of Lesser Professors who also perform the functions of executive branch functionary employees.
+===Legislative branch===
+The legislative branch is a secular forum of tribal leaders whose job it is to consult with their clansmen and to draft and propose laws to the Council of Uqqāl. Its primary focus is on infrastructure, international politics, and defense over which it maintains almost complete autonomy.
+===Local governance===
+Local governance is relegated to traditional leaders, typically tribal or clan patriarchs/matriarchs in rural areas and to elected mayor-council regimes in urbanized regions. There is no intermediary form of state or provincial government as all government services are relegated to the executive branch's network of Councils of Lesser Professors.

 Pursat as a large but underfunded, undertrained, and under-equipped military that primarily consists of the army at 1.2 million personnel, a small but professional air force of 120,000 personnel, a Littoral Defence a s Enforcement Fleet (equivalent to most nations coast guards but also with a strong defense mission) of 238,000 personnel, and a navy of 638,000 personnel. These forces suffer from a lack of centralization and have, in recent exercises conducted by [[Burgundie]] in [[2018]] and [[2025]], failed to coordinate and meet strategic objectives. The government has made considerable investments in modernizing the military but the high command is resistant to changing their ways which is impeding progress.
-Because of it's more liberal stance on women's rights, the Army of Pursat has, since the Islamic Revolution in [[Umardwal]], had a contingent of {{wp|Kurdish people|Umardi}} women, which was formalized in [[1994]] as the 6th Infantry Regiment, Umardiennes (also known as the Women's Legion). The unit is 2,740 strong and consists 70% of {{wp|Kurdish people|Umardieen}}, 25% Pursatnieen, and 5% other foreign nationals. The unit is used as a border guard unit on the [[Yanuban|Yanubi]] frontier.
