After the collapse of the [[Burgoignesc colonial empire]] in southern [[Daria]], Pursat and Apfumhat exercised broad control of the maritime trade routes and pushed their interests across the region for the remainder of the century. The Sultanate of Pursat controlled the silver mines and continued to deal in that trade.

 

In [[1868]], a series of passing [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] clippers were attacked by pirates on the [[Bay of Oduniyyad]] and blamed the Emirate of Apfumhat. The [[Navy of Burgundie]]'s Far East Squadron was dispatched to extract reparations but they were refused by the Emir Jafari Al Nasr. The squadron bombarded three port cities and departed. In [[1871]], three more clippers alwere attacked by ships carrying the banner of Apfumhat and the Far East Squadron was once again dispatched. This time they destroyed all of the port infrastructure of the ancient ___ naval station. And landed a company of marines to fill in the harbor. Al Nasr sent a war band to attack the marines and after three nights of fighting, the marines departed to the ships who bombarded the port once more. The Emir's troops suffered heavy losses but they did not have any artillery support and retired. The Squadron disembarked an entire battalion of marines and occupied the port.

The {{wp|Touareg}} are the largest ethnic group, comprising 38.5% of the populace. The {{wp|Egyptian people|Kemeti}}, primarily in the northeast of the country account for 24.6%. The [[Ebidi]], make up 12.4%, most of them descendants of slaves brought during the colonial period. [[Occidental]]s, primarily of [[Bergendii]] descent and connected to historical colonial ties and economic partnerships, represent 9.3% of the population. The remaining 15.2% is a mix of various ethnicities. {{wp|Aramaic|Pursi}} is the dominant native language, spoken by the majority. {{wp|Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc}} is widely used in commerce, education, and government due to historical ties with [[Burgundie]]. {{wp|Arabic}} holds significance as a liturgical language for both the {{wp|Druze}} and {{wp|Muslim}} faiths and is also used in local trade and cultural exchange. {{wp|Druzism}} is the majority faith, deeply embedded in the social fabric. A significant minority practices {{wp|Islam}}, primarily {{wp|Sunni Islam}}, while a smaller population, mainly [[Occidental]] expatriates and converts, follow Christianity. The late 20th century saw rapid urbanization, resulting in high population density. Over 60% of the population lives in the cities, particularly in the capital city, Mharran and the coastal cities of Misherdaha, Al Darbara, Atarayya, Al Hajadad, Abu Kasna, Konyet, Senurish, Awlazig, Abu Tiyoum, and As-Sanzala.
