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 January [[1871]], three more clippers were 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 Aknosheh 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. In March the [[Army of Burgundie]] arrived to conduct a {{wp|punitive expedition}}. The ensuing war from March 18th [[1871]], through May 19th, [[1887]] was called the Emirati War and featured a series of {{wp|punitive expedition}} first in the Emirate of Apfumhat, but by [[1879]] expanded to include the Sultanate of Pursat. In the 1880s the [[Army of Burgundie]] began using its newly established Observation Balloon Corps. It was during this war that the first recorded use of a lighter than air vehicle to drop a weapon occured when a signals {{wp|color sergeant}} dropped a fused grenade on a group of Apfumhati warriors as his ballon lost altitude over their position. | |||

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. | 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.

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 its 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), of the 3rd Army, 2nd Infantry Corps. 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. | |||

The manufacturing sector in Pursat is predominantly based around the processing and product making of natural products for export. {{wp|Ropework}} remains a key manufacturing industry, with a significant portion of the world's natural fiber rope made in Pursat. The phosphates mined in the country are processed into {{wp|feed phosphates}}, {{wp|fertilizer}}, {{wp|fluoride glass}}, and {{wp|Phosphates in detergent|detergents}}. There is also a significant number of {{wp|fractal distillation}} and {{wp|chemical plants}} across the country that produce noble gases (particularly {{wp|helium}} (He), {{wp|neon}} (Ne), {{wp|argon}} (Ar), {{wp|krypton}} (Kr), and {{wp|xenon}} (Xe)) which are sold to industrial firms around the world. | The manufacturing sector in Pursat is predominantly based around the processing and product making of natural products for export. {{wp|Ropework}} remains a key manufacturing industry, with a significant portion of the world's natural fiber rope made in Pursat.

Direct Cordage of Pursat is a multinational natural fiber rope manufacturer based in Clysvatjer, Pursat. It owns farms and manufactories across Daria and produces 550,000 tonnes of natural fiber rope each year and employs 84,030 people, 14,390 of them in [[Pursat]]. They manufacture rope and line in {{wp|sisal}}, {{wp|coir}}, {{wp|jute}}, {{wp|manila}}, and {{wp|papyrus}}, but their papyrus cordage is their flagship product. They are also in a partnership with [[Estia-Odoneru Gypsum, Salt, and Aggregate]] to make fibers for the latter's {{wp|fiber-reinforced concrete}}. | Direct Cordage of Pursat is a multinational natural fiber rope manufacturer based in Clysvatjer, Pursat.
