In [[1868]], a series of passing [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] clippers were attacked by pirates on the [[Bay of Oduniyye]] 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. | |||
The war concluded with the decimation of the Emirate of Apfumhat, [[Burgundie]] recognizing and enforcing Pursatni dominance over the lands of Apfumhati, Pursat having to pay T80 million to [[Burgundie]] in silver over 30 years, and a permanent naval station and concession port for [[Burgundie]] in the city of Konyet. These conditions were initially accepted, but would lead to confrontation between the two countries during the [[Frist Great War]] when Pursat cancelled the dept and tried to evict the [[Burgundie|Burgoigniacs]] from Konyet. | |||

During the [[First Great War]], in [[1899]], Pursat cancelled the reparations debt it owed to [[Burgundie]] in the treaty resolving the [[Emirati War]]. [[Burgundie]] sent a [[Navy of Burgundie|navy flotilla]] to urge the Pursatni's to reconsider, but they refused to meet with the emissary. The [[Army of Burgundie]] formed a {{wp|punitive expedition}}, mostly consisting of Pukhgoignesc Gorkhas of the Burgoignesc Foreign Legion. They Ghorkas were vicious, and the campaign was swift. 6,490 Pursatnieen were killed, three major settlements were taken or destroyed and the government of Pursat was humiliated. They tried to evict the [[Burgundie|Burgoigniacs]] from their concession part and naval station in Konyet in [[1901]], but a subsequent {{wp|punitive expedition}} forced them to keep the pre-war status quo and accept a new reparations agreement. In the interbellum years, Pursat set about a rapid modernization and [[Occidental]]ization of itself with foreign advisors brought in from countries like [[Burgundie]], [[Arcerion]] and [[Yonderre]]. From [[1901]]-[[1936]] the country embarked on a peaceful modernization with heavy investment from [[Burgundie]] who gradually reduced the war reparations in exchange for modernization contracts for its companies. Ancient cities were rebuilt or demolished, and entirely new cities were built along new roadway, rail, and canal infrastructure. The population of Pursat skyrocketed as medicine improved and peasant families were moved into the cities to work at new factories which reduced infant mortality rates by over 50%. | |||
During the second Great War percent and Umar dwal waged a bitter war over a series of oases that they both claimed as they expanded their rail infrastructure across the Great kivir desert. This war called the desert war in percent was part of the larger adonian campaign waged by burgundy. The seasonal nature of the combat between Prasad and Umar dual meant that fighting typically only occurred three months a year when the weather was not so hot. The nascent nature of engine and mechanical technology meant that while Umar dwal had tanks and the persatney military was fairly mechanized neither armies were able to make significant breakthroughs or maneuvers using these technologies in the shifting sands of the Great cavier. By the end of the war the border had remained mostly the same however Umar dwal had exhausted many of prasades manufacturing and financial capabilities and so it is often recorded in the history books that Prasad lost this war. | |||

After the second Great War Prasad continued its rampant modernization efforts which was widely disliked by the nomadic populations who were forcibly saddles settled in the 1950s and '60s. This led to a series of low intensity bush war conflicts in the '60s and '70s against modernization and occidentalization that compiled into the greater operation Kipling. Burgundy supported the theocratic government throughout this time and many of the previous wrongs and conflicts between the countries were settled and the two became closer and closer. Burgundy continued throughout this period to invest heavily in person both as a way to bolster the theocratic government but also as a way to build goodwill with the people. And increasing number of bringing yes companies were hiring personny employees to do much of the work, but also by investing in schools at all levels but particularly in tertiary education burgundy was investing in the creation of a professional class in Prasad which had never existed before. In the 1980s and '90s croissants standard of living increased considerably as wages rose and sustainable business ventures were transferred over to persantine ownership. They are continued to be massive migration into the cities as the information technology industry and factories became a much larger part of the personny economy. Higher paying jobs were more abundant as well as the opportunity to go to hire forms of education as well as access to health care meaning that the population was getting richer and growing faster. In the 21st century Prasad continues to become more urban and has adopted a more post-industrial economic model with services and information sectors growing exponentially between 1999 and 2028. | |||

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.
