Pursat, officially the Buddhist Republic of Pursat, is a country in Alshar. It is neighbored by the Levantine Ocean in the north, Soirwind in the east, the Sea of Kandahar in the south east, and shares a maritime border with the Burgoignesc island Antilles to the southwest.

Many scholars have criticized its governance and politics, arguing that it is merely a client of Burgundie. The economy is largely based on serving "unsightly" needs for Occidental nations like ship breaking, waste disposal, nuclear waste storage, and electronics recycling.

Because of these services Pursat has a very strong infrastructure compared to it's relative wealth as foreign nations have invested heavily in the nations infrastructure as a condition of the deals Pursat signs to take on these hazardous contracts. As such the country has world-class, but small ports, a comprehensive highway and rail network, and a strong scientific and research community that are always looking for ways to recycle materials and make waste management less hazardous for it's citizens.

Pursat 's government is a theocracy centered around the Buddhist faith, the Grand Guru is Khochak Khan who has been in power since we was elected by the Council of Gurus in 2023. The government is a nanny state for the lower classes but is pretty laissez-faire towards the capitalist middle and upper classes. The philosophical approach to government is that it is in place to protect the poor and give them opportunities to work toward enlightenment so it's role in the life of the enfranchised classes is fairly minimal as long as those classes are paying their taxes to support the poor. The government does not so much protect "rights" in the Occidental sense but "ensures access to opportunity". As such local government agencies are much more directly engaged with individual Pursatnis and adjudicates it's serves more on a case by case basis as opposed to on the more global concept of societal minimums (rights).
