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. It is considered part of the cultural and economic Middle seas region. It is a
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).

Ship breaking
One of the largest industries but value and by population involvement in Pursat is ship breaking there are 8 ship breaking yards along the Levantine Ocean coastline in the north of the country and 3 along the coast of the Sea of Kandahar in the southeast. The yards in the north are bigger and designed to serve the needs of Pursats' Occidental clientele who typically have large numbers of bigger ships. The yards in the south serve clients from Audonia and Alshar and have a much lower through rate. These yards are primarily focused on scrapping the ships but the steel in particular is recycled and provides over 100% of the annual need for steel in the country. The excess steel is sold to neighboring countries and has been praised with reducing the demand for mined iron ore and reduces energy use in the steelmaking process. Other fixtures and other maritime equipment that is salvageable is sold to regional shipyards for reuse as well. As such, ships produced in the Middle seas region often have very high capabilities and facilities on board even if the equipment is a bit dated. In the developing world, Middle seas region ships are considered the benchmark.
