The ''Muwahhidnn State of Pursat'', often just called Pursat, is a rapidly modernizing nation in southwestern [[Daria]] region of [[Audonia]] bordered by the [[Bay of Oduniyye]] in the west, [[Bulkh]] in the north, [[Umardwal]] and [[Yanuban]] in the east and south. It was massively urbanized in the 1980s and 90s and has a very high population for its landmass. Its executive is a president for life, but it does hold democratic elections for its legislative branch and local offices.

Pursat is a transliteration of the Aramaic word ''pirsa'' meaning lust with the ''tay merbutah'' the final "t" sound meaning the place lusted after. It was referred to as such because of its beautiful landscape and rich resources. Some scholars have postulated that it could have been the location of the real life inspiration for the {{wp|Bible|Biblical}} {{wp|Garden of Eden}}.

The {{wp|Touareg}} are the largest ethnic group, comprising 73.6% of the populace. The [[Ebidi]], make up a significant 14.7% minority, while Arabs, historically linked to trade and migration in [[Daria]], account for 6.3%. [[Occidental]]s, primarily of [[Bergendii]] descent and connected to historical colonial ties and economic partnerships, represent 2.4% of the population. The remaining 3% 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 the {{wp|Muslim}} minority and is also used in 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}}, while a smaller population, mainly [[Occidental]] expatriates and converts, follow Christianity. The late 20th century saw rapid urbanization, resulting in high population density, particularly in the capital city, Mharran.
==Culture==
Pursat's cultural is a unique amalgam of native ancient {{wp|Druze}}, medieval {{wp|Arabic}}, and early-modern [[Occidental]] cultures that have layered on top of each othe over the last millennium. {wp|Druzism}}, the majority faith, permeates daily life with its unique rituals and beliefs, celebrated in festivals like Ziyarat al-Nabi Shu'ayb, where {{wp|Druze}} pilgrims journey to the holy site of Nabi Shu'ayb. The [[Oddiyad Caliphate]] brought Islam and Muslim architecture and the observance of high holidays like Ramadan, during the medieval period.
 
Pursat's cuisine is based on {{wp|Touareg}} staples like {{wp|taguella}} stew. [[Ebidi]] dishes like {{wp|fufu}} and {{wp|peanut soup}}, brought by the [[Burgoignesc colonial empire|colonial-era]] [[Pre-modern global trade|slavery network]] and Arabic spices and ingredients like {{wp|cumin}}, {{wp|coriander}}, and {{wp|dates}} have also become regular aspects of Pursat cuisine.
 
Historically literature was not a major aspect of Pursatieen culture. Oral storytelling, passed down through generations of {{wp|Touareg}}s and while they still remain an important cultural aspect of Pursatieen life, written works in {{wp|Aramaic|Pursi}}, Arabic, and [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]] became a part of the ouvre during the [[Burgoignesc colonial empire|colonial-era]]. Pursatnieen literature often explores themes of identity, cultural preservation, and the challenges of modernization. Art in Pursat thrives with lots of government subsidization. Intricate Touareg jewelry, made of locally sourced gold and semi-precious stones are internationally recognized signs of Pursat. Attire in Pursat draws on [[Audonia]]n traditionalism and [[Occidental]] modernity. Touareg men often wear the distinctive {{wp|tagelmust}}, a blue veil that protects from the harsh desert sun, while women wear colorful headscarves and intricate silver jewelry. [[Ebidi]] women favor vibrant patterns and flowing fabrics, while men often wear {{wp|dashiki}}s or embroidered tunics. Western-style clothing is also common, particularly in urban areas.

Pursat's tropical climate allows for a diverse range of agricultural activities. In the fertile lowlands, farmers cultivate like {{wp|millet}}, {{wp|sorghum}}, {{wp|guar}}, and {{wp|cassava}}, while terraced fields in the highlands are used for {{wp|long grain rice}} and vegetable cultivation. Nomadic herders in the northern steppes raise livestock such as camels, goats, and sheep but due to the small scale and nomadic lifestyle these rarely make it to export markets and are consumed locally. The country possesses significant mineral resources, including {{wp|copper}}, {{wp|gold}}, and {{wp|phosphates}}. Mining operations contribute to the country's export earnings, and are a major employer for the country. The financial sector is rapidly evolving, with the establishment of modern banking institutions and the growth of microfinance initiatives with investments primarily coming from [[Burgundie]]. While traditional financial practices like {{wp|hawala}} remain prevalent in some areas, the government is actively promoting financial inclusion and modernization. The manufacturing sector is primarily focused on the assembly of electronics, particularly microprocessors and cellphones. This industry has benefited from foreign investment, primarily from [[Burgundie]], and technology transfer, contributing to the country's economic growth and diversification. The government of Pursat hosts workshops for native skilled artisans to produce intricate textiles (rugs, wool, and tanned leather), traditional pottery (tagines in particular), jewelry, and camel and goat leather goods, which are sought after by both domestic and international consumers. Pursat's government is working with domestic and international companies to invest in tourism infrastructure that will lean into the purported {{wp|Biblical}} connections and become a hotspot for Christian pilgrims and religious tourism. Pursat's coastline offers abundant fishing opportunities, supporting both local fishing communities and a growing aquaculture industry. Deep-sea fishing vessels primarily catch {{wp|tuna}} and other {{wp|pelagic fish}}, while coastal communities engage in artisanal fishing practices. Aquaculture farms, particularly shrimp farms, have emerged as a significant contributor to seafood exports. As global awareness of environmental issues grows, Pursat is actively developing its green sector. Investments in renewable energy sources like solar and wind power are reducing the country's reliance on fossil fuels, but these efforts are still nascent.
