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 member of the League of Nations and is classified as a developing country, with a market classification of newly industrialized country.
Many scholars have criticized its governance and politics, arguing that it is merely a client of Burgundie. Despite these criticisms, the government of Pursat is shrewd and it understands that its position in the world is one of its strengths. The political apparatus has been able to stamp out widespread corruption and utilized foreign aid and invest to constructively develop and maintain a nation of relative stability and nascent prosperity. The nation isn't subservient to Burgundie but leverages Burgundie and its global market dominance to the advantage of the Pursatni people.
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 its 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).
History
Myanga Ayil Khanate
The Myanga Ayil Khanate sweeps through northwestern Alshar from 1206-1668. It came to the modern territory of Pursat in the late 14th century and remained a considerable part of Pursatnis life until the early 1620s. As the Khanate entered a period of turmoil in the late 1590s the colonial interests of Fiannria and Burgundie expanded to fill the vacuum.l resulting in the colonies of and Soirwind.
Durvud was established as a Khanate era fortified town and port. It's famous fortifications were built over 100 years

Pursat in the current day
Government
The central government of Pursat is in its capital city Durvud, home to around 4.2 million people. The government's complex known as "The Great Fort" is the ancient citadel of the city and currently hosts both branches of the government.
Executive and judicial branch
Pursat has a single branch that performs the functions of an executive and a judicial branch. The Council of Gurus are a body of Buddhist monks/scholars of Buddhist law and from among them is elected a Grand Guru who serves and both the head of state and the leader of the government. The Council of Gurus also reviews and adjudicates legal matters through a network of local Councils of Lesser Gurus who also perform the functions of executive branch functionary employees.
Legislative branch
The legislative branch is a secular forum of tribal leaders whose job it is to consult with their clansmen and to draft and propose laws to the Council of Gurus. Its primary focus is on infrastructure, international politics, and defense over which it maintains almost complete autonomy.
Local governance
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 Gurus.
