The Republic of Purestan is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.149 billion Purestanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alsafa. The average income tax rate is 65.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Purestanian economy, worth 118 trillion rupees a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 103,192 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

You're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence, the inside lane of every highway is for parked vehicles only, Purestan's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purestan's national animal is the Markhor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Purestan is ranked 279,028^th in the world and 5,063^rd in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.55 flags saluted per person per day.
