The Armed Republic of Purisect is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its fear of technology, aversion to nipples, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 2.798 billion Purisectians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rence. The average income tax rate is 89.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Purisectian economy, worth 354 trillion Separats a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 126,594 Separats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Wind farms are erected on shuttered oil platforms, parents dread their examinations more than their children, therapists dispense hugs for heroin dealers and cuddles for crackheads, and dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purisect's national animal is the Canis dirus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Purisect is ranked 20,667^th in the world and 550^th in the South Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,008.69 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
