The Armed Republic of Purisect is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its public floggings, absence of drug laws, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 2.793 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 89.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Purisectian economy, worth 352 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 126,363 Separats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Reporters often lose their jobs over fact-checking errors, teens are voting on which C-List pop star will be next to be evicted from the opera house, the thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions, and condos feature wall-mounted cages containing endangered animals. 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 98,824^th in the world and 1,738^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,876.65 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
