The Buccaneer Haven of The Pirate Kingdom is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Captain Henry Morgan with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 13.466 billion Pirates enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Royal. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Piratical economy, worth a remarkable 5,151 trillion Gold Doubloons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 382,588 Gold Doubloons, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,147,246 per year while the poor average 33,754, a ratio of 63.6 to 1.

On graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, school lessons are constantly interrupted by 'teacher needs a break' time, Humongo-Mart's Beef 'n Parrot Lasagne is a hit, and the The Pirate Kingdom Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon'. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Pirate Kingdom's national animal is the Parrot, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Voodoo.

The Pirate Kingdom is ranked 287^th in the world and 2^nd in Greater Brutesia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 32,614.34 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
