The Rogue Nation of The Cruel Pirates is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Caesar2 with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 19.709 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Rotterdam. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Gambling and Information Technology.

New safety regulations require all cars manufactured in The Cruel Pirates to be bombproof, believers must practice religion behind church doors lest the government smite them with a mighty fine, crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, and houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling. The Cruel Pirates's national animal is the parrot, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is not existent the government is atheist, and its currency is the guilder.

The Cruel Pirates is ranked 4,505th in the South Pacific and 94,893rd in the world for Best Weather, with -1,131 Metres of Sunlight Above Expected.
