The Colony of PirateKing is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, enslaved workforce, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.137 billion Pirates are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pirate King's Court. The average income tax rate is 70.0%.

The large but inefficient PirateKingian economy, worth 307 trillion Golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 50,074 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government seizes the property of the recently deceased, immigrant Maxtopians are routinely sold on popular internet auction sites, dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, and the roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PirateKing's national animal is the Parrot.

PirateKing is ranked 81,032^nd in the world and 3,163^rd in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,034.79 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
