Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis
The Rogue Nation of The Cruel Pirates is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by Caesar2 with an even hand, and notable for its happy-go-lucky citizens. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 20.34 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
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 79%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Information Technology and Gambling.
The Cruel Pirates has become a gigantic dustbowl filled with tourists and mean desperados, private business has started paving paradises and putting up parking lots, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, and Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes. 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 11th in the South Pacific and 488th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring 54 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
