The Chaotic Armies of The United Pirate Lords is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by The Brethren Court with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 9.691 billion Pirates live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tortuga. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Piratical economy, worth a remarkable 2,129 trillion Doubloons a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 219,789 Doubloons, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 882,233 per year while the poor average 36,692, a ratio of 24.0 to 1.
Epileptic patients switch their medications to whichever has a 'buy one get one free' offer, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, children who can't memorize their multiplication tables are sent to the mines, and survivors of the Great Internet Flame War often recount horror stories of banhammers and DOS attacks. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The United Pirate Lords's national animal is the Sozzled Parrot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Social Darwinism.
The United Pirate Lords is ranked 122,366th in the world and 2,475th in the Rejected Realms for Most Stationary, with 287.13444817828 days.
