The Grand Duchy of Pirataria is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, rampant corporate plagiarism, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 15.274 billion Piratarians 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.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sjenjak. The average income tax rate is 86.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Piratarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,855 trillion Paras a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 121,507 Paras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader is called 'Patches' at international summits, environmental legislation occurs cyclically, the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, and you can please all of the people some of the time if you don't mind getting nothing done most of the time. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pirataria's national animal is the Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pirataria is ranked 45,736^th in the world and 234^th in Europeia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 75.51 law-abiding acts per hour.
