The Colony of Blackwind Pirates is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Pirate King with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.355 billion Blackwind Pirates 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blackwind Cove. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.2%.

The thriving Blackwind Pirate economy, worth 176 trillion Doubloons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is 74,823 Doubloons, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 219,547 per year while the poor average 20,101, a ratio of 10.9 to 1.

The government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, new treatments are rejected if they cannot be explained using only one-syllable words, economists confusingly list "fusarium rot and leaf blight" as major risk factors for monetary deflation, and compassion shrinks as tax rebates grow. Crime is moderate. Blackwind Pirates's national animal is the Pirate, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Rats.

Blackwind Pirates is ranked 135,155^th in the world and 1^st in The Grand Isles of Tradelands for Largest Black Market, with 1.42 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
