The Confederacy of Republic of Pirates is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its frequent executions and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.099 billion Pirates hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 9.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Pirate economy, worth 65.9 trillion Doubloons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 60,006 Doubloons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Armed security details escort librarians to their homes, citizens cannot change their light bulbs without approval from an international committee, citizens tint their front windows to avoid starring in the 'TV Detector Patrol Unit' documentary, and criminals are thrown to the Parrots to repay their debt to society. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Republic of Pirates's national animal is the Parrot, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Republic of Pirates is ranked 222,148^th in the world and 2^nd in Kavonian Special Operations Division for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -3.74 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
