 The year is 1712 and the foul war of the Spanish Succession is finally coming to an end. Having fought for years, in some cases with honour, many fine sailors in the Caribbean find themselves unemployed and unwanted by their previous masters. Nothing to look forward to apart from poverty, starvation, scurvy and a miserable life.

So, do they roll over and die? No! They do what any self-respecting freedom loving sailor desires and follow the path well trodden by the buccaneers of old. Taking to the high seas, in fine ships stolen or borrowed from those who are better off, even sometimes bought, for a life of adventure, riches and partying until they drop.
 
The chaotic situation in the Caribbean at the end of the war with all nations exhausted by the war provides the ideal breeding ground for the pirates to take control and form their own form of government – The Pirate Republic – one of the few true forms of democracy at that time, with fair elections and a pirate code.

Will this be the Golden Age of Pirates, gaining untold riches, living a full, debauched life and sailing into immortality as one of the Pirate greats or will you end up penniless and on the end of a rope? 

As the colony governors and trading company directors, can you succeed in wiping out the Pirate scourge, whilst ensuring you line your pockets at the expense of your neighbours?

The game is a historical game time but with a focus on swashbuckling and pirating of the most outrageous kind.
