The Federation of Roguish Pirates is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Capitaine Jacques de Sores with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 19.764 billion Scurvy dogs are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tortuga. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.2%.

The all-consuming Roguish Piratesian economy, worth a remarkable 2,229 trillion dubloons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 112,811 dubloons, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 421,626 per year while the poor average 21,140, a ratio of 19.9 to 1.

A milk bath costs more than bathing in money, tourists are flocking to the newly-built MeteorLand family resort, official government guidance encourages binge behaviors, and public enemies often walk home with spotless garments and crime records. Crime is a major problem. Roguish Pirates's national animal is the parrot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Piracy.

Roguish Pirates is ranked 6,038th in the world and 1st in The Scandalian Alliance for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 105,817.63 Standard Monetary Units.
