The Pirate Confederacy of The Calekedia Archipelago is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Pirate King Theodore Hatch with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, free-roaming dinosaurs, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 7.024 billion Calekedian Pirates are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Laspoeia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Pirate economy, worth a remarkable 1,492 trillion Gold Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 212,471 Gold Coins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 911,174 per year while the poor average 31,712, a ratio of 28.7 to 1.
The government's new "quiet competence" initiative has supporters and detractors alike reeling in confusion, the name of the "Butcher of Bigtopia" adorns shirts across The Calekedia Archipelago, nobility is the world's oldest profession, and the military has adopted a weird double-fisted salute. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Calekedia Archipelago's national animal is the Sparrow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
The Calekedia Archipelago is ranked 344,204th in the world and 3,930th in the West Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 3.59 Effective Tax Rate.
