Old dinos like me need something more, something that is not just interesting but also very different in many ways.

The years have passed and I feel the need to move to a more secluded and more dangerous place. I want to pillage and plunder, maim and torture, drink and fight! Does that sound good to you too?

Somewhere in the Pacific or the Atlantic ocean, an island could be made our safe haven by us. No politics, no leaders, no economy, no military units, nothing but pure anarchy. You can't be born on this island but you could ask and be granted automatically it's citizenship (the Jolly Roger!) if you've proven yourself 20 times over as a true adventurer and pillager (20x Mercenary Medals).

Piracy is a one time deal. If you denounce your citizenship, you couldn't get it back ever again. There would be no such thing as a patriot or a medal for it but there would be a piracy medal for the number of raids successfully done. You could earn a Hard working medal for 30 days of working in rum distilleries and the rum produced would be changed automatically into weapons as a black market barter, to keep it real. You could never have 100% bonuses but a mere 40% or 60%, no matter what.



Pillage and plunder!

And we get to the focal point of the module. This haven couldn't be attacked by other countries but in return the pirate forces could only attack countries for their wealth (what is in the treasury, even what is blocked by a donation law) and not their land. The spoils of war would be divided equally among the fighters. The bigger they are and the harder the fight is, the wealthier you could become. We'd ransack all of the smaller countries once a week (could be the lowest limit to protect countries) and from time to time, when the bigger countries aren't looking, to plunder their millions of currency and gold! All of the gold.

How could this pirate stronghold attack other countries? Who would press "the button"? I'd go with the dictatorship module. Any pirate with a small treasure (10 to 200,000 cc or even gold) could start the raid. He would slip in at night into the capital city and open the doors for all ye plunderers.
There are many other ideas that could come along and enrich this vision.

We could even sing ol' songs of the sea for all of our pirate brethren that have fell ... overboard.
