Pirate (concept)
Pirate realms rely on raiding their surroundings for Income and Prestige. They run the gamut from completely anarchic communes subject to the rule of the strongest and most ruthless, to organized, formidable cartels, to normal Aristocratic or Tribal realms that merely rely on Raiding for a large part of their income.
To a pirate, reputation is almost as important as gold, and they hence use Prestige to hire Men-at-Arms. They also have access to numerous Casus Belli unavailable to normal realms, and the ability to relocate to different areas at lower authority levels.
