Pirate Lords.

1. A Pirate Lord is someone who controls an area of the map. [Only the Pirates, not the government.]

2. The title of Pirate Lord can be obtained by killing an already existing pirate lord, or being voted on by the other Pirate Lords. [Be mindful; people don't take kindly to you killing their Pirate Lords.]

3. You do not have to obey a Pirate Lord in, or outside of your area, if you are a Pirate or anyone else, but if you are in their legion, it's probably wise if you don't want to either get killed, or beat up.

Government and Laws.

1. One person is selected to be the King/Prime Minister/Queen/Ruler [Etcetera] of a region. This person oversees the Law of the land, such as, how hard punishments are for different criteria. This person also controls the Military of their land.

2. If you kill a Government Official, this is not like a pirate lord.. It doesn't make you the ruler! it simply makes you hated by the people who obey the law.

3. People will be elected as Government officials.

4. Once you have served a full week as a Government official [Ruler of the region], then an election will be held for another person to take your place. [You can be voted back again]

The Government killing Pirates. [And vice versa]

1. If a Law Official sees a criminal breaking the law, he/she may apprehend and arrest the criminal. If the criminal attacks a Law Official, the Law Official has the right to kill the Criminal. Just because they're no t supposed to, doesn't mean the Law Officials can't kill you for nothing.
