Libertatia

An unlikely alliance between the pirate captains Misson and Tew, as well as the Dominican priest Caraccioli, have united the pirates of Madagascar into a single community. Naming their colony ‘Libertatia’, the pirates appear to follow a utopian doctrine of radical liberty and communalism. The pirates consider slavery and statecraft to be anathema to their ideals. They govern through majority voting and bolster their ranks by recruiting liberated slaves from Angola.\n\nWhile this ragtag republic will surely draw the ire of the European colonial powers, whose merchant vessels they mark as prey, this unruly crew of idealists may thrive under our protection.
