OOC: This is a brief description of the arms that the Marx Sea Pirates have. We are not a nation, we are a band of thieves and mercenaries. We have about 100% of our population(we use the base stat divided by 1000) in our "armed forces". Our GPD is basically whatever we finds we keeps. This is currently what we operate, don't expect any modern or decent equipment.

2x Type XXI WWII era U boats
8x various armed speed boats
5x PT103 class patrol boats
1x Castle class WWII-era corvette
4x medium tugboats
3x heavy barges

2x Spitfire Mk IX, one converted to turboprop
1x Bell JetRanger(xH-57)
2x Widgeon amphibian converted to turboprops

OOC: 5 million pirates will never be able to support themselves. If I was you, I would make most of the population the enslaved natives of several islands who provide food, labor and new recruits to said sea pirates. The pirates could be the military/ruling class.

Arrr!

Actually I RP with a lower population, any wealth we get is what we steal, or what we trade for after stealing. Understandably we have alot of down time for repairs. Our population is closer to 500 total.(Correction from my original post, each million will equal 100 pirates) I don't intend on RPing the "civilian backers" of the group, after all, you do ever hear of the people behind Blackbeard?
