Does this mean Man can become a pirate nation as soon as released, even while still a subject?

Oh you also need to be independent to use the Hoist the Black Flag decision. That applies to tributaries too. Pirate Ryukyu will have to break their ties with Ming first.
 
For clarity, these are the requirements in script for becoming a Pirate nation. Will also add to the original post:

Code:
potential = {
            is_subject = no
            has_dlc = "we definitely haven't named this yet"
            NOT = { has_reform = pirate_republic_reform }
            NOT = { has_reform = merchant_republic }
            NOT = { has_reform = dutch_republic }
            NOT = { has_reform = colonial_government }
            NOT = { has_reform = shogunate }
            NOT = { has_reform = elective_monarchy }
            NOT = { has_reform = celestial_empire }
            NOT = { has_reform = daimyo }
            NOT = { has_reform = revolutionary_republic_reform }
            NOT = { has_reform = revolutionary_empire_reform }
            NOT = { has_reform = american_republic }
            NOT = { has_reform = trading_city }
            NOT = { has_reform = free_city }
            NOT = { has_reform = federal_republic }
            NOT = { has_reform = veche_republic }
            NOT = { has_reform = merchants_reform }
            NOT = { has_reform = venice_merchants_reform }
            NOT = { tag = PAP } # just no
            is_emperor = no
            OR = {
                government = monarchy
                government = republic
            }
            NOT = { num_of_cities = 7 }
            NOT = {
                any_owned_province = {
                    NOT = {
                        AND = {
                            has_port = yes
                            OR = {
                                region = maghreb_region
                                province_is_on_an_island = yes
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        allow = {
            stability = 2
            navy_size_percentage = 0.9
            NOT = { num_of_subjects = 1 }
            home_trade_node = {
                privateer_power = {
                    country = ROOT
                    share = 10
                }
            }
            is_bankrupt = no
            is_at_war = no
        }
 
"The decision to Hoist the Black Flag is available to monarchies and republics with less than 7 owned province, with all owned provinces being coastal and either on an island or in the Maghreb region. The country must also have 2 stability, no subjects, 10 privateer power in their home node, and not be bankrupt or at war."

So pirate Byzantium confirmed??????

Well you have to move all your provinces to an island first.
 
I am incredibly disappointed that you didn't mention the third founder Captain James Misson given that he is actually a relative of mine.

You actually get Misson as your ruler if you play as Libertatia :)
I just forgot that while writing the DD.
 
Do you guys plan to add more sufi orders in future? There are many tied to Anatolia and Persia.
Mawlavi, Bektashi etc.

Not right now as this feature is tied to the Iberian culture group. However who knows what we come up with in the future.
 
@Groogy will typically Christian pirate kings be egible to become the Holy Roman Emperor? (with great difficulty managing relations or just raiding the right people)

There's some gameplay potential there if i wanted to be Sicily/Italian Minor, Sardinia, Catalonia or move up north and play as Pirate Gotland (piratland) though im not really sure if raising the black flag will be egible to all those groups but should in theory.

Pirate Kingdoms still count as Republics for gameplay purposes, so no they will not be eligible to be Holy Roman Emperor.

You're still technically a republic
 
I reaaaaaally hope to see Cheng sao at some point, even if its as one of the women of history thing, the most badass and cool pirate in history!

She's in as 'Ching Shih', a ruler you can elect as a pirate if your capital is in East Asia.

First thing, I'm going to delete NOT = { tag = PAP } # just no

Fear the Pirate Pope!

I don't even know what would happen if you did that. Probably bugs :p
 
What constitutes an island and do you have to be the sole occupier of said island?

No land connection with either Panama, Paris, or somewhere in Australia. Straits don't count so pirate Corfu or Sumatra are acceptable. You don't have to be the sole owner of all provinces on the island/s.
