[HELP] popless faction

[Dutch Vader]

I wanted to make a pirate mod. I wanted to use a faction to represent the strength(support) of the pirates and i also wanted to use the effects functionality to spawn events.

I am able to create a faction. The problem is that I dont want it to have any members, but the faction always gets deleted if it doesnt have any pops belonging to it. Is there a way to keep a faction alive if it doesnt have any pops belonging to it?


Thanks

Why not just give it a pop of one and have it not grow, based off how having a slave creates a faction?

That's what im doing currently, the problem is that those pops can be enslaved or purged which would kill the faction.

To be fair, those do seem like lore-friendly means by which someone might resolve the issue of pirates.
