In the 1.28 patch a big deal was made about Pirate Nations. But we only got a handful of them. Gotland, if it achieves independence, should become a pirate nation. Or start it as an independent pirate republic and hard code Denmark to declare war as soon as the month of peace ends. Give it a few missions alongside the pirate nation missions, conquering the Danish Isles for example, or having privateering in far away nodes such as Chesapeake, Genoa, or Alexandria.
Secondly, the nation of Habsan. This Amharic cultured nation spawns in India. They are freed African slaves who take over a province and offer to be your vassals. They were even called Pirates by the eevs during the Dharma Dev Clash, so their lack of representation as such is upsetting! Give them a few missiond alongside the pirate tree such as conquering Hormuz, and reclaiming Amharic lands in Africa by way of the Horn. You could even give them an achievement called "I am the captain now!" for conquering Somalia.
These two nations would add Pirate republics to two regions that lack them. Europe would gain a pirate nation right off the bat, and it would add the rather unique government type to the most played region by far. While Palembang is fascinating history and encourages many to play a rarely played region, a second 1444 pirate nation would be great, and it being in the most fleshed out region is even better! Habsan would give more depth to the Arabian sea and would be a natural threat to Hormuz, Oman, Gujarat, or any Trade Companies tagt show up. And the idea of a campaign to rule the Arabian Sea as a group of galley slaves turned pirates is great! Begining as a Vassal Pirate Republic isia very unique start, as you would be forced to provide your land forces to your liege, all while you could be using your Navy for your own devices! Plus, they would be played often as they are a nation with a clear objective, conquer back to Amharic lands to reunite with your people. This is an achievement waiting to happen! Like the other late spawners, they would be given "A Pirate's Life for Me!" To make playing them easier. Finally Habsan provides a natural Indian Ocean Pirate Rival for Libertalia, and the dynamic between the two would make for great multiplayer campaigns.
