If I Ruled the World Caribbean ...
... I would want to do a proper job of it. In other words, I would be supremely bored, reading reports, issuing edicts and listening to petitions. No more running through grottos, slaughtering disgusting creatures or hopping onto my ship and sailing off into the blue.
The Navy and the EITC would be the good guys, and Lord Cuttler Beckett would be my friend (gag) someone I would have to work with. I’d have to attend dinners and “parties” and other functions with fat merchants and their insipid wives. No more loud singing. No more dancing on tables. No more brawls or throwing empty bottles. Getting sodden drunk would be a bad thing a necessity.
No more associating with rogues just because they are dashing; right, Billy?
My subjects would become my family. I would quickly come to realize that the best thing for them and my realm would be peace and prosperity, which would be best served by fostering trade. This would mean suppressing piracy ....
What?
Wait! You can’t do this to me!
You’re messing with my religion!
I don’t want the job!
