If I ruled the Caribbean,
As the supreme overlord of the Spanish Main, I would seek to first destroy any and all my opposition. What good is power if there are no cooperative subjects?
After successfully incapacitating all those who doubt me, I would begin a scientific resurgence. Why, might you ask? To begin research into the process of making the perfect rum recipe, one which I would quickly release to the public to allow maximum rum drinking capabilities. I'd also set a special division into researching the process of replicating rum, to access infinite drinks!
Then, I would venture to Padres Del Fuego and head to the volcano. Over this volcano, I would build the greatest tavern known to piratekind, filled with the treasures brought forth, the finest rum available, and of course, the advisors that will help me secure dominance.
Once a few months have passed, I will parley to all local pirates and privateers and offer them a Letter of Piracy, which dictates that they may hunt any and all vessels that cross them as long as I recieved 10% of the profits in gold, and 60% of all rum plundered. Those who declined... well, I did say that Those with the letter could hunt any and all...
Once I amassed the wealth required, I would set my sights on the Mediterranean. For, no matter how tame I become, piracy still lurks in my depths...
Sincerely,
Your Future Pirate Lord
