Corsair Empire - Curios - 10-01-2010
So, as title said - Corsair Empire. But why empire? There is no emperor there, so that's maybe Corsair republic? :lol:
Or maybe Corsair Federation (federation of corsair families) or somthing, where idea with "empire" came from btw, just curious.
So, lets give Sair am emperor in '86 k? :cool:

The term empire derives from the Latin imperium (power, authority). Politically, an empire is a geographically extensive group of states and peoples (ethnic groups) united and ruled either by a monarch (emperor, empress) or an oligarchy
An oligarchy (from Greek ὀλιγαρχία, oligarkhÃa[1]) is a form of power structure in which power effectively rests with a small segment of society distinguished by royalty, wealth, family ties, or military control

Yea, usually all empires are ruled by emperors, at least i can't remember something else. Empires mostly ruled by single powerful person (emperor) and usually contains (with very few exceptions) a various nations in it's borders. So, maybe Corsair Empire isn't exist now but some kind of dream to build it up for corsairs.

Turning into Roman Republic would be really fun.:P

Currently ruled by an oligarchy referred to as the "Council of Elders", the ruling body of the Corsairs is made up of the most ruthless, bloodthirsty, wealthy or influential people of their society.
From Corsair wiki.
I don't get the point of your question Curious:P

Question is why corsair empire called empire when it's not empire, that's disturbing =P

Empire is just what you guys made of it:P
The term Imperio della Corsair (sp?) can just as easily translate to "Imperium of the Corsairs". Imperium translates to domain of control.
So the name basically translates to Corsair ZOI. But Imperium della Corsair just sounds nicer:cool:

Empire definition- The term empire derives from the Latin imperium (power, authority). Politically, an empire is a geographically extensive group of states and peoples (ethnic groups) united and ruled either by a monarch (emperor, empress) or an oligarchy

According to the wiki, Kusari shouldn't be an empire either seeing as it's a constitutional monarchy (according to the wiki once again).
So why
a) the emperor has so much power and
b) why it's an empire
don't make much real sense. But I don't want to start an argument (And I don't want to because I love Kusari the way it is), because it will hang and things will remain the same. Just put it that a lot of things are weirdly done around here, and there isn't much you can do about it.
