Hydrarchy

"'Rule of the Seas' redirects here, if you were looking for the ideology focused on sea power, you should probably look into Thalassocracy."

Hydrarchism literally meaning Rule of the Seas is a term used to refer to a system of government in which political power is concentrated pirates or more generally in sailors. The ball itself is used to ideologically represent actual pirates (as opposed the internet kind), especially historical.

Ancient Pirates
Pirates have existed since antiquity in the area known as the Mediterranean. An early example of pirates were the Sea Peoples who attacked various Mediterranean civilisations prior to the bronze age collapse.

Medieval Pirates
Pirates were rather prominent in medieval Europe. With some of the most prominent Hydrarchs being Vikings like the Victual Brothers.

Modern Pirates
In the modern day, hydrarchy is primarily practiced by people in Somalia which is a country that due to civil conflict does not have much economic opportunities. Thus leading a lot of people to raid nearby-ships.

Personality
Hydrarchy acts as the stereotypical pirate you would see in films and cartoons. Based on the pirates in the golden age of piracy like Blackbeard.
