With eleven of her twenty-seven players ranked as Duke or above, some are asking if Bermuda is all generals and no soldiers.
When the question was put to him a Bermudan spokesman took a thoughtful draw on his pipe.
"Some might say so, but it's not true. It's a reflection of the strength of Bermuda that it has a high proportion of active players. Savvy pirates come to us because of our low taxes for junior ranks. They then see the generous support (hard cash!) we give to members who are promoted. It's a great incentive to develop within the game."
"Having said that, we're always keen to accept new citizens. Despite our mutually beneficial relationship with the SSTG, they don't have to be members of that Guild. Anyone can enjoy the benefits of Bermudan weather and fine rum!"
