Chapter Text
B.E's (British Empire) Kingdom.
More of a naval/pirate/trade empire than a actual kingdom by traditional standards.
There's a stretch of ocean that is commonly reffered to as "The Dead Zone" and its reffered to as such because unless you were a trusted ally of the Crown(/Portugese) your ass was going to get privateered, converted into another British naval vessel and your crew was going to be forced into the Royal Navy or blown up. Possibly all three, if you're French, Spanish or Irish unlucky enough.
Basically, if you're Spanish, French, or a "disloyal" Irish person you're kinda fucked. You're safe if you're Portuguese though.
They'll sometimes just annex random ass ports and tarrif the shit outta (non-British) merchant ships because why the fuck not.
