The Liberi

Libertatia (also known as Libertalia) was a legendary country, or free colony, forged by pirates, under the leadership of Captain Misson in the late 1600s. It is said to have consisted of an enclave within south Madagascar and lasted for about twenty five years. Thomas Tew, the Provenal Misson and an Italian Dominican priest Caraccioli were involved in founding it. The Pirate Utopia's motto was "for God and liberty," and its flag was white, in contrast to a Jolly Roger. They were libertarian, waging war against oppressive states and lawmakers, attacking their ships, sparing prisoners, and freeing slaves. They called themselves Liberi, and held many principles of anarchism, and lived under a communal city rule, a sort of worker owned corporation of piracy. They had pirate articles, (shared codes of conduct), and used elected systems of re-callable delegates. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
