@Jim: Because pirates are scoundrels and outlaws of the sea, they can't just get together and form a "nation". Besides, your capitol, Shipwreck Cove, is fictional, whereas the LIN is only composed of historically accurate locations (I know, I know, there never was a country called "Barbary Republic", but there was a nation there at this time with a very similar title.)
