# Pirate Nation: Pirate's Creed
## Introduction
Pirate Nation is a new type of game, filled with high seas adventure, treasure, fun, and unexpected surprises. Players collect and send pirates on adventures where they collect materials for crafting, treasures, and pirate gold! Pirates gain experience and can level up from their many adventures.
The game is being developed by Proof of Play, a game studio and blockchain technology company rolled into one. We build real, uncompromisingly fun, fully onchain games. We believe in the power of decentralization and are open-sourcing our technology so other developers and the broader blockchain ecosystem can benefit.

### Motivation behind Pirate Nation
There are core tenets we have behind making Pirate Nation:
1. **Players are Owners**: We want players to own the games they support through their play and share in the success when their favorite games become popular because of them.
2. **Games are Culture**: We believe that games can bootstrap entire communities and form new cultures.
3. **Empower and Reward Creators**: We know that players are always remixing games by creating skins, maps, and game modes. Through player-ownership we empower players to take part in the economic success of their creations.
### A new type of onchain game
**Pirate Nation is a fully onchain game.** This is a new type of game that's only possible using blockchain technology. The game and all of its functionality is running on the blockchain using dozens of smart contracts.
Onchain games have a lot of unique characteristics that distinguish them from traditional, centralized games:
* All player items, actions, and achievements are publicly viewable and auditable.
* Onchain games are "forever games" and will continue to operate as long as the blockchain they are running on exists.
* It is possible for onchain games to be able to be remixed. Meaning players can add their own features or even create fully derivative works from the game.
* Onchain games are more secure & transparent. They are enforced with the same security that protects other assets on blockchains.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.piratenation.game/pirate-nation-pirates-creed.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
