Well an 'empire' is generally only used when something is large. So it's natural to assume that an empire of raiders and pirates would mean of raiders and pirates.

They will be large but I want to look at a list of faction sizes before I determine how large

Yeah, pretty much this.Piracy is what smaller groups do. What a group as large as yours is doing is warmongering.That's why we are suggesting that you trim it down by at least six or so digits.

Piracy does not have to be in small groups, it is just a form of crime and I'm not denying that I am a warmonger, I love the idea of being a force of destruction and crime.
