Editing Pirates of the Baltic Sea (section)

====Kiel====

Kiel has a population of 250 000 and due to its geographic location in the southeast of the Jutland peninsula on the southwestern shore of the Baltic Sea, has become one of Germany's major maritime centres. Kiel has also been one of the traditional homes of the German Navy's Baltic fleet, and continues to be a major high-tech shipbuilding centre. Kiel is an important sea transport hub, thanks to its location on the Kiel Fjord, and the busiest artificial waterway in the world, Kiel Canal, connecting Baltic Sea with the North Sea.

While Kiel is a leading centre of German high-tech military and civil shipbuilding, the strong presence of German Navy means that most Buccaneers in search of advanced ship upgrades will visit Rostock instead, although daring exceptions have happened. Most of the time when Buccaneers need to brave the German authorities at Kiel, it is to gain access to the canal.
