Editing Pirates of the Baltic Sea (section)

====Saint Petersburg====

With a population of roughly five and a half million residents, Saint Petersburg is the most populous city on the Baltic Sea. It is also known as the Cultural Capital of Russia, and receives millions of tourists every year. The city serves as a home to some bodies of Russian federal government, among others the headquarters of the Russian Navy. Saint Petersburg has three large cargo seaports and two passenger ports for international cruise liners. It is also the financial and industrial centre of Russia, with many specializations of great interest to the Buccaneers. Shipbuilding yards; technologies such as radio, electronics, software, and computers; heavy machinery and transport, including military equipment; chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and medical equipment. And of course, the city's many local distilleries produce a broad range of vodka brands. The oldest one is LIVIZ, founded in 1897.

What all of the above means is that when Buccaneers have money to spend, it is to Saint Petersburg they will go. As long as they hide any armaments on their boats and bring “gifts” to the port authorities, it is generally safe to do so. Many things difficult to obtain elsewhere can be obtained in Saint Petersburg, if one has enough money and the right contacts. Advanced cybernetics, military-grade weapons and equipment for the ship and crew. Even a new ship, including military vessels.

Then again, some Buccaneers visit Saint Petersburg just to have fun. No matter what your interests, the city has numerous sights and experiences on offer, and while Buccaneers can and will party at home, in Saint Petersburg they can do it with style.
