The most prominent of these realms was the Kingdom of [[Oustec]], established in the northern archipelago in [[1566]] by the conquest of one privateer of the outlying insular territories of another. Oustec, the privateer-turned-King, would later unify the northern archipelago and push on to mainland Vallos, with his successors establishing the southern boundary of the Kingdom in modern [[Arona]] in [[1598]]. The Kingdom of Oustec would go on to be the primary rival of encroaching Occidental powers for the next centuries.

Another prominent piratocracy was the Pirate Republic of [[Gemean piratocracy|Portas Gemeas]], established in [[1498]] by wealthy [[Cartadanians|Cartadanian]] privateers. Unlike Oustec, who had consolidated his rule and turned his realm into a kingdom, the Gemean privateers went for a more plutocratic form of piratocracy, where power is shared between the great pirate houses, the most prominent of which being the [[House of Moseisley]] whose descendants make up one of the seven [[Royal families of Portas Gemeas|Gemean royal families]].

Central Vallos remained largely unaffected by the rise of the piratocracies. Southern Vallos was slightly affected, as the Polynesian states there also managed to engage in piracy, though significantly less than in the north. Southern Vallos experienced state consolidation during the period 1350-1700, coalescing into just five kingdoms.
