Also could be called [[Pirate Punk]], though the setting may not even have so much as a single pirate in it in many cases. Life in a [[Single Biome Planet|mostly watery world]] (or a mostly watery part of the world where the rest isn't of much matter) with distant islands connected by trade routes, ships sailing back and forth, and of course, many [[Pirate
This may also be a type of [[After the End]] setting, if the writers are trying to teach [[An Aesop]]<ref>
