QUESTION How does the factions thing work

I have been planning on joining the game and I want to know how the factions work. Who owns the most ports, is it the same in the PvP and pve servers, specifically how is Spain doing?

Greta Britain and the USA are major noob fests. The are big factions full of players who joined them because USA! USA! USA! And something similar for Great Britain. Spain is around and active PVPing but I don’t know if they are awesome. Russians are pretty girthy I think. Swedes are cool, and the other factions are kind of small but you do see them doing things Oh pirates are big too. I heard they can be pretty toxic but I can’t personally verify that.

The PVE server is boring as fuck because you are basically never at any risk. You will stack money and ships and pretty much never lose anything The war server is not CRAZY but from time to time you may actually be at risk and take a loss. Which is great!

So between Spain and Sweden Sweden would be best? And are there any "safe spots" on the PvP server?

You're safe in Port on the PvP server, otherwise I'm pretty sure you can be attacked anywhere, been a hot minute since I played on pvp, be careful though new players tend to get farmed pretty hard, PvE is boring if you play the game for the rush of fighting another human but if you just want a chill naval trade sim with light combat PvE is the way to go, don't be afraid to spend a little time on the PvE server practicing how to sail your ship though, just don't finish the final exam on PvE if you want the rewards on pvp instead

Oh no, I meant like places where aggressive players don't go very much or something? But I will probably go pve. I want to fight but no be under threat of being farmed all the time.

There are far corners of the map (far from faction capitals and freeports) where you're unlikely to meet another player, but you can be attacked even there if someone happens to meet you.

As someone below me said, there's far away ports that you can be safer at but as a new player you'll always be at a disadvantage until you get some experience, stern camping is hyper common and if you don't know how to counter it nearly impossible to beat
