This is a summary of the Pirate Movement as it was at the end of 2012. Latest count on Pirate Parties in the world during 2012 = 63 Pirate Parties (registered 22, active 24, low activity 14, conflicting parties 3).

The Pirate Movement is growing. This world map was created at the end of 2012 to give an overview on the pirate movement. As can be seen from the map, the Pirate Movement is still fairly euro-centric but steadily spreading out. Australia just managed to get registered as an official party and there is a lot of activity brewing in South America.

Currently there are more than 600.000 people following pirate parties around the world. More basic information about different pirate parties (website, fb, twitter, contact) can be found by clicking on the countries in the map. All this information and some other parts will be released in the form of an API on Pirate Times in the near future.

  PPCH and PPLU atre not registered, as the definition of ‘party’ in both countries differs somewhat to most other countries. They can only be registered parties if they make it into national parliament. Somewhat technical comment, I know.
  Also, PPCH lacks the German name (‘Piratenpartei Schweiz’). and the international URL is http://www.pirateparty.ch

  PPDK var active during November 2012 on their social media sites. The website is undergoing reform, but we occasionally post updates there as well, also during 2012.

      had to divide parties somewhere. We decided to count parties as active if they had been talking to people in 2/3 channels (fb,website,twitter) in last 30 days. Thus the ‘active’ part is mostly reflecting how publically information is shared. I know that a lot is happening in Denmark right now and hope to see many news from you in future ?
