On the Adriatic coast after the Great War, a pirate utopia arises, full of poets and writers and one engineer, determined to power their way into the future in a hail of radio controlled torpedoes and huge biplanes, stealing everything in sight. A grand, romantic, fascistic vision of a technological world to come. An alternative history based on a real fledgling pirate state about politics and government increasingly unmoored from reality, driven by visionaries and raving madmen. This is obviously will be of no relevance to the present.
