Pirates of the Burning Sea depicts Port Royal as an earthquake-damaged settlement while continuing to use it as Britain's Caribbean administrative centre. The historical objection concerns the continuing location of government after the disaster. A damaged port would need repair or replacement before serving as a suitable base for a senior governor and naval administration. Kingston is identified as the replacement in the exchange. Its royal name also prompts a joke about continuity in British naming habits. The game's treatment of disaster damage raises a practical question about where administration could continue to function.
