Where is Sid Meier's Pirates! (1987) set?
1987 video game
Sid Meier's Pirates! (1987): 2 real places its Wikipedia article names as the setting, in the United Kingdom. Wikidata’s own statement stops at the country, so this is prose rather than a statement, and it is labelled that way below. Where the game takes place, not where it was made: a game is filmed nowhere, so this is the only kind of location it has.
Part of the Sid Meier's Pirates game series
Places per Wikipedia's article
The article names 2 places. A sentence in an article is weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, so these are listed apart, never mixed into the statement list, and the claim links straight to where it came from.

Why there is no pin
Wikidata records this game as set in South America, and nothing finer. That is true and it is not a place: a dot in the middle of it would claim something nobody wrote, so the statement is left as a sentence.
This page exists because that is a better answer than silence. If a real place belongs here, it can be added to Wikidata, and this page fills in on the next rebuild.
