Can't imagine it being an Asian country. Could be wrong :/

Argentina? Is it South American? 

No certainly not Argentina, women here are slim and not very voluptuous, you wouldn't be able to distinguish an Italian woman from an Argentine one most of the times.

Not giving clues just yet, just think..

Why did many pirates wear eye patches (even those that were not missing an eye)? 

To conserve an eye in case their parrot pecks them? :ph34r:

 

Seriously, because they have travelled throughout the 7 seas?, because it inspires respect?, because it`s like a long tradition or an oath?

No :D It's got a practical use. The question is, what is it?

To protect them from Medusa?, from being attracted by sirens?, because it works like some sort of compass?

To protect their eyes from irritation because of sea salt?, to make people/sailors know they're the captains?

No :P

Does it have something to do with the sunlight? 

Yes... you'd need to be more specific though!

My guess would be that they are saving the patched eye? Like, if the other one is blinded or irritated, they have a good one as a back-up.

 

I'M TERRIBLE AT EXPLAINING SHIT.

To prevent the sun from blinding them/hurting their eyes?, to prevent the sun from blinding/hurting their eyes and thus making them lose course?

No that's not what I'm looking for :D Although you both are very close.

Think about it. Sunlight AND related fighting conditions when taking over another ship. That's a big enough hint :P

Because they think it gives them an edge in battle over other pirates not wearing them because they're not as distracted/bothered by sunlight?

It is something that gives them an edge in battle... it's more specific though haha. Last hint - the fight often happens both above and below deck. Why would an eyepatch on one eye be useful?

The patched eye is obviously adjusted to the darkness, so they can see better with it below deck.

Why do companies often put a small harmless amount of sugar in cat food, even though cats can't taste sweetness?

Because they secretly hate cats and wants them to get diabetes? :ph34r:

Don't know; maybe to get them addicted?
