Brookshire is the eldest duchy of Shireroth along with Goldshire. It was founded when the nation switched over to the current system with the Kaiser and Landsraad. The current duke is Erik Metzler. Former dukes include Fax Celestis, Shyriath Bukolos, Rakesh Akbar, and Lukedu. Since Kaiser Yarad Ifolded Goldshire into this duchy, it is basically the seat of Shirithian tradition and Imperial power. The Ages of Shireroth describe its fictional history in thorough detail.

Developing Brookshire

Brookshire does not have a detailed culture as a separate Duchy; while some of its subdivisions such as Benacia do, general Brookshirian culture is Shirithian culture. However, there are plenty of subdivisions (most of them currently without even a subforum) for an enterprising micronationalist to develop.

Economy

The highlights of Brookshirian economy are the oil fields of Amarr and Thanatos, the enormous amounts of heavy industry around Shirekeep and Monty Crisco and the mines feeding that industry in Woodshire and Caverden, the great fields of Syrelwynn, Holwinn and Ran, the high-intensity agriculture around Alexandretta, and the naval yards of Musica. Although most of Goldshire's mines have been depleted in historical times, new veins are still regularly found in both Lunarises.
