Developing Brookshire
Brookshire did not have a detailed culture as a separate Duchy for quite some time; while some of its subdivisions such as Benacia did, general Brookshirian culture was Shirithian culture. However, late 2007 and onward saw the increased development of various cultural and political aspects of Brookshire both on the Duchy level and in the various baronies and counties.
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 and the high-intensity agriculture around Alexandretta. Although most of Goldshire's mines have been depleted in historical times, new veins are still regularly found in Lunaris.
Baronies
The Baronies Within Brookshire are Currently: Barony of Ynnraile, Barony of Vorpmadal, Barony of Dolor, Barony of K'Tzuni, and Barony of Lakhesis.
Military

The only force under the direct control of the duchy as a whole is The Brookshire Fleet, which was assembled in 2008 of the various ships and vessels under the duchy's control. This includes the oldest ship in the Shireroth navy, the RSS Excalibur.
