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 I folded 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.

[edit] 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.

[edit] 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 both Lunarises.

[edit] Baronies

The Baronies Within Duchy Brookshire are Currently: Barony of Ynnraile, Barony of Vorpmadal, Barony of Dolor, Barony of K'Tzuni, and Barony of Solecism.

[edit] Military

The military forces of the duchy are comprised of the various militia of the baronies and counties within the Duchy, Including the Monty Crisco Airborne Militia. 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 duchies control. This includes the oldest ship in the Shireroth navy, the RSS Excalibur.
