The Dominion of Brook is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Brook with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, strictly enforced bedtime, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 7.829 billion Straw Hats are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of West Blue. The average income tax rate is 84.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Straw Hatian economy, worth 673 trillion souls a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,964 souls, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Midnight pizza breaks are common among the work-from-home population, fire stations and hospitals can't deploy emergency vehicles because badly parked cars block them in, fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits, and the new Giraffe Supremacy Party is faring well in the polls. Crime is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Brook's national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cho.

Brook is ranked 326,821st in the world and 10th in Straw Hats for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -12 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
