History[edit]
Western Shops was the second last state of Shops Island to be discovered. Explorers posted a little settlement in what is now Brookelas Town. From there, they set out and went inland to create Yuri102212 City and the location of the portal to South Joseon which is now closed. They quickly realized that all wind blows west through Western Shops, and therefore out to sea. Using this fact to their advantage, many factories were built here so smoke and pollution would be blown out to sea. It works very well, and now the entire state is littered with factories. It's also home to Shops' port, which isn't very big. Most imports and exports come through rail and air.
Government[edit]
List of Western Shops' Governors[edit]
There are various times when there was no governor for Western Shops. The first true governor of Western Shops (that wasn't appointed during Ben's dictatorship) was Bro. He is the governor once more after an incident.

Divisions[edit]
Western Shops has 3 divisions, which are shown below.
Brookelas Town[edit]
The area where Brookelas Town is was found in August 2011. When Bro became governor in March 2012, he founded and named Brookelas Town for his friend Brook who wanted a town or city named after him. Since all government officials (except the president) are forbidden to name a city after themselves, Bro founded Brookelas Town and declared it the capital of Western Shops, since he and brook were best friends. It was soon denounced as the capital during The Shops Industrial Development Policy.
Industrial Division[edit]
This area was home to many knitters who made clothes for different people on Shops Island. However, Bro took advantage of the almost barren area in March 2012 after he became governor. He "industrialized" the area, and made it known as the factory headquarters on Shops Island due to its barren landscape with plenty of room for factories. It is now home to most of Shops' factories and ports. Goberna was built in the middle of this area in 2013. The City of Goberna was also carved out in 2014.
Yuri102212 City[edit]
Yuri102212 City was founded by Yuri102212 in May 2012 due to all of the recent activity on Western Shops.
