Nettlebrook

**Nettlebrook** is a small town in the USA.

## Overview

According to a video on Echo Rose's YouTube channel, the town is divided into a "rich" area and a "poor" area, the latter of which is close to an ominous bog.

The majority of Nettlebrook citizens appear to be devout Christians who greatly value pedigree, tradition and keeping up appearances. This leads to recurring problems in town, mostly involving corruption, nepotism, intolerance, and the disappearance of several teenage girls, especially from the surrounding Native reservations.

The most prominent and powerful families in Nettlebrook are: the Hales, the Hawthornes, the Wicks, the Stones, the Graves (all 5 families are descendants of the town's founders), the Chamberlains, the Worthingtons, and the Harrises. Most of these families are also part of the Mayor's Council.

The town also appears to be extremely isolated, since it cannot be found on maps and has hardly any online presence.

## Government and Leadership

> "Nettlebrook's government, plainly put, is an oligarchy. The Mayor and his council are not elected. Only the wealthiest men in town are viable for positions of power, and, as I described in a previous post, those positions of power tend to stay in the family, or are shared by two or more families."
