Broker has a very large diversity in the characters of various districts. The western districts ([[East Hook]], [[BOABO]]) are gritty, run down and industrial, however in some cases gentrification is common. In other districts, like [[Outlook]], [[Rotterdam Hill]] and [[South Slopes]], a diverse, middle-class population of yuppies, immigrants, businesspeople and hipsters resides, There are also districts with their own individual, ethnic minority identities, these include; Eastern European: [[Hove Beach]], African American: [[Firefly Projects]] and Jamaican/Caribbean: [[Schottler]] & [[Beechwood City]], The borough also offers areas with important uses, such as a business district and urban center: [[Downtown Broker]], Entertainment: [[Firefly Island]] and an affluent, gated, residential area for Liberty City's wealthiest: [[Beachgate]]. | |||

*A "broker" is either a party that mediates between a buyer and a seller in accounting deals or stock trading. | |||
*Brooklyn is New York's most populated borough, though in this game, [[Algonquin]] (based of Manhattan) is the most populated. | |||
