Layout
Amazon Lily is a jungle island located within the Calm Belt. The focal point of the island is a large mountain situated in the center, it is carved with gigantic curved snake statues and the name of the native tribe of the island, Kuja engraved in Kanji. Within the center of the mountain is a deep valley where the village of the Kuja tribe is located. The architecture and decor of the village resemble that of ancient China.

Culture
Due to the lack of men, the Kuja have to leave the island to conceive children. When they do give birth, the children are always female and the mothers return to this island to have their daughters raised and nurtured by their society. It is a firm and influential belief in their culture that strength equals beauty.

They are snake worshipers and many of the women carry very large snakes around their necks. Some of the warriors can even use their snakes to form bows, allowing them to fire arrows.

Due to the Calm Belt being infested by Sea Kings, Amazon Lily is naturally protected against outsiders. However with new Kairoseki technologies invented by Dr. Vegapunk, this protection has begun to erode. As such, the only method to keeping outsiders from entering is for the empress of the tribe, Boa Hancock to maintain her position as a Shichibukai, and sign a treaty with the World Government for their continued protection. This treaty would be nullified if Hancock refused to live up to her duties as a Shichibukai.
