About the animals: The goose of Liberty was the first inhibitor of these two isles land while the killer catfish of love being the first sea dweller, Humans soon settled in these two paradises where they nearly drove the goose of Liberty to extinction! This is when something extraordinary happened which earned the Goose its title. One of the ten remaining geese was one day building a nest when a hunter came by. Upon meeting the hunter instead of flying away the bird simply said "change your ways, you have been warned". The hunter shot the bird and took his catch home to his wife. He told his estranged story to her and she replied "It's only a bird, what difference could it make?". Little did she no how wrong she was! The next day the same happened with another hunter, and another until there was one last goose. The hunter who had shot the first of the remaining ten walked up. "Suppose your gonna give me another bloody lecture" the man rudely quoted. The goose once again said "change your ways, you have been warned!". The next day the whole of Shaskinakara was under plague except for one man. Every one desperately ran to the man seeking help but the man merely said "you were warned." He then turned around and flew away! The next day the plague was gone and 10 geese had once again returned. After this incident Hunting the Geese was made illegal and the government decided to call it the Goose of Liberty after Liberating the once corrupt people of Shaskinakara!

EducationEducation in Shaskinakara and Tuckerani is exactly the same with very similar results. Education is compulsory up until the age of 19 though the content of it varies depending on the academy they attend. This usually results in a well educated, though slightly rebellious, youth. Youth Crime is incredibly small prover by nationstates summary
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare.
A lot of people see education as tuckerakara's strongest point. 30% of Tuckerani's 20 million population's taxes go into this and 25% of Shaskinakara. As taxes are low in Tuckerani the education system is seen as very sufficient on such a low budget!
