Laws The colonists have to do as they are told by the king.

JobsSome of the job opportunities are whaling, ship building and hunting. People don’t farm much here for a living. The land has lots of trees and lots of ocean with fish though.

SchoolYes, children are educated either in public or private schools, and sometime taught at home too. Children are often taught a trade.

The children have a lot of chores to do in their families. Sometimes, it depends on the day; they work as hard as peasants. The children must mind their manners and there are a lot of them!
