Am I to assume your nation is militaristic and "Fleecing" means trained or forged for battle? Interesting concept.

I'm guessing that's German? I'm not a languge expert but I expect your nation has some things shared with German culture?

Eventually other nations would accuse Terravivus of child kidnapping and many Terravivans turned such an accusation back on the other nations, noting how law enforcement forcibly drag children off to some location against their will. Vivan authority delegated that sending that child back to the nation he came from was absolutely unthinkable and would be tantamount to aiding in immoral actions seeing as compulsory education is considered wrong in Vivan culture. It was decided that many families from nations with compulsory education would be barred from living in the Empire. The logic was that any parents who allow armed men to put hands on their children and drag them somewhere against their will are unfit for parenthood. Most parents with children in these nations are forbidden from having children in the Empire as well.

All States have already introduced this policy long before the FL was formed. While the original reason was to prevent children from ending up in 'sweat shops', we nowadays consider a well-educated populace a pillar of society that is not only beneficial, but inevitably necessary for the whole country. We believe that, at least our society couldn't work without any basic education for everyone. (Yours might be different, though - this is a statement, not a judgement.)
Oh don't you worry about a thing dear friend. I took no offense at all. You see, Terravivus simply does not have compulsory education the way where a police officer is allowed to place their hands on the children and force them to attend against their will. We DO however have laws in place that prohibit parents from explicitly BARRING children from an education. You see, The Empire requires parents to make some EFFORT to at least teach a child the basics. Education across the empire is free and no parent may interfere in the child's thirst for knowledge. Homeschooling and home tutors are VERY common here. A parent is required by law to offer the child some pathway into learning the ins and outs of navigating through Vivan society as a respectable and well educated citizen. This is very flexible and can be anything from simply teaching them at home, hiring tutors or public/private schooling.
There IS a curriculum but it IS practical and COMPLETELY applicable to day to day life. This can even be simply letting the child have free and unrestricted access through a library. There is a curriculum but that doesn't mean they aren't allowed to learn anything ELSE. Along with the required curriculum there are any number of electives a child may indulge in. The bottom line is though, is that police officers must absolutely NEVER place their hands on a child in the way that other nations have truancy officers. To see a grown person seize hold of a child and put them into a vehicle makes Vivans quite uncomfortable here and is seen as kidnapping rather than law enforcement here.
