A very curious aspect of the nation that separates it from the rest of the English speaking world is the Cookeslandic custom to go by your middle name and simply use your first name as an initial. e.g. John Michael Smith becomes J. Michael Smith. This can be a source of annoyance to outsiders who have feel they have rather "embarrassing" middle names or. Cookeslanders are also fond of good food an cooking (no pun intended) is a popular hobby of many citizens.
When it comes to religion, the nation is quite diverse, Yestarianism is the largest denomination due to the fact it was founded in Cookesland.
