Okay. With that out of my system, it's time to ask The Question: Is now a good time for a new rendition of the RP? Summer is upon us (or nearly upon us for some of you!), and time is generally more abundant for those of us who don't have to work for a living. Is now a good time to embark upon another perilous, CTE-fraught journey across the globe in search of international student-exchanging, or is it better to wait a bit? Keep in mind that bidding and the like would take something like two or three weeks if we started now, putting that as the rough start date of the RP.
[/rant]
So, IESP-ites, To RP or Not to RP? That is the question.

Meriad wrote:THE COUNTRY
Meriad is a small northern country, with a population of only 16.9 million in its 151,586 square miles of majestic mountains, stunning fjords, and welcoming cities. It is a constitutional monarchy, and is divided up into twenty-one administrative regions, the most significant political subdivisions of the country. As a result of its party-list proportional representation, the government is formed based on coalitions instead of dominance by a single political party, and the government is currently controlled by Prime Minister Jans Nordvich and the National Democratic Party, with parliamentary support from the Ströstaflanger Party and the Conservative Party.
Culturally, Meriad is definitively nordic, stemming from its roots as a series of colonies founded during the viking age by marauders-turned-farmer. Despite the culture of violence that one would expect from such an origin, Meriad tends to be exceptionally pacifist, and has not been engaged in a major international conflict in over fifty years. Laws are generally conservative, and are enforced by a variety of agencies, ranging from regional police forces to the Civil Police Service.For more information on Meriad, please click here.THE CITY
Húsavik is the fourth-largest city in Meriad, with a population of nearly one million. It is located on the coast of the southern area of the country, and is the capital and largest city of Varelsaen Administrative Region. The economy is mainly based on maritime business, whether it be fishing or commercial shipping through the city's deepwater port. Húsavik is also a notable tourist destination in Meriad as a result of its close proximity to several of Meriad's largest national parks, most notably Sjoland Rocks National Park to the south and Valleberga National Park to the southwest.
Transportation: Húsavik is laid out along the coast in such a manner that very little long-distance ground transportation is necessary. Small ferry boats operate as the city's public transportation system, and ferry pedestrians between several points throughout the city. Most locations are within easy walking distance from ferry docks. Although the free ferry boats are generally on-schedule, delays can occur, and separate boats are also available for hire if more speedy water transportation is necessary. The city also operates a bus service, although buses are much less frequent than the boats. Should inexpensive ground transportation be required, bicycles may be rented from a number of stations around the city, one of which is directly across the street from the student dormitories.
Language: Although the national language of Meriad, Meriadni, is the conversational language of the country, a very high percentage of Húsaviker also speak conversational English. Menus, instructions, and classes are generally offered in both languages, and are likely available nearly everywhere upon request. Meriadni is also very similar to Finnish and Norwegian, and students speaking those or similar languages may be able to converse with Húsaviker using those languages.
Cuisine: Meriadni cuisine is primarily based on the country's proximity to both the ocean and the mountains. Seafood is a very popular dish, and is available and nearly any restaurant and in nearly any imaginable form. Increasing globalization has also made foreign food items such as pizzas, sushi, and pastas more readily available across the country. Húsavik is no different, although students will also have full access to the school's cafeteria throughout the exchange. The cafeteria offers authentic Meriadni cuisine as well as international favorites, as the school has a high percentage of international students.
Climate: Because Húsavik is further to the south than many locations in Meriad, it tends to be well below the national temperature average. Daytime temperatures during the exchange will be between 53 degrees Fahrenheit and and 63 degrees Fahrenheit, with nighttime lows plunging to roughly 41 degrees. Warm clothes are definitely advisable for international students, although the college's bookstore does sell a range of cold-weather attire should students misplace of neglect to bring warm clothing.THE SCHOOL
Nordholm College is a small liberal-arts school, and specializes in fields of study such as geology and music. It has a student body of just over 5,000, 400 of whom are international students and 178 of whom are postgraduate students. The average class size is around 14 students, although the more specialized classes that students will have an option to take may be as small as 8 students. Students who require lodging are housed in four different dormitory buildings, one of which contains nearly all international students. All of the students participating in the International Exchange Student Program will be housed in the Fjoldstegg Building, which is five minutes away from any point on campus.
Activities: Because of Nordholm's stellar geology program, students interested in that subject are all invited to participate in a four-day excursion to Sjoland Rocks National Park. National Parks in Meriad are very different from parks in most other countries, and motor vehicles are prohibited except by permit. This allows the natural landscape to be enjoyed in a perfectly unaltered manner. Students attending the trip will be bused to the airport, take a helicopter into the park, and then be dropped off with camping gear along with several guides and their professor. They will then hike for the next four days, exploring the park from a geological and geographical standpoint what enjoying the serene beauty of Meriad's untouched wilderness.
Students with musical talents will also be invited to play with any number of the school's musical groups, ranging from choruses and a capella groups to a full orchestral led and conducted by faculty. A range of other options are also available in the city and the region, ranging from guided fishing trips in the mountains to day trips to other cities in the south of the country.THE LOGISTICS
Students will arrive at the J. R. Halvorson Memorial Airport via Järnfjórdur International Airport, as Halvorson Memorial is not a destination for international flights. Students will be met at their gates in Järnfjórdur upon arrival, and escorted to a lounge until all students are accounted for. School personnel will then escort students to a private charter aircraft for the hour and a half flight to Halvorson Memorial Airport, where students will regain their baggage.
This bid is still a work in progress, so please excuse any major holes in information. This is my first time doing something like this, so comments would be very helpful. I'll add some more images later as well.
