To make what this thread is about brief, essentially I'm in the process of writing this incomplete factbook about the characteristics of each of my nation's royals (for those unfamiliar with Hintuwan's "crowned republic" form of government, you can read all about it here). And I need your help to determine their prior educational background! What I'm looking for are in-lore universities from your NS that:
- Have a long-standing educational/pedagogical tradition (like your NSes' equivalent of Harvard or Eton, basically. ICly the Lakan isn't gonna send his kids to a no-name school in the middle of nowhere, sorry.)
- Are exotic, at least for Hintuwanis (the more unique the better)
- Are not averse to educating future royals of Hintuwan (so ideally no communist schools or schools that promote radical ideology, but exceptions can be made)
- Have been the focal point of a major RP that is currently going on or has happened in the past (this is optional, but still, the more well-known it is already in NS the better)
One of the most important things about a nation's royals is their educational background. Foreign schools, especially those in developed countries, offer high-quality education and exposure to diverse cultures, ideas, and perspectives. Also, studying abroad allows Hintuwan's royals to build international networks with potential allies of Hintuwan. Historically, this practice was part of modernization efforts in Hintuwan. Exposure to foreign ideas and technologies was seen as crucial for the development of the country, and monarchs were expected to lead by example in embracing progress.
I'm open to any proposals that meet the above criteria! In said factbook you'll find a placeholder educational background which should be ignored for all intents and purposes, that's just my default if I can't find anyone willing to receive them. You will also find their birthdays and general characteristics (their likes and dislikes), which you should reference if you can (e.g., Prince Romulo likes sports so if you have an in-lore school with a strong sports curriculum that would be a good school for him, etc.). These characteristics are intentionally broad so I doubt there will be any trouble in finding a good fit for my NS' royals.
Please post any elementary, high school, or university level schools that you would be willing for Hintuwan's royals to be educated in! If there are any, also post a link to any factbook/dispatch/post that describe or relate to said school. You may also specifically name which royal you think would be a good fit for said school. Also, take note of their birthdays - this will determine what year specifically they will go to your school (all of this is in the past).
Final decision of course rests with me. If your school is accepted, I will write it into my factbooks and it will become part of the official IC lore of Hintuwan. By sending a proposal, you agree that I can reference your school whenever the royals' educational background is brought up in RPs and factbooks and such.
