So, what are the top ranked universities in your nation?

[Furina]

Furina’s top university by ranking is The Universal University; a catch-all higher education establishment for all ages, offering just about every subject you can think of. The main reason it’s the top university is that it’s the other one is a right shithole and two thirds of it is closed down.

[Eubatu]

Eubatu has many strong universities, but most are general subject specific. So, an Engineering University, A Science and Medicine University, University for Environment, A Teaching and National Relations University, and an Arts, Music and History University.

[Madrinet]

Madrinet has had a tradition of nurturing education since the medieval period, and the great universities of Madrinet have their origins in the middle ages. The top-ranked university, however, is a relatively modern one; established in 1773, the University of Clarault (officially known as Amadeus Augustus University of Clarault) has a reputation for maintaining the Enlightenment values which it was established (by the eponymous Amadeus, Duke of Madrinet) to promote. The University has a reputation for training the Madrinetan bureaucracy - as of 2016, 85% of Madrinet's highest-ranking civil servants had an affiliation with the university - leading to its nickname "Mandarin College".

[Dormill and Stiura]

1) University of Kapolder
Kapolder City, Kapolder

The center of the "University" district of old Kapolder City, the University of Kapolder is one of the oldest universities in Dormill and Stiura and is considered the most prestigious of the Dutch universities. Noted exceptionally for its business and law programs alongside its robust research aspects, the University of Kapolder exists as part of the Federal 5 (Cinq fédéraux / Federale Vijf) alongside Cour Rouge University, the Army Academy, the University of South Kapolder, and the University of Saint-Denis which is all considered generally co-equal in prestige to the University of Kapolder.

2) Académie française de Chery (French Academy of Chery) | University of Chery
Chery, Lieurneux

The oldest University in Dormill and Stiura, the French Academy was originally founded to educate the up-and-coming upper class of colonial Dormill and has mostly maintained this status throughout Doraltic history, even in the modern air of Republicanism. It is particularly famous for its arts and humanities program centered around the Société des sciences Humaines et de la philosophie (Society of the Humanities and Philosophy), of which the famous Dormillian revolutionary and the nation's first President, Rémy Lécuyer de Launey was a leading member before the formation of the Revolutionary Court. It is widely considered to be the most prestigious French university within Dormill and Stiura and is often compared to the Thromsonian IFT Manchester, the largest French-speaking University in Thromsa, as the most prestigious French-speaking University in the Western Isles.

3) Federal Institute of Technology Krassum
Krassum, Stiura

Located in Central Stiura and part of a larger system of federally organized polytechnic research universities that aimed to provide STEM education to Dormill and Stiura's citizens in the transition away from the Fraternalist government. The Institute at Krassum was the first of these universities and represents the pinnacle of higher education within the Republic of Stiura and across the local region. Krassum is particularly noteworthy for its contributions to aerospace research, many of FIT-Krassum's students interns and subsequently go on to work full-time in many of the Western Isles' aerospace manufacturers, notably Kapolder Electric Works Aviation, Messiner Aerospace, Endeavor Aerospace, and Prospect Aviation.

4) National Institute at Tasofie
Tasofie, Ardeda

Although the Ardedan capital has been host to universities even older than the University of Chery, the shaky relationship between Ardeda and the Europeans meant that the original university at Tasofie was lost and absorbed into French institutions. For a time, there was a French Academy at Boissieux that served the role of Tasofie's university, but it was a deeply racist institution that, if it was not for the goodwill of many of its professors, nearly wiped out the wealth of Ardedan history, philosophy, and math. With the restoration of the United Republics in 1995, the newly anointed Stuber Administration set out to further the project of the Federal Institutes of Technology by establishing a national network of universities geared towards liberal arts and research. Like its sisters, the National Institute at Tasofie is considered highly prestigious and is highly accessible with generous federal and state aid provided by the government of Ardeda, enabling Ardedan residents who have graduated from High School within its borders to attend the Institute for almost two years tuition-free. It is distinct among its sisters for containing the Anastasia Alexandra Duguay Center for Ardedan Studies, the largest educational institution for Pre-Magellan Ardedan and Aruian history, culture, philosophy, and language in the United Republics.

5) University of South Alban
Sud Alban, Kapolder

Although now more famous for being President Cedar Dyson's alma mater, the University of South Alban, much like its cousin in Kapolder City, is most well known for its business and law programs but is also known for its contributions to the field of Comparative Politics and Economics, pioneering research methods that now inform academia, businesses, and policy all at once. President Dyson's relative fame has seen the University's endowment increase in step with a relative explosion in size as more students enroll.

6) Wilhelm Larue Riese University
Helle, Stiura

Named for its founder, President Wilhelm Larue Riese, WLR-U (as it's more commonly called) is a private research university that is particularly noted for its robust agriculture and horticulture programs and research, leading the way in both fields across Dormill and Stiura. It was founded with the intent to provide higher education to rural Stiuraians who shared the President's ambitions but also provided them more than the same kind of philosophy or political education offered at the then most prestigious universities, hence its focus on providing agriculture education and attracting agricultural researchers.

7) Waynesburg Polytechnic Institute
Waynesburg, New Friesland

At the center of Dormill and Stiura's tech sector, WPI is renowned for producing several of the nation's tech sector leaders and contributes greatly to computer hardware and software design alongside electrical engineering. The smallest of the most prestigious schools in this list, WPI punches above its weight with the influence it carries in the tech sector and is considered a cornerstone of the English Doraltic community.

8) Arts des Marches | Marche Institute of the Arts
Montrelais, Launey

Home of Dormill and Stiura's film, theater, and music scene, AdM produces the vast majority of the United Republics' animators, directors, actors, musicians, and other notable artists. It is widely considered to be the starting line for any successful long-term career in the arts in Dormill and Stiura. It is also regionally notable for having one of the largest foreign language programs in the Western Isles, teaching among others: Ardedan, Ahnslen, Aruian, Balniki, English, Dutch, French, Alteran, Nhoor, Doman, Salimanese, Uszian, and Solaryi. The depth of AdM's foreign language program is cited as a necessary component of its broadcast and audio media programs, which aims to teach students at least one other foreign language to expand their career horizons beyond Dormill and Stiura.

9) Grottingonshaven Maritime Academy
Grottingonshaven, New Friesland

As Dormill and Stiura has deep maritime roots, it is only natural that one of its prestigious universities is a Maritime Academy. With links to the United Republics Navy, the Academy produces the majority of new sailors in Dormill and Stiura and the local region both civil and military. GMA also serves a robust maritime research role with the Survey Ship Maikel Vroomen, providing the nation with a vast wealth of data on the oceanic environments of the Western Isles.

10) Federal Institute of Technology Ft. Louis
Fort Louis, Annecy

The newest of the Federal Institutes of Technology, the Institute at Ft. Louis is noted for its biology, biochemical, and chemistry departments and contributions to the growing biochemical industry in central Annecy.

[Dyrrhonian Isles]

The top ranked universities in the Dyrrhonian Isles are those located in the economic center of activity, the city of Rhamnasis. Their graduates produced some of the most active forces in the local political arena. They are also responsible for some of the most prestigious research in the human sciences.

The college system in Rhamnasis developed late relative to the rest of Diarcesia. The oldest of them is the School of Anatolic and Atlantian Oceanian Studies (Schola Anatolicum cae Atlantoceanicum Studiorum), which was founded in 1875. The School became the foundation of the eventual University of Rhamnasis, which is composed of many other scholae. One of them is the politics-focused School of the Palatines (Schola Palatinae), founded in 1969.

[Oesteuropa]

Due to the size of the country, Oesteuropa has a vast number of universities. The most elite and well-regarded of them are the fourteen universities in the Imperial Universities Group: Vienna, Prague, Leuven, Paris, Geneva, Turin, Venice, Avignon, Budapest, Leipzig, Cologne, Aachen, Sarajevo, and Munich.

For a few decades, university rankings became very popular and universities often oriented themselves in such a way to climb to the top of those rankings as a means of making themselves more attractive. However, the Ministry of Education began to issue its own rankings which were seen as more complete and authoritative. Every two years it publishes the University Quality Index, which gathers data on various aspects of a university. For the 2019-20 and 2020-21 academic years, the top three universities were Vienna, Prague, and Leuven. However, ranking by different metrics provides a different top three. The top three for sciences were Vienna, Heidelberg, and Geneva, while the top three for the Humanities were Leuven, Paris, and Cologne.

When ranked exclusively by non-academic metrics (including but not limited to affordability, social life, size, accessibility), only Munich and Sarajevo out of the IUG make it in the top ten. The most successful "Non-academic" universities in this time period were South Budapest, Ragusa and Laibach, which are highly popular and seen as a cheap avenue for people to obtain a degree.
