Now today is your special case to enroll as the most prestigious preparatory school in the whole of the Empire. Here we offer the best teaching with world renowned professors, classes that are small, the chance to go to school along the leaders of tomorrow, and the chance to make perhaps make friends with the heirs of the most powerful people in the Empire.

The education we offer is extremely broad and of the highest quality that can be ever seen. At the IPS we gave your children the chance to truly challenge themselves, while enjoying themselves, and the opportunity to become enjoy an education few in the world can even dream of.

We teach our students the core courses in school and we also give them the chance to take up to four side courses every semester so as to give them the chance to diverge their education. We also give the chance to experience our most beautiful and fabulous *insert random historical place*.

As well, the school's history dates back six hundred years starting as a school meant for the nobility which was financed by the Emperor of the Scandinvans himself. on the grounds of the Imperial Palace itself, in order to conslidate the education of the nobility of the Empire. To this day the Emperor continued to finanace the facility, ensuring that the school itself has the finest teachers aviable, and that it also could be considered the most prestigious school in the Empire where the Imperial family is educated and as such it is a highly desirable school for anyone in the world.

Aw for the differences the Scandinvan students, especially the elite towards non-wealthy people, are xenophobic and are in some cases borderline racists.

Those Who Rule:Scandinvan nobility, foreign nobility, and children of powerful politicans.

Raised to be a devout Nazi, the collapse of the Pact of Iron and the ending of the authority of the National Socialists created a void in young Ivan as both of his parents were removed from their senior positions in society and everything that Ivan had believed in - purity of the race, Party rule - had collapsed overnight. However when the Provisional Government was challenged by Doctor Ianovich and other Wulfen cultists with the support of many prominent Pact officials and officers, Ivan skipped school at age 13 to take part in the street battles alongside his father. With the installation of the Empire of the Wolf and the overt militarisation of the Empire, Ivan has found a new cause. He has already served a year in the Imperial Army reserves, but his parents want him to to finish his already disrupted education and they see the Imperial Preparatory School.

Heck, my nation has made non-Europeans into second class persons, who are denied the right to vote in the Scandinvan Empire.

To point out the Progressive Action Club is aimed towards more liberal people, while the Organization of Right Wing and Fascist Intellectuals is more geared towards your student.

Wow, sounds like Ivan will have a good time here then :D I didn't see the Organization of Right Wing and Fascist Intellectuals on the list, will edit memberships accordingly. I just finished studying European Fascism at uni, so every time I see the word "Action" I think fascism :P

Dear Principal of Imperial Preparatory School,

I send my children to a new school every two years to gain a wider knowledge of the world. I have looked at many many schools, and upon dep research by my researchers and advisors, it seems this is one of the best in the world for grades 11 + 12.

Dear Principal of Imperial Preparatory School

My name is Hernan Drax, and I am the Minister of Foreign Afairs in Belschaft. over the recent years I have watched with increasing dismay as the quality of the School system, both private and public, in Belschaft has become increasingly poor. Therefore I have decided to send my son to a Foreign private school, and have selceted your establishment due to it's excellent reputation and curiculum. I do apologise for any problems you may have with my son, as he somewhat dislikes authority and may be disruptive. However I am sure you can deal with him, and mould him into the man I wnat him to become. I have highlighted a list of subjects I would like him to study, I am not intrested in things such as P.E. and music, he does not need them for his future. I have breif militry career palned for him, bewfore I will bring him into politics. It will be your job to see to it that he is prepared for his future when he gardauates. I would like him to study the following subjects througout the years. I have selected them from your list.

Are there any measures that you wish for us to use if we are forced to discipline your child? To state however we do have an unusual student environment where the students tend to regulate themselves in general social affairs as the student body itself is quite conservative in nature and more minor social issues are allowed to be worked out by the students, this has in built designs that orginate from the School's more learned specialists that encourge students to seek to build themselves up to be morally upright persons. Yet, if you son proves a dire problem, to the point where infractions cannot be worked by the students or by individual staff members then the school directly intercedes and pairs the child with a well respected member of the student body who had experinces similiar to the troubled studnet. Though before you get worried we have a policy at the school that we refuse to expel students and instead tend to work problems on our own, with the parents being kept fully aware of what is going on of course.

We wish to point out that we do not accept players onto our Track team, running, who smoke. However, Josef can join any club and play the other two sports you enrolled him in for.

However, while we prefer not to exclude required classes, we are more then willing to make an exception for Josef, as long as he remains on one or more sport teams at the school

OOC: Your school system doesn't sync up with mine at all, but I'd kind of like to work something out. It's in the factbook but crash course: it's a very intense 10 years, 5-15, 8 hours a day, six days a week, and noble children go home to tutors.

To Whom it May Concern:

House Giarelli has a cadet line in the family which has recently moved to your country. They are one of the more-removed lines and as such is unlikely to be eligible for the Family's elite tutors. Because of this, we have a 13-year-old child who is well ahead of students of the same age in your nation but cannot continue schooling as our country sees it and may not be suited well to her age group in your nation. We would require that your school take her previous education into account and place her in her next appropriate grade.

The way we see it, aside from Scandinvan history, she may be in our equivalent of your 11th grade, though we note that she has been exposed to some of what is taught in 11th and 12th.

We hope to hear from you before we allow her to send in her application. Her education and wellbeing are very important to us.

Pax tibi,
Duca Nicolo Armand Giarelli IX

OOC: My educational system is designed to encourage those with natural abilities to excel and work to achieve their potential, at least the Prepatory School. So unlike many other places students are trusted to be able to teach themselves to a large degree, save in math. Yet, at the same time some of the Empire's finest teachers are at the school ready to aide their pupils at nearly any time. To note, however, the education is not designed as in regards to other more normal education standards, it is designed to be more advanced and its main goal is to make the students at the school the able leaders of tommorrow and the future captians of industry.

IC: We are more then willing to accept your daughter into the school, however, due to the unique nature of the school, we cannot simply allow your daughter to skip the grades, while she can easily test out of certain required classes though and in their stead take more of the optional classes instead. To clarify though, the reason why we do not genrally allow students to skip grades is because we are amongst the finest schools of the world and are education is on par with nearly any other type in the world, with many of our classes on par with college level courses and many of the our 11th and 12th grade classes being accepted at schools throughout the Empire and the world. As well, our education system is designed to prepare our students for a future in politics, business, sciences, and many other fields.

(OOC: Heh, well, perhaps 11th is a bit far for her, then, though 8th is a difficulty. Testing time!)

If that must be the case, then we will ask that my niece be allowed to attempt to test out of as many classes as possible (or as she wants). Though you may very well be one of the best preparatory schools in the world, sheer hours of education puts our students, nobles especially, farther down the line each year and the problem is having her repeat the very same subjects twice. If she can test out, would she be able to enroll in any classes ahead of her grade level? Should we be able to send to tutor to your country, or should they return, she cannot be behind or she will produce a disturbing level of shame and be generally accepted as useless. As a noble girl with an IQ of 195, it would be dreadfully inconvenient for people to see her as stupid. Aside from that, the offering in 8th grade would be very small as it would appear she has about three or four classes that have a good chance of being a new subject.

Should she complete her education at your institution, would you be willing to work with her university of choice, likely Marquess Academy, to see if she has made acceptable progress on their degree evaluation? She would be three years behind in university, otherwise, and it is illegal for a noble to not attend university.

At school, she had to work hard or risk being disowned. She has always had a lot expected of her and has done very well in the Santherese school system. She also competed in diving and fencing, and is working on becoming a skilled cellist. Since she did not complete schooling in Santheres when her family moved abroad, she has to adapt to a new school system, which is unlikely to make her happy.

As a Giarelli, she is a member of the single most powerful family in Santheres, with the possible exception of House de Rossi purely because a de Rossi is the current Regnant and therefore has more political and economic resources at his command.

As a Giarelli, she is a member of the single most powerful family in Santheres, with the possible exception of House de Rossi purely because a de Rossi is the current Regnant and therefore has more political and economic resources at his command.OOC: I am in favor of allowing people creative lis. with their characters, but to have an I.Q. 196 is rather outlandish. As such an I.Q. would basically allow her to do anything with ease. Link for support of my concerns: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_IQ_society

IC: One trait we pride oursevles on at our school is the ability for students to be to gain a strong lead and be justly compensated for their hard work. Thus their should be no problen with your daughter taking tests to pass out of classes she would otherwise have to take.

In regards to your question about our school working alonging with a university of your daughter's choice there will be no problem with ensuring your daughter having the best options open to her. Save we wish to ask what field does she wish to study in college?

(OOC: The IQ thing... I don't see how that's a problem. My girlfriend was tested with a 195 when she was 12 and graduated from college when she was 17. I'm making this character a good deal less successful than her and she (girlfriend) is so incredibly normal, it's not even funny; she was just pushed to her full potential and wasn't given a chance at backing down a little. And she's far from being able to do anything she wants easily. IQ doesn't mean as much as people seem to believe it does. =S Plus then there are the biases in IQ tests and upper class individuals are naturally better inclined toward higher scores on many official tests.)

Valeria should be pursuing degrees in political science and history, though history is far from necessary; she simply feels the need to follow exactly in her grandmother's footsteps.

OOC- IQ is useless. Not only is it meaningless, it's very easy to learn how to pass the test with stupidly high scores. Or get them because it's an easy test. Human average is 100, mensa membership 148. If your girlfriend got 190 the either she's steven hawking in disguise, or learnt how to awnser the questions.

1. Jumping a cargo train from her home in Wineforest (Eastern Kirav), to Tavroa (West Coast of Kirav). By the time her parents caught up with her, she was about to stow away on a grain ship to Kontaréa (Historically opressed province)

2. Pointed out to school administrators that nudity was not prohibited in the school dress code. The hard way.

3. Got in violent confrontation with Animal Liberationists. Casualties: 5 Liberators, 2 chimpanzees.

4. While prank calling at a sleepover, accidentally contacted the Imperial Intelligence Agency. As it turns out, "Is your refrigerator running? Then you better go cath it!" was a code-word for a leak of classified information.

Otherwise, feel free to torment other students mentally, get into minor fights, have fairly liberal speech around other students of any rank without the school punishing her, prank other students, go into town and get drunk (drinking age is 14 in the Scandinvan Empire), and nearly anything else that you can thing of, since she is related to your nation's high nobility my nation has basically granted her a great deal of legal immunity.
