Royal Society of Hippograd

The Royal Society of Hippograd (RSH) is Hipposhire’s National Academy of Science & Letters. It is an independent body with charitable status.

The Society is widely regarded as the most influential and powerful non-governmental organization in the Hippocratic Empire. As well as organising conferences and lectures for the specialist and for the general public, and providing a forum for informed debate on issues of national and international importance, the Society also plays an important role in Hipposhire’s cultural and political life.

The Society has established several schools across the Empire and in some foreign nations, including most of Hipposhire’s most prominent schools, such as Watergate Academy and Neptune Academy in Hippograd, both established centuries ago.

Thanks to its eminent members, the Society has extended its influence much further in recent years. In 98AI the Society used its funds to buy a 30% share in Archipelago Commerce Group, Hipposhire’s largest bank. The revenue generated by this investment enabled the Society Board to purchase a 20% share in the Royal Bank of Hippograd and the Potamia Enterprise Corporation, which owns the Hippopotamus City Stock Exchange and Hippocorp.

These massive investments gave the Society enough capital to expand its cultural influence. In 132AI the Society absorbed the National Trust for Hipposhire, whose assets include the HNN Network, the National Galleries and National Museums of Hipposhire, and a further 240 prominent schools.

Last year the Society began negotiations to purchase the Hippograd Academic Institute, which owns several academic institutions in the north of Hippograd, including the University of Hippograd and the University of Nautica. There are also plans to purchase the Hippograd State Airports Authority (HSAA), which owns and operates all of the state’s airports, and a dozen prominent publishing companies.

Its multidisciplinary, peer-elected fellowship of people and hippos of international standing provides independent, expert advice to key decision making bodies, including Government and Parliament.

The Society’s Research Awards programme annually awards well over §4 billion to exceptionally talented young academics and potential entrepreneurs to promote commercial exploitation of inventiveness and boost wealth-generation.
