The Constitutional Monarchy of Maraque is renowned for it's excellence in education. The King of Maraque has won numorous awards for his country's vastly impressive education system.

Part of the curriculum is language; each student is required to learn five languages in school before he or she is to graduate, and education is completely free to the citizens of Maraque, from Kindergarden through college.

More impressive, is the fact that nearly every adult in Maraque has a doctorate degree of some kind; 92% of all adults 28 and over have a doctorate. 98% of all adults in the 18-26 demographic hold an advanced degree.

Kids in Maraque start school at the early age of 4, where they will learn about Maraques' vast history, begin learning proper English, Spanish, German, French, and Italian, and begin basic math.

Before the 2nd grade, each and every child is taken through a course of the work he has done throughout the entire year, and if he passes this, he will go on to the next grade. If a student does not, he will be held back appropriately until he is able to advance on.

In Maraque, being held back has no disadvantages, as we believe a child will be ready when the time is right, a grade is in no way, shape, or form a sign that you are superior in intelligence. It simply means you're one step closer to begin your life as an adult.

In the 2nd grade, you will begin intergalactic history next to the national history, and begin Math 2, which is a mix of subtraction, addition, and multiplication. Also, the student will begin Language 2, which is how to perform simple phrases about everyday life in each of the languages.

Throughout the childs education, he will have access to everything he needs to be successful in his teachings. Computers with limitless high-speed internet access will help the student find any information he may be looking for in any given subject, and an endless supply of books in the nations enormous digital library are available for the student to take at his or her discretion.
