Universitus (also known as Universitus University, the Universitus School, or simply "U"; formerly known as the University of the Church of Jey and Jey University), is a coeducational, non-sectarian university located in the state of Domz in The Allied Empire of Jey, and the only Quaternary Education facility in the country. The massive university is larger than most cities within Jey, and the amount of students, faculty, or facilities maintained by the school is significantly larger than any other institution of higher learning. The founding date of the university is unknown (though can be approximated as roughly between the years 3600 - 3695 (JY)), as are the founder(s) of the school.
The rigors associated with Universitus are legendary within Jey and other countries. The perfection required by students in order to join the university is embodied within the school's motto, Perfectus, Latin for "perfect". All students within Jey have a direct possibility to be admitted into Universitus, but must do so by acquiring a certain percentage throughout standardized testing and grade point averages. The intense curriculum of Universitus produces some of the most successful of Jevian citizens.

History
Most of the history of Universitus is unknown, thus legendary tales are commonly used to explain unanswered questions concerning Universitus' history. Universitus is commonly thought to have been founded between the years of 3600 - 3695 (JY), easily making Universitus the first Jevian university of any sort. The university's oldest known diploma is from the graduating year of 3698, causing most to believe that the university was founded 3 years prior, allowing the known graduate to enter as a freshman in 3695. Until 4000, Universitus operated similarly to a postgraduate institution, allowing students to graduate in 4 years, after the conventional Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years.
Universitus is known to have been founded initially as a sectarian institute for the followers of the Church of Jey, and, until 3879, the university was known as the University of the Church of Jey. Presidents prior to 3879 were known as "Provosts". Provost Alchelm McFir offered a referendum to the alumni, students, and faculty in 3879 to remove the affiliation the school had with the Church of Jey, which is said to have passed by a considerable margin, thus making McFir the last Provost and first President of Univsersitus. By 3900, the university began competing with other colleges across Jevian lands, and with a sizable endowment from its rich history of alumni, Univeristus quickly became known as the most prestigious university in all of Domzian territory. In 3922, President Dr. Uri Ferloshenberg renamed the school from Jey University to its current name, a move which is considered a statement of Universitus' prominence over other schools. Universitus, in Jevian, means "the University", thus the renaming of the school alludes to the university's position as the prestigious institution of Jey.
</div>Upon the founding of the Allied Empire of Jey, Universitus underwent extreme changes. Prior to the country's independence, Universitus was already the largest university in Jey in terms of faculty, undergraduates, area, facilities, and endowment, as well as having the societal recognition as Jey's most selective and prestigious institution. Newly elected Emperor Drew Domz, himself an alumnus, sought to make reforms to the Jevian educational system as a whole, including an altering of Universitus' academic philosophies. Domz appointed himself President of the University, removing current President Rerthor Stiggit from office, and changed Universitus' purpose from an undergraduate level institute in Jey to a postgraduate school. Prior to that time, no postgraduate schools existed for the belief was that Jevian education was expansive enough that such institutions had no use.
For a period of 20 years, Domz allocated a guaranteed $100 billion annual endowment (95% of the country's budget for education) for the development of Universitus into the country's first "Quaternary Education" facility. During those 20 years, Universitus developed into the massive institute it is today. Domz further reformed the educational system by passing legislation which made Universitus the only Quaternary Education school in the country, giving his alma mater a monopoly on postgraduate students. The Emperor also appointed Dr. Rigorus Satact as the new President of the school for overseeing everyday activities within the institute, though Domz still retains his title within the school. With monetary and legislative assistance from perhaps its most famous alumnus, Universitus has quickly developed into the most prominent place of learning in Domzian lands.

Universitus has two levels of organization: academic organization and political organization.
Political
Politically, because of its great size, Universitus is considered a Jevian City, and the land owned by the university is known as The City of Universitus in political terms. Universitus thus has its own municipal government with respective governmental buildings, police force and emergency control organizations.
Universitus was granted the status of a City in 4050, when the population of the area had become too large to continue without some form of local government outside of the university's jurisdiction. The government of Universitus the city consists of a mayor, deputy mayor, head attorney, treasurer, head sheriff, and city council consisting of 10 members, representing one of 10 Universitus districts. Non-city council members of the government are elected to office for a period of 15 Jevian Years, while the city council is elected to 10 Jevian Year terms. Politically, the City of Universitus has been historically in favor of the Jevian Empirical Party, as each mayor elected from the popular vote has represented the JEP.

Academic
The academic organization of Universitus has two distinct categories: before and after graduation from the university.
Undergraduate
Before graduation, Universitus is organized into over 200 academic departments consisting of over 1000 distinct colleges which all focus extensively on the pursuits of the individual student. In the 1341 colleges which comprise Universitus undergraduate academics, an average of 624 classes are offered. Colleges within the university range from as broad an imprecise as The Universitus McGiel College of Liberal Arts for the Undecided to as specific as The Universitus Aarons College of Carcinogenic Pancreatic Cells. Within each of these colleges, classes become more specific and more focused pertaining to both the student's strengths and planned academic pursuits.
</div>Though most institutions which maintain a significant amount of individual colleges are known as "University Systems," Universitus maintains its singularity as a solitary University within the city borders, due to the adjacency of all colleges within the city. The only exception to this singularity are Universitus' various satellite and international campuses, which are considered part of a Universitus University System.
Postgraduate
After graduation, Universitus has a much different organizational structure. Students may choose to either enter into one of Universitus' 552 postgraduate schools for more extensive learning, enter into Universitus, the city, and compete for job positions in some of the most respective companies within Jey, or leave the grounds completely. 99.8% of students choose one of the first two options, with less than 500 students leaving the grounds indefinitely every year. If students enter into one of Universitus' postgraduate institutions, the same expansive education will be offered as in undergraduate schools. Students may also choose to enter into a Universitus Profession (which can also be entered into after postgraduate learning). Students in a Universitus Profession (any job which is inside the boundary of the university) are still considered students of Universitus as the school owns the lands the students worke on, the markets in which they compete, and the businesses for which they work. Thus, many students do not cease being enrolled in Universitus until their death.
