Universal Institutive Authority

The University of Baronov (UoB), is an educational, research, and library institution founded by Shwointshounburg located in New Baronov. It was the first university in Plagos, and one of the first few in Rathnir. The university's purpose is to gather, contain, and share knowledge throughout the universe by many means, such as teaching students knowledge from the best professors from around Stoneworks, the preservation of books and artifacts, development of redstone technology, and the containment of dangerous and unknown entities.

Founding
The University of Baronov, or the UoB for short, was founded by Shwointshounburg on September 27th, 2021, in the capital of Baronov located in the Shattered Sea of Plagos. It would convert one of it's abandoned houses to a small campus, with the first floor being a small library, the second floor with a lab and the third with a lecture room. The UoB would publish it's first two articles, "Imperial Society and Its Future" and "PDIRES 9" which would separate itself early on from being strictly a teaching institution but one that does research and journalism. SeemsVeryLegit would join the University very shortly afterwords as a researcher from Seaside and help start the earliest documented studies on redstone, such as it's earliest principals, uses, and the development of aircraft and rocket launchers.

First Semester And Demonic Containment
The first semester started on October 13 with the History of Uldarash taught by Avanu, Civil Engineering by Shwointshounburg, Politics of Rathnir by Meem_Dog. While there were Politics of Bardonia and Lore and Religion studies made available, they were dropped due to their professors being inactive and would later be fined $5,000 due to incompetency. In the middle of the semester, Skotos arrived in Rathnir, and his demon kins attacked Baronov, where the campus was located in. After Skotos was defeated however, a few of the demons that arrived became passive. While most other places killed them, the UoB captured and began to study and experiment with them. This would start a new program dedicated to the containment and studies of unknown and dangerous entities throughout Rathnir and later on the Universe. During this time, the UoB would get access to a Nether Star which would be kept for safety and later development.

Second Semester
The second semester would start on December 27, with History of Bardonia taught by Unic0rnB0i, Civil Engineering and Management taught by Shwointshounburg, and Brewing and Alcohol taught by Axolota Fielthorn. The UoB would also shortly afterwords get a partnership set up with the Empire of Plagatéa after hearing their concerns of a lack of trained city managers. This however would not start due to Plagatéa capitulating prior to the arrangement's starting date.

The Formation of the UIA
On February 14, Shwointshounburg proclaimed that the University of Baronov shall be reorganized into the Universal Institutive Authority, and would become it's own technocratic nation. Despite this appearing sudden to many, it was noted that this was in talks and plans for a while. Due to the growing projects and experiments with multiple different fields such as magic, potions, plagues, education, redstone, and demonic entities, the University needed to reorganize itself from the ground up to accommodate all of it's new programs and fields of expertise. This however also was not just a reorganization of it's structures but also politics. The Founder Shwointshounburg had become tired of serving within the Baronovian and later the Seaside-Baronovian government, and wanted to focus more time and effort into the University he made. To add onto this, Shwointshounburg believed that separation from the state is needed in able to ensure that the institute would not be seen as an extension of a government, and to prevent the government from taking advantages of it's affairs and technologies. This would be due to the Insurrectionist Seaside king St.Acol attempting to replicate the redstone aircraft and other military equipment concepts into war time. Despite this failed attempt, it still put the head professor and researcher on edge, and solidified it's motion to separate itself. The UIA would later on spend a week of negotiations attempting to secure land for it's new nation but failing. It wasn't until after discovering a Loophole in the system where they managed to get access to a claim within the ocean not officially controlled by any nation. When discussing with Najer about the loophole, they agreed to let the UIA freely settle in that claim without any interference, and the founder discussed a potential plan to negotiate and create an internationally recognized borders in regards to oceanic claims to prevent the loophole from being exploited by potentially harmful threats, as well as restoring the abandoned ice highway nearby with most nations of Plagos. This however fell short, as the university began to fall apart due to inactivity and future complications.
