The Rise Of Australasia

Especially William, he had to complete all his studies before he came of age, then spend a few years in the Military, and only after that could he proceed to University for further education.

Politics, history, psychology, economy, management, culture, language, mathematics, and so on were subjects William had to understand and learn.

In addition, including etiquette of the Nobility, horsemanship, shooting, public speaking, and debate, composed of William’s traditional noble curriculum.

Of course, that was still far from over. Before he came of age, he would also engage in sports, along with some musical instruments and painting among others, only then would his education be considered complete.

After spending a few years of his military career in the Military, William would pursue further studies at a University where he could choose his own interests. While he continued to deepen his knowledge of politics, economy, and management, he would explore areas of interest to him, such as biology, physics, chemistry, and more.

Such a busy curriculum could not be overstated; however, Arthur was quite satisfied with the learning attitude of the youngsters like William, Peter, and even George.

Arthur constantly instilled in them the responsibilities of the Nobility, especially the Royal Family Members, which led them to not only embrace learning but also take the initiative to study hard, eager to shoulder some of the responsibilities for Arthur.

After deciding to relocate the Capital City, the government’s relocation actions were quite swift.

By February 7th, the framework for all departments of the government had been set up at the St. Arthur’s Fortress Administrative Court, ready for the personnel to move in and start working.

The House of Representatives and the National Court had also been transferred to Saint Arthur Castle, while the Sydney National Court was officially renamed the Sydney Territory Court, serving as the highest legal institution for the Sydney Territory.

The only one who did not relocate was Archbishop Steed, who would remain at Sydney Cathedral, with Australasia’s religious center still in Sydney.

Certainly, the New Protestant Association and the Religious Association did relocate to St. Arthur’s Fortress, and Archbishop Steed remained the president of these two associations.

The construction of St. Arthur’s Fortress Cathedral had just begun, and Sydney Cathedral was currently the largest Cathedral in Australasia, most representative of the national religion of Australasia.

On February 11th, 1926, as a large number of documents and materials were transported to Arthur Castle, almost all the Cabinet Officials also officially moved to the new Capital City and settled into the more extensive Administrative Court.

After moving to the new location, the Cabinet Government began operations, and on February 15th, the very day that Sydney’s status as the capital was officially abolished, the Cabinet formally announced St. Arthur’s Fortress as the new Capital City of Australasia.

On February 16th, the second day after the relocation of the Capital City, Arthur held a meeting to discuss the aftermath of the relocation and the next actions of the government.

During the meeting, Arthur first commended the government for its swift relocation, then turned his attention to the cabinet members, inquiring about the challenges faced during the government’s move and the focus of work plans for the coming year.

"Your Majesty," Minister of Education Kailo Jefferson stood up first, expressing with respectful yet earnest demeanor, "I believe what we need to do first is to start building a University in St. Arthur’s Fortress."

Minister Kailo explained, "St. Arthur’s Fortress has officially become our capital, and the Population has exceeded 250,000, making it necessary to have at least one University.

If our Capital City lacks a University, it would greatly diminish the perception of our education in the eyes of other People around the world and increase the pressure on the local Population to seek education.

My plan is to establish a branch of the National University in St. Arthur’s Fortress and to construct a St. Arthur’s Fortress Agricultural School.

The area surrounding the Capital City is very suitable for the development of Agriculture, and building an Agricultural School would also benefit the development of agriculture in the Capital region."

Although St. Arthur’s Fortress was only a Small Town with a Population that just exceeded 250,000, because it was the Capital City of Australasia, it had to have 1 to 2 Universities to reflect this status.

But to build a University from scratch would take too long, which is why Minister Kailo suggested establishing a branch of the Australasia National University in St. Arthur’s Fortress.

The Australasia National University was the first University constructed with funding from the Cabinet Government and carried a significant symbolism for Australasia. @@novelbin@@

Even though St. Arthur’s Fortress had become the new capital of the Nation, it was unrealistic to establish the main campus of the National University there.

After all, the National University in Sydney was deeply established, not only boasting significant size but also being one of the Universities with the highest number of current students.

Leveraging Sydney’s advantageous geographical location, the Australasia National University could attract hundreds of international students each year in addition to thousands of new students of its own, pushing the total number of students at the University past ten thousand.

It was unrealistic for such a large-scale educational institution to relocate to St. Arthur’s Fortress; instead, it made more sense to divide a portion of the faculty and facilities to establish a new branch in St. Arthur’s Fortress.

Firstly, the reputation and status of the National University meant that the branch’s standard would not be low and would fully meet the Capital region’s expectations for a University.

Secondly, with the assistance of the Sydney National University, the establishment of the St. Arthur’s Fortress branch would be much smoother, and the progress would be much faster than starting a University from scratch.

With St. Arthur’s Fortress branch as a precedent, in the future, the National University could also establish branches in more Urban Cities, solidifying the National University’s renown.
