===Dignitas=== | |||
{{main|Dignitas (Lucrecia)|Dignitas Scoring System}} | |||
Lucrecian society places heavy emphasis on prestige and overall trustworthiness, much like the concept of dignitas in Caphiria. Unlike in Caphiria however, Lucrecian diginitas is entirely based on one's achievements rather than a combination of birthright and achievements like in the former. Although once a status that had no exact numerical value placed upon it, with the advent of computers in the 1980s there emerged a numerical scoring system that quantifies one's current dignitas. Called the [[Dignitas Scoring System]], it is a national {{wp|credit rating}} that has been developed by the Curia since 1987, complete with a {{wp|whitelist|purplelist}} (purple being deemed the colour of high prestige in Lucrecia) and a {{wp|blacklist}}. The idea behind the Dignitas Score is to encourage government institutions, citizens, and businesses to strive towards good deeds and achievements. Being on the purplelist is said to net certain privileges to those who are on it, mostly favourable discounts in public transport and parking, an easier time navigating through the highly complex government bureaucracy, and even favourable interest rates from banking institutions; purplelisted businesses are also much less likely to be inspected beyond the absolute mandated minimum set by the Curia so that regulators may focus on investigating businesses that are not purplelisted. | |||
===Education=== | |||
{{main|Education in Lucrecia}} | |||
The school system in Lucrecia is the responsibility of the linguistic communities, though both communities' school systems have only few differences between the two, with little involvement from the Curia beyond determining the mandatory schooling age (currently from age 3 until age 18) and providing funding for the linguistic communities. Both communities' school systems are primarily based upon [[Education in Caphiria|Caphiria's school system]] at least in terms of structure and standard curriculum arrangements, albeit with a greater degree of decentralisation since federalisation from the 1970s onward. Below the level of the linguistic communities, the school districts are handled by the cantonal governments in close cooperation with the linguistic communities (the two capital cantons cooperating with both linguistic communities, having school districts for both languages within their borders). It is the school districts, which span multiple provinces within a canton, that are in charge of the school circuits, run by, and are contiguous within the jurisdiction of, the provincial governments. The lowest-level division in Lucrecia's school system are the educational parishes, so-called due to the Catholic Church's former role in providing education in the republic, and are currently jointly-run by local governments. | |||

{{main|Lucrecian Armed Forces}} | |||
As one of the oldest extant armed forces in the world, the Lucrecian armed forces was established as the [[Emeritan Army]] and the [[Emertian Navy]] during the early years of the [[Emeritan Republic]] when it was a {{wp|city state}}. With the emergence of the Republic during the 2nd Century BC and the rise of the First Caphiric Imperium, the armed forces took on a more Caphiric character, with the army soon becoming the [[Emeritan Legion]] as it moved away from levies and conscripts to professionals and volunteers. The Legion and Navy would survive the Nobles' Treaty and remain in existence as the [[Lucrecian Republican Legion]] and the [[Lucrecian Republican Navy]], with the [[Lucrecian Republican Air Force]] eventually being formed in the early 20th Century as the invention of planes brought in a new air-bound theatre to future conflicts. Asides from the three main branches, there also exists the [[Lucrecian Republican Gendarmerie]], serving as the militarised arm of the nation's police service, the {{wp|guard of honour|ceremonial}} [[Lucrecian Republican Guard|Lucrecian Republican, Pretorian, and Consular Guard]] for the protection of government officials and the royal family during functions and parades (with everyday protection being provided by the [[Federal Protection Unit]], itself a branch of the nation's civilian police force the [[Lucrecian Federal Police]]), and the [[Lucrecian Republican Civil Force]], the nation's {{wp|military reserve force}} for all three of the main branches of the armed forces. | |||
