Lucrecia: Difference between revisions

Line 263:

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.

===Kinship and family===

The study of {{wp|genealogy}} is a major aspect of Lucrecian society, particularly among the Emeritans and the republic's Latinic minority. Unlike in most Pelaxian-speaking nations, full names amongst the Emeritans do not make use of the matrilineal family name except in one of three cases: either the father is not an Emeritan, the father is not known, or if the mother's lineage is more prestigious. Under most circumstances, Emeritan names consist of the first name (legally referred as ''nombre''), the main family name (legally referred as ''gente''), and a branch name (legally referred as ''estirpe''); the main family name for the average Emeritan is legally required to be displayed in its original Latinic form, but the first and branch names are not legally required to be Latinic or Pelaxian in origin. All Emeritans are legally required to retain their original ''gentes'' regardless of marital status or gender (though the suffix may be changed to reflect one's gender), but they may change their ''estirpes'' whether through marriage or through a name change request; the only way for one's ''gentes'' to change is through adoption.

Conventionally, an Emeritan's name usually only has the first and branch names written. For example, Juana Marcia Posse may be commonly referred to as Juana Posse; if she were to marry Juan Octavius de San Francisco, her full name would be Juana Marcia de San Francisco, not Juana Octavia de San Francisco. However, if she were adopted by a Fernando Flavius Borbon, then her full name would become Juana Flavia Borbon, assuming that Fernando Borbon did not opt to change the newly-renamed Juana Borbon's ''nombre'' upon adopting her (this being dependent on how old Juana Borbon was when Fernando Borbon adopted her). However, it is also not an uncommon occurrence to find some ''estirpes'' that are {{wp|double-barreled name|double-barreled}}, often when the wife's ''estirpe'' happens to be prestigious in their own right; the most well-known case in Lucrecia being the royal family. The royal family descends from the [[House de Weluta]], the royal house of [[Urcea]], and from 1884 until 2015 was headed by a female. Because the ''estirpe'' of the Lucrecian royal family is deemed to be highly prestigious, it became practice to simply join the ''estirpes'' of both wife and husband together, thus leading to the current situation of the Lucrecian royal house being headed by a member of the [[House of Velucia Alba]]. However, there was no question over whether or not the royal ''gente'' of [[Julian dynasty|Julia]] would be preserved as Emeritan naming rules had already established provisions that allowed for the wife's ''gente'' to be inherited if it was more prestigious than the husband's ''gente''.
