make detailed paras on
kingdom: structure, ruling gov, terrain, influences from other places (for me??? research?) as in societal norms, history
lucina: personality, background, influence of kingdom on morals, ambitions, motivations, thought on marriage, perceptions of husbands & others (tianyous fam, otis)
— ionia
OVERVIEW
ionia, the kingdom of science and technology, is one of the holistically larger kingdoms, almost double (?) the size of xizethia albeit not as large as the total surface area of the kingdom ruled by the lian dynasty. however, the empire is constructed generally by a number of smaller islands, and therefore singularly ionia's size itself speaks of the variety and diversity of life found within it. this abundance serves as a gateway for much of ionia's workings, steeped in the scientific zeitgeist of the country in a dogged, continuous pursuit to analyse and interpret the workings of life for the benefit of their living conditions. to a lesser acknowledged extent, their motivation is power; the logic is, by understanding all there is to know about life, it's a straightforward process to WORLD DOMINATION k no
STRUCTURE
three general divisions within ionia are known publicly, separated on the basis of aptitude determined by a test.....
* top limited number... top 25 of each cohort?
* proletariat?
* fodder in the gov's eyes failed the test?
irt schooling: unthinkably intense by any other kingdom's standards, drilling students with scientific procedures, methods of research, differentiating the branches of science... rudimentary education of all branches initially that they then elect specialities
SOCIETAL NORMS
insane pressure placed on the youth to become part of the top, a coveted position that essentially secures you for life, access to elite libraries and having authority over the kingdom(??); to become better, break the surface first, make breakthroughs and having your name spread, publishing papers. incredibly competitive and unforgiving environment; psychology is viewed as one of the sciences however clinical psychology itself as opposed to research is not as pushed? little support if these people taking the test fail;
**** idea for the kingdom: everyone is programmed at birth 2 have their lifespans drastically reduced for quicker turnover rate/stimulating pressure that encourages greater results in a smaller period?? or in order to speed up the process of different scientific contributions from diff. people.......... i don't know where i was going with this but the government would totally do this if they could..... b/c in science kingdom life itself wouldn't be valued as much as the end product sacrifices galore? unlike our modern world with our ethical practices ...

PERSONALITY ,
this is ugly redo all of thsi
- every part of him is measured; his movements, his actions, his words
he's a genius, but that's not part of his personality. what's part of his personality is his neuroticism for getting the right answer, his steady focus on achieving the goals he's set himself higher than skyscrapers - because he can reach them. that's what they're all taught at school, conditioned, and lucina particularly was one of the sharpest knives in the abattoir. not so much competitive as thorough, he works collaboratively only in the awareness that science is not linear but the amorphous amalgamation of different but identical ideas meshing, refining one another, constructing a divine pathway from misspellings and nonsensical hypotheses saved in a note on one's tablet.
of anything you could call him, it wouldn't be selfish. [nor selfless, but he acts little from self-motivation - he's pragmatic.]
lucina is a person that's fundamentally easy to comprehend, however it's empathising that's the hard part. he has an intimate relationship with ionia's ugly smoke and mirrors, and he's in deep enough that he can't be excused accountability - drenched in the sort of depraved, hungry naivety extracted from the whims of starved polymaths. in many parts it's a thirst for completion, the venture for self-satisfaction in completing a project, and any questions or complaints he has about a game that's given him a platinum throne are kept where no one can breach because he is the furthest from idiotic.
beneath a veneer of frigidity and a near blank slate of emotional incapacity,
