Effects
Research
One research slot per University. A nation can research as many topics at once as it has Universities.
Citizens contribute research points once a day. Their contribution depends on Intelligence, Health and Happiness.
Research unlocks new options for the nation, such as the Rule of Law topic (needed for Courthouses and Prisons) and Nuclear Fission (needed for Nuclear Reactors).
The President or the University's Dean chooses which topics to start, and can rename the University and appoint a new Dean (a citizen of level 3 or higher).
Degrees
Citizens can study for degrees at a University in their nation. Each lesson takes one day, uses a book, and needs at least 50 Happiness.
