Apartfrom the London University courses taught by highly skilled teachers,it is also home to schooling for children where teachers giveassignments to their students each week. So, if you have children,enrol them into a schooling program where they can meet otherchildren, and have fun in the process.
We also have a mentoring program, geared towards new artists who need help with the ins and outs of the music business. Here, each newbie is assigned a mentor who will answer any questions about Popmundo. It's a very friendly relationship, intended to help the newbie get comfortable with Popmundo mechanics.
The overall education program is run by our Minister of Education: Tess Garrido (temporary)

Judgeshandle each case fairly in a court of law, and when they're not outsentencing criminals, they're performing weddings. InLondon, each sentence is always under the minimum and maximum allowed byspecific guidelines set by the Chief Justice. The defendant can be judgedinnocent or guilty. Judges check the hard evidence which connect a personto a crime before giving a verdict. Other information likeinterrogations, blogs, or PMs are totally ignored. Judges will also takeinto account the severity of the crime and the personal criminalhistory of the defendant.
Special Agents pursue high valuecriminals into other cities, and even across international lines. Theygo where the New Met Police are not allowed to go, and have theauthority to arrest criminals who are wanted for crimes with a severitylevel of 5 or above both in London and in the specific city they areoperating.

Chlamydiais slightly different from other diseases. It is a Sexually TransmittedDisease that can be caught from groupies or other people. Condoms canprotect you from getting it, but only from other people. You do not usecondoms with groupies, so you will always run the risk of catching it.
'Ailments'that cannot be healed are: Acne, Fear of Death, Guilty Conscience,Hangovers, Ovulation, Puberty, Pregnancy, Tinnitus, and TravelSickness. You must wait for these 'Affected By:' states to pass ontheir own after a period of time. These ailments cannot be transferredto other people via interactions, so you do not need to close yourselfoff to the public.
Vaccines can be purchased at a hospital to help prevent contracting illnesses. Vaccines are only effective if taken before contracting that particular strain.
