IRPA

The Institute dedicated to Research of Paranormal Activities, usually shortened to IRPA, is a research centre-cum-educational instutute. in southwestern Margate Central Island that specializes in research of the Fourth Wall, aliens, humans, the philosophy of life and death along with other theories such as the Tiger Island Fire and the infamous Crazy Uncle Ivan events.

Founded in 1999, the research centre campus consists of twelve buildings, along with other facilities the occupy bored workers' time. It is located in a deserted area which is quite near a town. Researchers who work in the centre usually have Ph.Ds in Philosophy and Fourth Wall Activities. The institute also serves as an educational centre to gain more funds for research.

The institute is not officially recognized as a university nor a research centre, but is instead strangely classified as a 'recreation centre'. Rumors float around that the institute is disguised as a recreation centre to lure penguins into the compound, although it is highly unlikely as most know it is indeed a research centre. Some say that it was a spelling error. This is one of the many criticism the institute has gained.
