How would i give them nobles

Like BlackFlyme said, look at the raws for the vanilla MOUNTAIN entity for good examples. At a bare minimum, you'll want positions which fill the same roles as: mayor/expedition leader, outpost liaison, bookkeeper, manager, broker, and militia captain.

Also, when adding noble positions to your entity, you'll want  to remove the [SITE_VARIABLE_POSITIONS:ALL] token for sure, and if you define any positon with [RESPONSIBILITY:LAW_MAKING] you need to remove the [VARIABLE POSITIONS:ALL] token or you'll get crashes during worldgen.

My advice, apply for every scholarship or grant that you meet the criteria for. Obviously, don't waste time applying for money that's intended for specific groups (Women studying hard sciences, low-income minorities, etc.) unless you actually belong to the group the money is intended for. The only ways to really get into hot water with a scholarship application are by lying on the application, or doing something like taking the money then not going to school. And it's pretty hard to mess up anything with a scholarship application beyond your chances of getting the particular scholarship you're applying for.

I generate a new world when I've made changes to my raws, or when I'm starting my first fort on a new DF version, or occasionally if I've decided that a particular world is/has become boring (but a regen for one of the 1st 2 reasons usually happens before this). I also usually generate a new world when I'm installing DF on a new computer, but that's just to avoid copying saves around.

The best results I've gotten with traffic priorities in situations like this is from putting a band (2-3 tiles wide) of restricted traffic around the area that most dwarves should avoid. The ones that need to go there for some reason still path there without too much lag, and the majority who have no business going there stay out. I can sometimes get a 20% or more increase to FPS by doing this.

Last I remember children aren't supposed to have any problem with being naked. Even all the way up to 12... Anyway, this is probably a bug.

Are you sure? I know they've always made a run for the clothing stockpile on their 1st birthday for me.

Is this a .40.xx version? And you've actually seen a goblin babysnatcher? Just curious, because babysnatchers are one of the few things that I have not yet seen since I started playing on the .40.xx versions, and a lot of other people have noted their apparent absence as well.

Other ways to limit how many hauling jobs a large stockpile creates include using wheelbarrows (depends on stockpile type), or setting it to take from a small feeder stockpile, and only take from links.

Well, looking through the raws, the tags which the monarch has and no other non-site noble has are:

[RESPONSIBILITY:MILITARY_GOALS]
[PRECEDENCE:1]
[RULES_FROM_LOCATION]

Additionally, the following 2 tags are shared only by the FORCED_ADMINISTRATOR position:
[EXPORTED_IN_LEGENDS]
[DETERMINES_COIN_DESIGN]

So it seems likely to me that one of those tags (or some combination of them) is involved in the selection process.

It may be worth noting that the elven LEADER position (the queen, the only other 'ruler of a civilization' position we see in the raws) has

[RESPONSIBILITY:MILITARY_GOALS]
[RULES_FROM_LOCATION]
[EXPORTED_IN_LEGENDS]

in common with the list for the dwarven MONARCH position, but since elves aren't designed to be playable, it may not be relevant.
