Welcome to the Schulmania National Capital Region!


For those of you not familiar with Schulmania, let me by way of introduction point you to the national website, www.schulmania.info  (http://www.schulmania.info)and suggest you browse the archives (Simtropolis Archive: http://schulmania.info/index_files/archiveindex.htm  (http://schulmania.info/index_files/archiveindex.htm), Exclusive Web Archive: http://schulmania.info/index_files/exclusivearchives.htm  (http://schulmania.info/index_files/exclusivearchives.htm)and War Archive: http://schulmania.info/index_files/QFarchive.htm (http://schulmania.info/index_files/QFarchive.htm)) to catch yourself up on the world's first and largest royal felinocracy. I would suggest you use the archive site because all chapters are preserved in PDF form. On Simtropolis, some updates have been corrupted over time and are not as well preserved, especially in Volume 1. Need to follow the story line? Try the Newcomer's Guide, located here: http://schulmania.info/index_files/newcomer.htm (http://schulmania.info/index_files/newcomer.htm).

Now, to get some geographic context for the National Capital Region. If you want to see the current maps of the whole nation, try this link: http://schulmania.info/index_files/map.htm (http://schulmania.info/index_files/map.htm). The four districts of the Kingdom of Tenne, a constituent region of Schulmania, are shown in the map below.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi189.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fz141%2FSchulmanator%2F2012%2520Default%2FRegion036_Tenne4Districts.jpg&hash=2cd8aef2573facdb0256657ecd8c875fdc75f685)

This is the heartland of Schulmania, and is available to you if you wish to build on it, as a map called "Heartland" – available on the STEX by my good buddy Vandy. Here's a link: http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/17709-heartland (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/17709-heartland)/.

The next map shows you where all of the cities shown thus far in Tenne are located. Now, of course, some are larger than the dot that marks their location. But this will help you place names and cities. The capital city is Oak Ridge. And, due to its size (26 arrondissements/quarters/districts) it covers more space than the typical Schulminion city.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi189.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fz141%2FSchulmanator%2F2012%2520Default%2FRegion037_Tenne4DistrictsCities.jpg&hash=f166d601adcc5827ebaebd8c83f4159ec0bb8367)
The map below shows you the urban growth boundary for the National Capital Region, comprising of the 26 districts of Oak Ridge. Now, before you ask how 26 districts will fit into a fraction of one large city tile, do know that thanks to the nature of cyberspace, it can. Just trust me on that one (wink, wink, nudge, nudge).

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi189.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fz141%2FSchulmanator%2F2012%2520Default%2FRegion038_NationalCapitalRegion.jpg&hash=91c73ebb3df22242ac882871d66fa11e4de3bf36)
If you are curious about the history of the site, there are two web exclusive links which give you the background of the new capital site. First, the announcement of the new site: http://www.schulmania.info/exclusive_files/xcl018.htm (http://www.schulmania.info/exclusive_files/xcl018.htm). And next, the reaction to the new site as it nears completion: http://www.schulmania.info/exclusive_files/consternation.htm (http://www.schulmania.info/exclusive_files/consternation.htm).

What to expect

A list of districts and their names and purposes will be posted below and periodically updated (not by modifying the post but by a new one, since some districts may be changed on a whim). The 26 districts will not be revealed in order, as they are not all finished. Each district is distinctive and has its own character and special buildings and features. Most districts will be revealed over multiple chapters due to the large number of pictures associated with their detailed compositions. For example, the second district, which is completed, is currently divided into 8 chapters worth of content; each of these with 20+ pictures each (the third district may be 15+ chapters!). Some districts will be in only one chapter, as is our first chapter, revealing District XVI. District I's main feature will be revealed in one supermassive update with over 40 pictures. (There will be other features from District I in other updates, so fret not.)

With the impending release of Simcity 2013, one might be wondering in what format to expect chapters to be released. All Schulmania updates will default to SimCity 4 by order of the Supreme Wirdle unless the new version of the game offers the prospect of creating Schulmania-like cities and the advent of suitable custom content.

Again, welcome to Schulmania: National Capital Region.

East Tenne: Gilded Quarter

The new national capital region opened to the public July 1st. The city is not yet complete, but government offices are opening around the city and many residential and commercial districts are now operational. This is our first look at the vast new capital. The capital region comprises both banks of the Wirdle River in North East Tenne and the shore along the Tenne Sea. We are looking at Pellissippi Island, which hosted the town of Hammers and a military installation before they were destroyed by Queensferry. Reborn as Oak Ridge's District XVI, the island is now the financial core of Schulmania. Nicknamed "The Gilded District" for its concentration of wealth, District XVI is the new home to the treasury, national bank, and main stock exchange. The "Wall Street of Schulmania" is a startling transformation for this island and is a suitable introduction to the capital – which will be revealed in greater detail over multiple chapters to come.

The Pellissippi Memorial Gardens at the south end of the island serve as a memorial to those who perished here in the wartime attacks by Queensferry. Nearby is the ferry terminal and a strong contingent of retailers and offices.

The Columns of the Golden Paws flank the bridges leading to the mainland. Topped with oversize solid gold statues, the columns give an indicator of the vast treasure stored on the island.

The national bank, Bank of the Government of Schulmania, sits behind one column and next to the Royal Treasury.

The Royal Treasury is a round structure which stores the crown jewels, gold reserves and other national treasures. It is flanked on the west by the Finance Office (left) and national bank (right). It sits at the heart of the island and is a very secure facility.

From here, gold and silver and sent to the various regional and municipal mints for coinage. There is a minting facility here as well. This will strike coins for the capital.

As can be imagined, a plethora of upscale retailers has descended upon the island. In the shadow of Whiskers Column, traders bid on the most valuable of all feline commodities: gilded whiskers

On the northern end of the island, the largest stock exchange in the feline world is now open. Combining the various stock exchanges in middle and eastern Schulmania into one, the new bourse is known by the name FelinEx, the International Feline Stock Exchange.

Various trading houses and financiers have offices nearby. Luckily, our erstwhile feline traders do not engage in questionable financial practices, unlike their humanoid counterparts elsewhere.

East Tenne: Welcome to Wirtyplace

Schulmania's sixth anniversary update features the home of Schulmania's beloved, inspirational, soft and furry leader: the Supreme Wirdle. Her home for ages has been Wirtyplace, a structure built in ancient days in the center of the original capital of the nation, Wirt. But, her nation has outgrown its small capital and has built a massive new one on the western shore of the Tenne Sea. Her adoring subjects have spared no expense in building her a lavish palace commensurate with her position as the exalted leader of a prosperous and happy nation.

Here's the original Wirtyplace, a humble ancient structure located in the heart of ancient Wirt. The site has now been named "Old Wirtyplace" and is the home of Admiral Hestorb, Queen of Schulmanicus.

The town of Wirt, population ~10,000, has been the capital since forever. It is still smarting from the transfer of national power to Oak Ridge, though; residents would tell you if they were totally honest that life is easier without so many government officials pushing paper around all the time. Isn't that what government officials do? As government agencies vacate the area, residents and businesses get more space. Not too much though, since the regional government is still headquartered here.

Building the new Wirtyplace presented an interesting balancing act: the country's desire to shower splendor upon their leader and their leader's non-opulent lifestyle. An outdoorsy girl who likes to catch her own dinner when she gets the time to do so, the Supreme Wirdle will definitely need more than a large palace and manicured grounds. The solution to this was devised by the City Planning Office's star architect, Baron Mandeln von Schokolade. They said his plan was nuts, be he said it was simply almonds.

The site selected is along the south shore of the Wirdle River, whose narrow delta empties into the Tenne Sea between two large barrier islands. The Royal Quarter consists of the Wirtyplace compound as well as some surrounding government offices and two islands in the narrow river. One of the islands is reserved as a private sanctuary for the Supreme Wirdle and the other will be developed with high density government offices and commercial development. Today, we focus this anniversary special on the most significant building thus far in the nation – the residence of our beloved leader. In the absence of a national capitol building (one will probably be constructed so she won't have to work from home) the new Wirtyplace is the de facto capitol of the nation.

Our beloved leader, the Supreme Wirdle

With some commentary, we will begin our tour of her new home at the main entrance, which fronts the Wirdle River. She has frontage along the Tenne Sea as well, where she has her own marina. Her yacht, the H. M. S. Tortie, docks here as do ships of her guests, support staff and suppliers. Unlike many of her subjects, the Supreme Wirdle is not an avid traveler. In fact, she hates to go places and does so with great reluctance. So, to satisfy her need for outdoors time, she will have a hunting lodge and a private forest within which to hunt. Her lack of travel is legendary, by the way. Outside of Schulmanicus, she has taken only a few trips to Wirdleonia and East Atkinos, just one to New Atkinos, and has not been to Devonshire in person.

One entrance faces a paved stone road which of course does not allow motorized vehicles. Passing through a gate, we see her front lawn, which has Schulminion flags flanking the walkway.

The back entrance has a similar configuration, but does not have the reception hall. It instead features some elegant fountains.

Looking south, we can see the front entrance leads to a reception hall. From here, distinguished guests are received and escorted with a procession across the lawn to the main building.

The reception hall has ample space for visiting delegations and the expected throngs of tourists eager to see the massive palace. Tour guides meet visitors at the fountains on the hour weekdays.

Before we visit the palace, we can stroll around the extensive, manicured grounds. Walkways, plantings and special features abound in this luxurious landscape. Plantings from across the nation have been added. In a touch of charming whimsy, the varied flowers from around the nation were grown from seeds sent to the head gardener, R. M. Boothby, by schoolchildren from every town plus from Harar. In a show of appreciation for the gesture, the Supreme Wirdle personally escorts school groups around the palace at least once a week. Needless to say, the lucky group that gets her as their guide will remember the trip with excitement forever.

Speaking of whimsy, the schoolchildren of the capital built this oversize portrait of the Supreme Wirdle using legos. She has put this delightful project on display in the reception hall for all to enjoy.

Beds of East Atkinos flowers line the route to a small patio overlooking the sea. The Supreme Wirdle wanted the shore left undeveloped, so its rocks and sand march right up to the manicured lawn's edge.

The "Secret Garden" is where the Supreme Wirdle will be hosting cookouts for her friends. The incredible honor it would be to eat a meal she caught herself with her own paws is so great that the mere prospect of being invited causes mass swooning.

Now that we are up by the main building, it is time to see the Palace of Wirtyplace. The structure is the largest home in the nation and was built for the staggering price of 1.63 million gold schulmonetas (each one contains 0.2344 troy ounces of pure gold, which at today's price for gold, is over US$ 675 million). It's a good things she has that much gold on hand. The furnishings, grounds and other additional costs added up to 810,000 schulmonetas. The government was more than willing to pay these costs but she insisted on paying herself, as after all it is her home.

The Supreme Wirdle thanks you for visiting her home. And she thanks you for visiting Schulmania over the past six years. She is proud of her nation's progress and encourages you to come back again and again to share in our journey.

Happy SchulmAnniversary!

Wow, six years. This must be one of the longest running MDs. Congratulations.

And what a huge update. The Supreme Wirdle has an impressive park and castle.

East Tenne: Theater District

In the ninth arrondissement, located north of the Wirdle River in the heart of the city, a magnificent gift from the Supreme Wirdle to the people of the capital serves as the focal point and as a dazzling example of the grandiose Capital Style architecture which dominates the expansive new capital. The National Theater presides over the district and is the home of the National Symphony, National Orchestra, and the National Ballet. Of course, many more fine arts are located here as well. We will explore this district over several chapters; but today, we will focus on the theater itself. Designed by Charles Garnier-Nutrisse in the opulent Capital Style, this magnificent structure is the largest dedicated arts facility in the nation.

The façade of the National Theater is adorned with golden statues, commissioned by the Supreme Wirdle and carved by renowned sculptor Augustus Saint Clawdens

We see nearby the bustling neighborhood of the ninth district, spilling out along Rue Andrew Lloyd Webber and continuing toward Calico Corners Boulevard

An interesting venue is the more intimate Oak Ridge Playhouse, located in this domed corner building at the intersection of Rue Andrew Lloyd Webber and the district's park. From the roof of the theater you get a fine view.

Opposite the Playhouse, at the other end of the octagonal Rue Andrew Lloyd Webber, sits its mirror image twin: the Grove Theater & Arts Center, where the children's theater, children's choir and the children's dance ensembles perform. And, as you can imagine, 'children' means kittens and the young of other citizens.

To recap: Playhouse on the left and Grove on the right. And that's of course the theater in the middle (in case you forgot).

As we venture through the Theater District, we find a large number of diagonal streets. This is due in part to the district's being centered around the octagonal Rue Andrew Lloyd Webber. Luckily we have every Parisian diagonal BAT ever released on the STEX and LEX at our disposal to handle such a scenario.

Of course plenty of regular intersections as well. Here we see some fine and eclectic shopping destinations.

Despite this being the nation's largest city, every effort was made to make it as leafy as possible. Feline citizens love having trees to climb and use as scratching posts as well their effective use in attracting pigeons for dinner.

The Theater District also hosts a large central park for its citizens and its many arts-minded guests. Lively Morris Park was named after one of the feline world's most successful actors – Morris, the spokescat for Nine Lives cat food. Occupying a prime spot in front of the National Theater, Morris Park is in the perfect (or, purr-fect) location to honor such a standout feline performer.

A nice and perhaps unusual touch is the wildflower meadow, a natural area surrounding a small pond. It is not sown with grass or mowed. And it is a great place to catch yourself a chipmunk for a snack.

The rectangular park stands in contrast to the varyingly diagonal streets heading off in every direction. That's quite a few diagonal buildings in that block... and virtually all different.

art128      Good idea. I had shadows off forever because my computer had issues with eternal slowness. But I have a new one which works better so I shall bring the shadows back.

wallasey   Thanks! Glad you like it. And welcome to the NCR.

Swordmaster      Glad to have you back. Schulmania doesn't have cars, so when I turn those off it turns off the sidewalk traffic too. I do try to get some livelier street scenes where I can. But doing it vehicle free is a bit of a pain. I did have greater success with streetscape vitality in some future updates though.

nas-t   Thanks. Glad to have you back and I am glad you liked the latest installment.

noahclem   Thanks! I do try to add some touches where I can. I am not so handy with lot editing so I try to make up for it in other areas.

Feyss      Thanks for coming back. I am glad you liked this one.

Yeah, same here. I can't develop a city when my shadows are on, that's why I have them off all the time. I only activate them when I'm going to take pictures.

Hi there, some of you might know me. I'm Mozart, the cat of rambuckel who introduced me in her OSITM - Interview. I think Alba has far too much focus on horses and it was high time to have a story around a cat living in a worthy surrounding! Schulmanator, you understood one of the basic things ...

art128      That is true. But Schulmania by and large does not allow cars. So when you turn off the cars you lose the sidewalk traffic as well. But I do have some closer in shots here and there with the traffic turned on but the cars cleverly hidden.

Swordmaster      Thanks! Glad you like this little green spot in the neighborhood.

Rambuckel   Mozart, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance! As a distinguished feline of international expertise, perhaps you would like to be an executive in the Bureau of Feline Affairs?

East Tenne: Performance Based

In the ninth arrondissement, located north of the Wirdle River in the heart of the city, a magnificent gift from the Supreme Wirdle to the people of the capital serves as the focal point and as a dazzling example of the grandiose Capital Style architecture which dominates the expansive new capital. The National Theater presides over the district and is the home of the National Symphony, National Orchestra, and the National Ballet. Of course, many more fine arts are located here as well. Designed by Charles Garnier-Nutrisse in the opulent Capital Style, this magnificent structure is the largest dedicated arts facility in the nation.

A Tribute

As we all know, today a gunman entered an elementary school in Connecticut and killed 26 people. There is no rational explanation for this; it is simply an act of evil. It is a tragedy that so many lives have been lost and so many families devastated by malice beyond my comprehension. As someone who works in a school, this latest incident resonates very much with me. You can't do what I do as a job; it's personal. We don't just give knowledge; we give ourselves. And regardless of whence they come, we take care of and care for all of our kids. And when things like this happen, regardless of how far away the place is, it feels very close to home. And I think of my own school and the many people who are special and important there. So I have this small tribute for those who were lost in this tragedy.

East Tenne: Around Morris Park

In the ninth arrondissement, located north of the Wirdle River in the heart of the city, a magnificent gift from the Supreme Wirdle to the people of the capital serves as the focal point and as a dazzling example of the grandiose Capital Style architecture which dominates the expansive new capital. The National Theater presides over the district and is the home of the National Symphony, National Orchestra, and the National Ballet. Of course, many more fine arts are located here as well. Designed by Charles Garnier-Nutrisse in the opulent Capital Style, this magnificent structure is the largest dedicated arts facility in the nation. Facing the magnificent façade is Morris Park, named for one of the feline world's greatest actors. This park is a welcome respite from the urban jungle of the IXè arrondissement and is a haven for artists, musicians, families and recreationalists.

That's so brilliant again! I love the Parisian atmosphere! When I think of Paris my most beautiful memory is a morning when we (a group from my school on our way to Brittany) arrived in Paris very early in the morning. The bus stopped close to Montmartre. It was about 5 a.m. and the first cafés and bakeries were just opening. Montmartre was lying in the morning mist. The streets were nearly empty. We climbed all the stairs to Montmartre and had an overwhelming view over Paris from there. After enjoying that view we got ourselves a coffee and some fresh croissants. It was just brilliant. And somehow your pictures remind me of that moment ...

Mr.Lin   Thank you. Glad to have you here.

sunv123   You are correct. I was counting only those at the school. Such a terrible event and totally senseless.

rambuckel   Awesome! I am glad my work brought you back to a happy memory. And now I am hungry for a fresh Parisian croissant!

Dantes      Thanks for coming by. The park is not Parisian in nature because the city is not intended to be a Paris clone, just inspired by it. I wanted it to be a contrast and break up the built space.

East Tenne: Outdoor Theater

District IX in the national capital is the Theater District, known for its opulent theater and its signature outdoor space—Morris Park. These two spaces' purposes often intersect in the realm of outdoor theater. Plays, concerts and various family friendly performances often join sporting events and family gatherings in various sectors of the large park. Recently, a student group from Highland View School came to the park to enjoy a day of culture and fun. We can see a sampling of their adventure from the photographs they took on the trip. Let's see what the kids have been doing...

This chapter is dedicated to the victims of Sandy Hook Elementary School. Please click on the sample picture below to see the full update.

East Tenne: Feline Quarter

The second arrondissement of the national capital, adjacent to the Royal Quarter, is the Feline Quarter. The Feline Quarter is the home of the magnificent Bureau of Feline Affairs palace, which serves as the administrative headquarters for BFA activities in Schulmania and its colonies. The district centers around this landmark and its extensive gardens, but contains far more than just a palace. The bustling and densely developed district will be explored in multiple updates, as we stroll the palace grounds, amble along the Riverwalk, marvel at the plethora of cultural and economic amenities, and enjoy the ambiance that only a feline capital can provide.

The densely populated district has many short diagonal roads near the BFA compound. Altogether, they make use of every single Parisian diagonal BAT ever published in the LEX/STEX. That's right, not a one has been left out of District II.

This is the Bureau of Feline Affairs Palace, the centerpiece of the district and one of the foci of national power in the nation. From here, Governor-General H. J. Franciflora and his staff administer the nation's feline affairs. The international headquarters of the BFA is located in The Wirdleplex. The palace sits amidst luxurious gardens. The grounds are known as the Jardin des Felines and remain open to the public during business hours.

At center on the top floor is the Governor-General's office. He has an inspiring view of the town and the beautiful gardens. I wonder if that distracts him from his work. I think I'd be gawking at the surroundings all the time and not get any work done. But of course, I am sure he is more focused than am I.

The Royal Protectorate of Harar is administered by the Bureau of Feline Affairs and ruled by Queen Vera. As the population is mostly engaged in traditional feline culture, much of the government's functions are carried out here, at the Royal Embassy of Harar. Queen Vera, when not in her palace at Lake Felis or at the BFA headquarters in The Wirdleplex, often works from the embassy here in the capital. This suits her well, as she can be closer to her husband, Chancellor Mooky, who is often in the capital.

The Royal Embassy of Harar is next door to the BFA compound and is the only embassy in the capital. There are consulates in District VI, but non-BFA nations' embassies are in Friendsville, on the other side of the Tenne River.

Let's take a stroll through the magnificent Jardin des Felines. Designed by famed feline landscaper Fredrick Meow Olmstead, the garden consists of two distinct sections: rambling gardens along the front and sides and a formal, geometric section in the back, fronting the river.

On a sunny day, picnics aplenty fill the lawns

One of the signature features of the Feline Quarter is its waterfront. The south shore of the Wirdle River has been developed into a park- the Riverwalk. Riverwalk Park is the nation's first attempt to develop a shoreline as a recreational area. Usually, these places are left natural to encourage wildlife and preserve water quality. The BFA decided to use the minimally invasive technique of building walls along the shoreline to add space for strollers and fishers without compromising the river. Since its inception, the Riverwalk has been a huge success with the locals. The concept is sure to be reproduced elsewhere.

You can head downstairs to the waterline to fish. The national fish, the catfish, is plentiful and pan fries excellently.

As you can tell, Olmstead did a fine job marrying the Riverwalk to the formal gardens. Truly, his impressive work is meritorious of an award. And he has received a medal from the BFA for his efforts.

The Riverwalk continues to surprise as we stroll its length. Around every bend we find monuments, pocket parks and special features.

We have barely started to see what the Feline Quarter has to offer. Across the street from the BFA palace we find St. Sylvester's Square, home of the golden domed church of the same name. St. Sylvester Puddytat is one of the most popular figures in the feline world and his ravenous spirit is celebrated in many places.

The church is flanked by huge bronze statues. This one is of Dr. Kannopenner, inventor of Fancy Feast.

The church's dome uses over 10,000 ounces of pure gold and is a blinding sight at the right time of day. Sunrise and sunset, the effect is dazzling and not to be missed.

To conclude our tour of the Feline Quarter, we will see some wider view of different parts of the district. But, if you think we are finished exploring this amazing sector of the capital, think again! It will take eight full chapters to see all that is here. So, sit back and enjoy!

Busy streets are lined with thriving shops and offices, many of who specialize in feline supplies. Ossie's Scratching Post, the premier feline outfitter, has several locations here in the capital.

Nice work there, although the water mod isn't really my thing. I like the waterside, although my usual qualms are still valid overall: not many people, no traffic, no shadows. Seeing how much you're plopping, it wouldn't hurt to run those lots through LE and stick some people props on there. And some traffic generators can help if there is no real traffic.

East Tenne: Fabulous Felines

The second arrondissement of the national capital, adjacent to the Royal Quarter, is the Feline Quarter. The Feline Quarter is the home of the magnificent Bureau of Feline Affairs palace, which serves as the administrative headquarters for BFA activities in Schulmania and its colonies. The district centers around this landmark and its extensive gardens, but contains far more than just a palace. The bustling and densely developed district will be explored in multiple updates, as we stroll the palace grounds, amble along the Riverwalk, marvel at the plethora of cultural and economic amenities, and enjoy the ambience that only a feline capital can provide.

ENGRAVED PRINTS OF THE SCHULMANIA CAPITAL

From the workshop of famed printmaker Albrecht Meöwer...

Schulmania's feline artists have a reputation for innovation, ingenuity and for outstanding quality. The Admiral Museum of Fine Arts features a wide variety of feline artistry, including the world's largest collection of prints by universally-acclaimed engraver Albrecht Meöwer. Meöwer rose to fame doing prints of scenes of small town life. Later, he visited the new national capital and completed a set of immensely popular engravings of various areas of the city. Here's a few of his prints of the Feline Quarter...

East Tenne: Nyan Cat Vision

The second arrondissement of the national capital, adjacent to the Royal Quarter, is the Feline Quarter. The Feline Quarter is the home of the magnificent Bureau of Feline Affairs palace, which serves as the administrative headquarters for BFA activities in Schulmania and its colonies. The district centers around this landmark and its extensive gardens, but contains far more than just a palace. The bustling and densely developed district will be explored in multiple updates, as we stroll the palace grounds, amble along the Riverwalk, marvel at the plethora of cultural and economic amenities, and enjoy the ambience that only a feline capital can provide.

A young feline visionary, Rainbow Poptart Nyan (known to his friends as "R. P." or just "Nyan Cat" for short), has recently arrived in the Feline Quarter. He wanted to speak to the BFA High Council about his grand scheme. What could possibly motivate this gray kitty to travel hundreds of meows across a war zone just to share his vision? Let's find out what he has planned. And, if he has his way, it will forever transform Schulmania.

Let's follow along on Nyan Cat's plan to transform the feline world...

He arrived at the waterfront on a small passenger boat. He missed the ferry because he was too busy looking up in the sky and daydreaming, so he missed the ship. He paid a fisherman 20 purrs to bring him here.

He spent quite a while flying paper airplanes off of the edge of the Riverwalk, carefully noting the trajectory of each. He was very methodical in his observations and note taking.

His best planes which went the farthest went in a long arc pattern, reminiscent of a rainbow's shape. The best couple got stuck in the ivy and he had to carefully climb down to retrieve them.

He went up and down the Riverwalk, tossing planes and taking notes. Kinda unusual for a park-goer on a nice sunny day...

Eventually he got thirsty and stopped by a refreshment stand to get some assorted beverages. Since he was daydreaming and looking skyward as he walked across the plaza, he dropped several of his small bottles and they fell, spilling on his notebook. The paper was now stained with a rainbow pattern of fruit colors. Not really an auspicious start, eh?

He was going to leave the waterfront to look for a shop selling notebooks. But he instead turned around and decided to use the rainbow stained pages to make new paper airplanes. He was delighted with the rainbow going across the sky as he threw each plane. His vision started to coalesce.

East Tenne: A Garden Stroll

The second arrondissement of the national capital, adjacent to the Royal Quarter, is the Feline Quarter. The Feline Quarter is the home of the magnificent Bureau of Feline Affairs palace, which serves as the administrative headquarters for BFA activities in Schulmania and its colonies. The district centers around this landmark and its extensive gardens, but contains far more than just a palace. The bustling and densely developed district will be explored in multiple updates, as we stroll the palace grounds, amble along the Riverwalk, marvel at the plethora of cultural and economic amenities, and enjoy the ambience that only a feline capital can provide.

You can stroll all day along the length waterfront park. It stretches the entire length of the district. And you can't get lost, since all you need to do is walk in the opposite direction to get back to where you were. You could walk backwards instead, but that might prove awkward...

East Tenne: Island Sanctuary

The Royal Quarter, home of the magnificent Wirtyplace, also contains many government buildings, prominent businesses and some special places. The district comprises of the south bank of the mouth of the Wirdle River as well as two islands within the very narrow delta. The smaller, easternmost island is Robin Island, a private sanctuary for the Supreme Wirdle. It is connected to the palace complex by a bridge to the south and to the north bank by another bridge. The island is given over mainly to an elm grove and walking trails. There is also a small chapel on the site to allow for reflection and mediation. The island is one of her favorite spots and it reminds her of her birthplace across the sea in Wirt. Not only are there some nice climbing trees but there are also plenty of pounceables waiting to be caught.

The chapel sits in the center of the island. The only other built items on the island would be a pair of Babalonia style obelisks flanking the bridge to the palatial Wirtyplace complex.

The Supreme Wirdle can go to the rocky shore to look for fish. But she does not like getting her paws wet, so she more often just sits on the rock to enjoy the sun.

East Tenne: The Woodlands

The 12th District of the capital is a largely residential area. Located in the northwestern corner of the National Capital Area, The Woodlands is a low density development, essentially a suburb. It is best known for the distinctive tree-filled park which inspired the district's name. The circular park's boundary road connects the five main roads of the neighborhood. One, West End Boulevard, serves as the connector between the capital and the regional capital of Roane-Anderson, not too far to the west. One of the more upscale roads in town, Queens Road, runs northwest from the park and is lined with many nice homes. Let's take a trip down Queens Road and see what they have to offer.

East Tenne: 50 First Dates

The second arrondissement of the national capital, adjacent to the Royal Quarter, is the Feline Quarter. The Feline Quarter is the home of the magnificent Bureau of Feline Affairs palace, which serves as the administrative headquarters for BFA activities in Schulmania and its colonies. The district centers around this landmark and its extensive gardens, but contains far more than just a palace. The bustling and densely developed district will be explored in multiple updates, as we stroll the palace grounds, amble along the Riverwalk, marvel at the plethora of cultural and economic amenities, and enjoy the ambience that only a feline capital can provide.

So, you found someone you like. And, you finally worked up the nerve to ask them out. And they said YES! Now, to find the perfect first date for you. And the Feline Quarter is here to help. It's hard to think of a place better suited for meeting, mingling and sparking romance than the luxurious-yet-personable second arrondissement. While there's way over 50 fun things to do in the Feline Quarter, we'll pick a few of the best spots for a first date. So, next time you pass a note which reads: "Do you like me? Check yes or no" you will be ready to go when the answer is yes!

Take that special someone over to the luxury Tabby Boutique. You don't even need to buy anything (after all, that would be a bit awkward for a first date) just browse the exotic luxury goods from all over. One of my favorite places is the Collars With Bells Department on the third floor. It's amazing just how many melodious sounds the little bells can make. And it's nice to see the ones with jewels and filigree/

The plaza in front of the Veterinary Science Institute has both a great view of the waterfront and the gardens but also a variety of street vendors and performers.

Ever wanted to watch a cat breakdance? You can here! Mimes? Got 'em! White cats standing still like statues? Yep, you guessed it. Barbershop quartets? Of course! Caricature artists? Plenty. Novelty cat bobbleheads for purchase? Certainly! It's also a place for flash mobs. I don't know where the students of the VSI got the idea to start flash mobs. But they do like to have them now and then. Not too often, since it's like herding cats to get them all out there and doing something...

No cruise today? How about taking your new friend bowling? There's a new alley at ground level in the Feline Activity Zone Building. There's a gym on the second floor if you want o get really active.

East Tenne: Holy Quarter

The third arrondissement of the national capital, the Holy Quarter, occupies the northern end of an island just east of the Royal Quarter. This area has the highest concentration of churches in the nation, including the National Cathedral and St. Felix, St. Heathcliff, St. Garfield, and the Shrine of the Savory Salmon. The capital's city hall is located in the Holy Quarter, facing the city's largest park. The district is bisected by the largest urban park in the nation. There's a lot to explore in the Holy Quarter – arts, culture, music, food – so let's get started.

We start with the iconic Church of St. Felix. The church sits astride a plaza overlooking the water near the Monastic Order of St. Francis.

St. Felix has both spectacular stained glass windows and an impressive carillon. The bellringer, Clawsimodo, is widely regarded as the best in the business.

The plaza by St. Felix is part of the more extensive Seaside Park. This park lines the district's coastline and offers great vistas of the city on one side and of the Tenne Sea on the other. There are many gathering places along the way. In a warm sunny day, the place is packed with happy citizens.

Swordmaster     LOL. Great to know that the Dutch enjoy feline art!

Dantes      Thanks. We do have boats but I don't show many because I need older looking boats and we have so few of them.

Eldaldo   Thanks for coming by. Actually, it is a river, so we can't have too many boats in it. I have only one old looking boat to use. I'd like some clipper ships and such to do more with the water.

benedict   Thanks! And we have more views of the capital which I hope will silimarly inspire as we continue our exploration of the area.

vortext      Thanks! I am glad you liked the last few updates. And I know what you mean about the cat videos. They have addictive qualities...

Swordmaster   Thanks! The street life is a tradeoff with hiding cars. Cats do not like cars. Cars tae them to the dreaded v-e-t!

East Tenne: City Hall

The third arrondissement of the national capital, the Holy Quarter, occupies the northern end of an island just east of the Royal Quarter. This area has the highest concentration of churches in the nation, including the National Cathedral and St. Felix, St. Heathcliff, St. Garfield, and the Shrine of the Savory Salmon.

There's a lot to explore in the Holy Quarter – arts, culture, music, food – so let's get started.

You know they say "you can't fight city hall," but who would want to do so? Not here in the capital of Schulmania. The massive, palatial Oak Ridge City Hall dwarfs the buildings around it and overlooks the city's signature park – Myers Park – named for cat food magnate Oscar Myers, who donated the 150,000 gold schulmonetas to build the massive park.

Time to visit City Hall. I hear today the City Council is discussing a new ordinance regulating the placement of public scratching posts. This should prove interesting...

There's also plenty of landscaping to add a touch of nature to the plazas on each side of the building

Let's take a look at the building itself. Designed by the renowned Carlos D. Bussy, the landmark structure is built upon a base of Wirdilian (black) granite, which is an unusual feature for public buildings in Schulmania. But, there is no such thing as too many tributes to our beloved and purry leader. Speaking of which, there's a winding staircase which leads from the tower through the base of the statue to a small observation deck. You can look out of her eyes upon the city. Now how's that?!

Across The Promenade-West (the avenue in front of the building) sits Myers Park. A clever feature which has become very popular is Golden Pond. There are multiple 'parks within a park' in the massive central park. Golden Pond features paddleboats; great for a lazy sunny afternoon.

East Tenne: Instagram Vacation

The third arrondissement of the national capital, the Holy Quarter, occupies the northern end of an island just east of the Royal Quarter. This area has the highest concentration of churches in the nation, including the National Cathedral and St. Felix, St. Heathcliff, St. Garfield, and the Shrine of the Savory Salmon. The capital's city hall is located in the Holy Quarter, facing the city's largest park. The district is bisected by the largest urban park in the nation. There's a lot to explore in the Holy Quarter – arts, culture, music, food – so let's get started.

Today, we are going to look at one our tourist's photographs of the city. Recently, Miss Evelyn Tigerlily, a charming tabby cat living in Schulmanidad, Wirdleonia, took a vacation to the capital. She has a lovely home overlooking Parque Ernesto in Schulmanidad, but her spirit of adventure was calling her. She wanted to go to the capital to see its great marvels and perhaps get an audience with the Supreme Wirdle. So, this is sort of a working vacation.

When she got back, she posted these photos of her trip. And it was nice of her to invite us to her home to see them. And it was even nicer that she baked us cookies. Lots of cookies. She also has catnip tea. I think I'll make mine a double. So, let's see her previous memories!

She visited City Hall and met with the mayor. The Supreme Wirdle was unavailable to grant her an audience. But the mayor was fascinated with her proposal to install a fiber-non-optic cable system to transmit messages across town. Here's her plan:

East Tenne: Myers Park

Cat food magnate Oscar Myers donated a wagonload of gold schulmonetas to fund the creation of the capital's largest public park. And being a modest fellow, asked that it be named after him. The park, located in the city's third district, is a wonderful civic space. It is home to a variety of formal and informal spaces, sports and recreational sites and is one of the most popular gathering spots in the city. It is in the heart of the Holy Quarter and is bordered by such important landmarks as the National Cathedral, City Hall, Sardine Square, Ecclesiastic Library and more. The park's boundaries are The Promenade, a wide boulevard encircling the open space.

The park has two main sectors, divided by Park Avenue. To the north is The Lawn, which is open space with statuary and a reflecting pool. It runs from Park Avenue to the cathedral and is a popular spot for outdoor concerts. The southern sector is larger and includes athletic fields, formal gardens and natural areas. Some smaller features include Golden Pond, where paddleboats are often scurrying about, and the Secret Garden, a garden-with-a-garden popular for small outdoor weddings. We will venture here often in our tour of the National Capital Region. Let's start now by seeing some of the amenities of this fabulous feline park.

A wide view of the park helps us orient ourselves. This is the lower section, viewed from the northwest. We see City Hall sitting prominently along The Promenade, across from Golden Pond. Natural areas serve as a buffer between the park's entry points and the massive formal gardens in the center.

The largest feature in the upper section, The Lawn, is the reflecting pool. It includes a greenhouse conservatory with exotic plants from across the nation. This includes of course samples of savory varieties of feline favorites like catnip and silver vine.

Park Avenue separates the upper and lower sections. Multiple pedestrian bridges prevent park goers from having to deal with carriage traffic.

The park's designers thought that leaving a natural buffer between the formal center of the park and the edges of the city would help to break up the space and to add to the secluded, natural feel for those in the heart of the gardens.

East Tenne: The Citadel

Government offices are located throughout the capital. Many of the most significant ones are located in the Royal Quarter and the Feline Quarter. But, all of those government offices and institutions which don't require the Supreme Wirdle's daily oversight need somewhere to be as well. Many of them and concentrated in the fourth and fifth arrondissements. District IV is known as The Citadel, as it contains a large building which sits upon a hill just like a citadel in the times of yore. In this initial trip into the fourth district, we will see several government buildings and their environs, all centered on a lovely green square. Despite the concentration of government buildings, the area is no urban wasteland.  There are seven government clusters in the district. Today, we will see the cluster around Clark Square, which is where many educational institutions are headquartered.

By the way, I'm willing to bet that EG&G McMuffin makes breakfast.  That would be my guess.

Schulmanicus: Royal Wedding

As the Royal Wedding approaches, the bride to be, Baroness Christi of Pyy, prepares to depart from her home to go to the National Cathedral for the big day. This special event is being marked by a four day paid holiday weekend for all workers in Schulmania; a wedding gift to the nation from the Supreme Wirdle in honor of the wedding. The townsfolk in Pyy are preparing a great sendoff for their ruler as she departs by yacht from the port to arrive in the capital in time for Saturday's wedding.

East Tenne: The Paperboy

Tony just got his first job! After school, he rides his bike home and gets his snack. And then he starts his job. Yes, he is employed even though he's still a kitten. What does he do? He's a paperboy, delivering the local newspaper to his neighborhood. And he's excited; he earns one gold schulmoneta per week plus tips! Now that's some good spending money for a kitten his age.

It seems like every town has a place called 'Five Points.' And the national capital is no different. Here, Promenade South intersects with Seminary Avenue and Salmon Road West and Salmon Road East. Let's check this area out and see how it compares to some of its pentagonal cousins elsewhere...

Welcome to Five Points!

Let's take a look around. This unusual intersection is crowned on two of its sides by the Mookimian Seminary. A mixed use development, Triangle Terrace, is across the street from the seminary and is operated as a joint venture between the seminary and Cat Head Industries. There's also stately Harper Hall, a performing arts center, on this stellated crossroads. To orient you better, Seminary Avenue divides the twin seminary buildings. Promenade South separates the seminary from Triangle Terrace. Salmon Road East and Salmon Road West are the diagonal streets.

Triangle Terrace consists of shops and residences in a mixed use development. The residences are for seminary students. The shops are managed by Cat Head Industries, which takes care of the business side of things so the seminary can focus on seminary stuff. Cat Head Industries makes 10% on the leases the businesses sign to be in the development.

East Tenne: National Zoo

By popular demand, the city's mayor has decided to open a zoo. The National Zoo is the first large scale zoological park in Schulmania. Located in the Sixth Arronidssement of the capital, the zoo occupies a wooded parcel midway between the main diplomatic complex and a large creekside residential area a bit to the south. If everyone is good during our trip, we'll all stop by the gift shop on the way out!

East Tenne: Paper Pushers

Government offices are located throughout the capital. Many of the most significant ones are located in the Royal Quarter and the Feline Quarter. But, all of those government offices and institutions which don't require the Supreme Wirdle's daily oversight need somewhere to be as well. Many of them and concentrated in the fourth and fifth arrondissements. District IV is known as The Citadel, as it contains a large building which sits upon a hill just like a citadel in the times of yore. A large cluster of government facilities centers around Clark Square. This cluster is devoted to education and culture. There are other clusters scattered through the Government Districts. Executive and legislative offices are in the Royal Quarter, proximate to Wirtyplace.

The Fine Arts Council sponsors artists of all types and administers museums and cultural facilities across the nation. Performing arts and musicians of all sorts are subsidized by the FAC. Feline opera is always a popular selection with the general public.

Now, you might be concerned about the state of feline education due to the English spelling of lolcat speak. But, fear not. Felines spell well in their native languages.

East Tenne: Holy Places

The third arrondissement of the national capital of Oak Ridge is called the Holy Quarter because of its high concentration of large churches. We have seen a few of these already. Now, we will see all of the major churches and ecclesiastic structures in this district. Of course there are plenty of smaller religious structures as well. These featured here are the most noteworthy for the visitor to the capital. So, come along and see the highlights of the Holy Quarter.

East Tenne: Riding the Rails

In the very southwest of the capital city of Oak Ridge sits the nineteenth arrondissement, Pellissippi West. Named for the island offshore which now holds the Gilded Quarter (District XVI), this district sits in perhaps the most remote location in the National Capital Region. But, that does not mean this area is isolated. Au contraire, mon frère! Quite the opposite. This sector has been set aside for transit infrastructure and for industry. One of the foci for the area in the master plan approved by the City Planning Office is establishing a rail hub for the capital. A main rail station, Pellissippi Central, has been built. Lines lead out toward several other planned stations in the capital as well as out toward other cities in Tenne. At present, there is service to the regional capital of Roane-Anderson and the nearby towns of East Village and Robertsville.

The station is the center of the district's street life but is not in the geographical center of the area. About half of the western side of Pellissippi West has been reserved for other transit infrastructure. So, the residential, commercial and industrial zones are clustered closer to the train station.

Across the street from the main station is a civic plaza, Edwards Square. The plaza is a great gathering spot for locals and train passengers. It is lined with commerce of all sorts, including a major hotel and a shopping mall. If you are waiting to make a train connection, why not slip across the street to the square and get a bit to eat and enjoy the scenery?

Place Duchardt is a commercial plaza adjacent to the train station. On the corner is Hunt's Grill, which specializes in freshly caught game. You can even pounce on your own game and bring it in to be cooked. Head Chef Asher "Potato Smasher" Young says "If you can pounce on it, I can grill it!" The manager does ask that you call to make reservations if you catch a brontosaurus, as they take a while to cook...

The local church in Pellissippi West is St. Samuel's. Located just a few blocks west of the train station, this church is both one of the binding agents of the community and one of the most active community involvement organizations in the neighborhood. Additionally, the sanctuary features an impressive pipe organ. The pipes were cast in solid sterling silver by famed music manufacturer Stradimeowius. The silver pipes make an impressive sound.

Here I am on the Riverwalk in the Feline Quarter, eager to sample some of the new exotic goods being imported in to Schulmania. A recent trade agreement with Myon has led to new flavors of Fancy Feast being imported.

Fancy new scratching posts have been imported from Port Matthew too. Ossie's Scratching Post, Schulmania's premier dealer of clawing accessories, now carries both domestic and imported scratching posts.

My advisers are now collecting recommendations for the official flowers and trees of the three newest Schulminion regions: Hornisse, Mookimia and Mookimian Verà. If you would like to have input into the selection process, you may submit your recommendations here with the guidelines listed below:

1. For each suggested species, provide the common and scientific name as well as a picture.
2. Hornisse requires selections which are native to temperate,mountainous areas in the mid-latitudes
3. Mookimia requires selections which are native to areas including (but not exclusively limited to, but similar to)northeastern or northwestern USA, eastern or southwestern Canada, UK, France, Ireland, Benelux, Australia (non tropical), New Zealand
4. Mookimian Verà requires selections which are native to colder climes, including (but not exclusively limited to, but similar to)Canada, central Europe (includes Germany, Switzerland and Austria), Scandinavia, Russia north of 55 degrees north
5. Each selection requires an explanation why it would be a good choice for a feline nation

In the event that two or more recommendations are accepted, a vote will be held to make the final selection. In the event of one accepted recommendation, it will be approved summarily. If no recommendations are accepted, the regional governments will announce their arbitrary choices. Entrants may offer recommendations for the official tree and/or flower for one or more regions. Multiple recommendations per entrant are accepted, but we request that multiple entries be restricted to one tree and one flower per entry. If it is helpful, see this link for the official trees and flowers for established regions: http://www.schulmania.info/exclusive_files/xcl015.htm (http://www.schulmania.info/exclusive_files/xcl015.htm)

East Tenne: Nyan Airlines

First, there was a vision. (Click http://community.simtropolis.com/journal/698/entry-19793-nyan-cat-vision/  (http://community.simtropolis.com/journal/698/entry-19793-nyan-cat-vision/)to see the aforementioned vision) The visionary, one Rainbow Poptart ("R. P." to his friends) Nyan had the vision, but not the resources, to make feline history. The Bureau of Feline Affairs granted Nyan Cat money to design a feline flying machine. But now, he had to find a way to put his invention into production. For that, he turned to the international feline conglomerate, SchulmaniCorp. The CEO, the Archduke of Schulmanicus, was willing to invest in a factory in the capital's industrial district. But, fledgling Nyan Airlines needed investors and strong leaders with technical and business acumen. Nyan Airlines got off the ground (Get it? Hehehe!) when Nyan Cat joined up with avionics expert Dr. Steven Pilot and industrial pioneer Michael Vinawasho.

The Board of Directors of Nyan Airlines

Together, these guys have brought feline air travel from drawing board to reality. From this grand plan, Oak Ridge will become the new hub of a new airline. Time to visit Feline Capital International Airport (FCIA)!

FCIA is located in the National Capital Region's 19th arrondissement, Pellissippi West. The airport itself is located on the very southeastern edge of the capital, just off of the perimeter road, Outer Drive. The airport is accessed by Ed Wescott Boulevard, named for Schulmania's first feline pilot.

Wescott Blvd.  leads to Alvin Bissell Drive, which provides access to the terminal, support services and hangar.  Bissell Drive is named for Alvin Bissell, Schulmania's first feline to break the sound barrier in our new military jets.

The airport's hotel and restaurants are hosted in the Bill Wilcox Plaza, named for the inventor of the tuna-based aviation fuel Nyan's planes use. The refined tuna oil is prized both for its fuel potential and its taste!

Now that we've met everyone, it's time to see some planes.

Flanking the intersection of Wescott Blvd and Bissell Drive (left to right above) are the Minnie Reel Customs Hall (left) and Crisp ProForce Center. ProForce, the umbrella "protective forces" of Schulmania's police, fire and medical squads, provides airport security.

International passengers will arrive at the terminal and then be processed at the Customs Hall. Schulmania does not issue passports, as the government considers them unnecessary. The Bureau of Feline Affairs grants entrance to all felines regardless of nationality. Non-felines will be evaluated by officials for suitability.

Bill Wilcox Plaza hosts the airport's hotel and food court as well as additional retail and services for passengers. The plaza is adjacent to the terminal. Both structures were designed by famed feline architect Fred Imhotep, as was the hangar building.

Schulmania celebrates its seventh anniversary on Simtropolis with a special anniversary chapter. This year, the Supreme Wirdle has something special in mind for this date: a grand feline exposition in the capital! The site selected is in the eleventh arrondissement, the Fisk Quarter. The Government of Schulmania and Bureau of Feline Affairs are sponsoring this, the first Feline World's Fair, to celebrate feline culture worldwide. Feline and feline-friendly nations are invited to exhibit here, as are feline businesses. The exposition runs between now and the end of the year. We will see some of the expo site today and more as the year goes on. There are more exhibit halls available for feline-friendly nations; they are welcome to contact the Diplomatic Office if they would like to be represented.

Let's get your ticket and begin exploring the expo site!

We will arrive at the Expo Station rail terminal located on the north side of the fairgrounds. The fairgrounds are encircled by Exposition Boulevard and connected to the rest of the Fisk Quarter at several major intersections. The road layout is fairly symmetrical in this part f town, so to help orient you, remember these key landmarks: Expo Station is at the northern end of the fairgrounds and the Midway Plaisance is on the northeastern corner. The BFA and Schulmania Promenade is on the west side and the natural recreation areas are to the south.

Ticket booths in the station provide an easy way to enter the fairgrounds prepared and ready for sun!

Let's go to one of the entrances. Luckily, we got our tickets at the train station, so no lines for us. Tickets cost two purrs each, but many businesses sponsoring the expo are offering them free to their customers. Feline National Bank is offering free tickets to any customer making a transaction this during the expo, limit four per transaction. SchulMart has a buy one get one free special on tickets in its capital area stores as well.

The largest exhibit hall was built for the host nation, Schulmania. Schulmania Hall has a massive array of feline cultural and historic and technological displays sure to enchant any visitor. Additionally, the regions of Schulmania have their own exhibit halls to highlight aspects of their unique areas as well. Amongst the many fascinating things to see and do are the Supreme Wirdle's favorite fur comb and her collection of royal collars. And if this is not exciting enough (we know it is – this is hypothetical...) there's the World's Most Climbable Curtains and the Mechanical Mouse Pounce-A-Thon. Truly, there's something for everyone! Let's see Schulmania Hall!

One of the highlights of Expo 2013 is its signature architectural piece: The Wirdlesphere. This observation tower (complete with snack bar and gift shop) is Schulmania's Eiffel Tower. The observation deck is reached by a lift powered by many hamsters in exercise wheels. The windows are tinted with 24K gold, emulating the golden paw of the Supreme Wirdle. This architectural gem was designed by Expo 2013's lead architect, Sir Matt Trois-Vingtcinq. A ticket to go up is only 1 purr. Let's do it!

I fully enjoyed my visit, it gave me a wonderful picture of this great nation. The drinks were slightly expensive but the quality of the food available made up for that. I was welcomed pleasantly and transportation to the event was easy albeit a bit busy. Some of the displays were fantastic

And, as usual, Home is not motivated at all to get off the couch...

So, he stays behind on the couch to watch football and the rest of the family prepares to go to the World's Fair! The family heads to the airport after picking up a few pals for Bart to hang out with. They'll fly Nyan Airlines to Schulmania. Everyone is so excited! Especially after they see this commercial in the airport lounge:

The excitement is mounting! Finally, the plane leaves Springfield's C. Montgomery Burns International Airport headed to Schulmania. Bart, being naughty, has a secret plan: he and his friends will use the fake ID he made at Patty and Selma's DMV office to rent a car and ditch his family for a fun-filled afternoon of Kwik-E-Mart runs and Broadway shows... we'll see if his plan works!

Bart is distraught to find that there are no cars to rent, since the capital is a motor vehicle free zone. His sour disposition is reflected in how he had the fair portrayed on his show:

East Tenne: Open Spaces

The third district of the national capital, the Holy Quarter, is best known for its high concentration of large religious structures. But there is more to the area than just that; it also houses some of the largest open spaces and parklands in the city. Myers Park is the largest urban park in the nation. Seaside Park runs along the western shore of the island from the edge of the district to the Cathedral Woods area. Cathedral Woods is a large undeveloped space occupying the northern tip of the island.

East Tenne: National Cathedral

Today, we visit the National Cathedral, which sits at the end of Myers Park, the nation's largest urban park. The cathedral is flanked by the Ecclesiastic Library and the Sacred Music Hall. Behind the cathedral is undeveloped space – Cathedral Woods. This forested area comprises the northern tip of the island. National Cathedral first gained prominence during the 2013 Royal Wedding. Prince Excalibur has declared the cathedral to be the site for future coronations for the Kingdom of Tenne.

East Tenne: In Triplicate...

Government offices are located throughout the capital. Many of the most significant ones are located in the Royal Quarter and the Feline Quarter. But, all of those government offices and institutions which don't require the Supreme Wirdle's daily oversight need somewhere to be as well. Many of them and concentrated in the fourth and fifth arrondissements. District IV is known as The Citadel, as it contains a large building which sits upon a hill just like a citadel in the times of yore. A large cluster of government facilities centers around Clark Square. This cluster is devoted to education and culture. There are other clusters scattered through the Government Districts. Executive and legislative offices are in the Royal Quarter, proximate to Wirtyplace.

Today, we traverse the district looking for signatures on a form (to be filled out in triplicate, of course) permitting Dr. Joshua Vaughan Bell, M.D., Esq., to establish a new medical college in New Arlenes. Dr. Bell, Schulmania's most famous physician, is best known for performing the first paw pad transplant in history. He has recruited several renowned medical professionals and instructors, including Dr. Aidan Jacobs, inventor of the whisker graft, and Dr. Drew Drews, pioneer in hairball prevention research. These three have developed a proposal and have found a great site in New Arlenes, which currently has no medical training facility anywhere near it, ready for development.

Back on track... and headed to the Fine Arts Council building. There, the Deputy Assistant Undersecretary for Waiting Room Décor will have to sign off on the design plans.

The official was taking a nap after having spend hours looking out of the window (I know, it is exhausting, isn't it?) So the doctors headed over to the mall to get some catnip to motivate him to get with the program and sign off on the décor.

Back to the Fine Arts Council building. After having the first signature, the group went upstairs to the office of Justin Morley, the Junior Adjutant for Background Music Reviews to get authorization a jaunty Meow Mix theme song remix to be used as the background music for the school's classrooms. Luckily, this signature was easy to get.

Over to the Education & Literature Commission Office, where the legal paperwork for the college will be filed. Interim Undersecretary of College Registrations Cindy Jackson was unavailable (she was in a meeting to watch squirrels out of the window and thus too busy...) so there was a delay.

The trek to get to every government building and get signatures was well underway. Nine signatures were needed altogether. The most elusive signatures were those of Dr. Nicholas Sullivan, Director of Veterinary Services, and  Zachary Mason, Chairman of the Collegiate Review Board. Mr. Mason was chasing butterflies on the roof and it took forever to find him...

East Tenne: School Field Trip

The kids at Cat Head Middle School in Vaunmax, Mookimia are super excited! Their school won the contest sponsored by SchulmaniCorp to bring in cans of Fancy Feast for the troops for the holidays. The kids at Cat Head brought in the highest per student average in the nation – a whopping 119.7 cans per student. As the winners, the whole school won a free trip to the capital! The kids have their teachers as their chaperones and each group will start at a different spot and rotate through them as the trip progresses. They have never been far from their hometown, so the dazzling big city of Oak Ridge will surely impress and delight!

Chaperone Group 1: Miss Clawsworth's Class
This group of kids is starting off at Myers Park, the nation's largest urban park. They will tour the National Cathedral and explore the park itself. Of course there will be some frolicking in the park as well! They will then rotate to the next site.

East Tenne: Townsite

The capital's fifth arrondissement, Townsite, is a government district along the coast, overlooking the government-heavy fourth arrondissement, The Citadel. Most of Schulmania's main government facilities are located within these two districts, giving the area the "Government Quarter" moniker. Today, we start our tour of The Townsite with the Nepeta Square environs. Nepeta is the scientific name for the national flower, catnip. Nepeta Square is the home to the Catnip Comptroller's Office, or CCO. The CCO ensures the quality of catnip sold in Schulmania, providing inspections and quality standards. Catnip is not only the preferred tea for felines but also the basis for most feline medicine. Nearby is the Catnip Research Institute, or CRI. The CRI researches catnip and its properties, looking for ever better ways to improve crop yield and find new uses for catnip products. The Great Catnip Market is the largest wholesale marketplace for catnip in the nation. Think of it as the Wall Street of catnip.

East Atkinos: Downtown Abbey

Outside of the East Atkinos town of Christinburg (halfway between West Forest and the Woods of Wayne) Fleet Captain Splunt and his bride, the Baroness of Pyy, are building an estate. For some reason, they have decided to name it "Downton Abbey."

There's no telling what kind of drama may transpire at this lovely new estate. The Fleet Captain and his wife lead a very drama free life. But, when you factor in the intrigue of the servants and the guests... there's always something afoot!

A long drive leads from Christinburg to Downton. The Fleet Captain often accesses the home vy helicopter from the regional capital of West Forest. After all, with Queensferry forces entrenched along the coast, one must always be ready at a moment's notice.

East Tenne: It's A Rather Small World

Today when we visit the World's Fair, we will ride on one of the coolest rides they have! It's A Rather Small World is a miniature train ride through the history of Schulmania. And at each stop there's costumed interpreters and cool interactive exhibits. Let's head to the expo site now.

There's a fun new ride which will sweep you majestically across the centuries of feline history in Schulmania. It's called "It's A Rather Small World" because Disney has more lawyers than we do.  Care to sing along as we ride through?

Middle Tenne: Holston

Located at the headwaters of the Holston River, the town of Holston is as far west as any place in Schulmania... for now. This remote location was selected due to an ambitious project launched by Prince Excalibur and the Evean Vansop Commerce Authority. The Eveans want to establish a shorter trade route between their island nation, west of Schulmania, and their feline customers. Since the western coast of Schulmania has not been settled, Evean ships must circumnavigate the continent before arriving at Schulminion ports. Now that there are a few airports, cargo may be shipped in by air. But, of course, that aint cheap. The solution is the new Great Western Road, which will connect Schulmania to the west and the riches which await there. The road starts at Blankenship and now extends to just past Holston at the western border of the Middle Tenne District. To help defray the expense of this massive project, the Eveans have extracted a unique concession from the Schulminion government: the right to establish travel plazas along the way to provide services to and earn schulmonetas from travelers. Holston is the first such stop on the route. The town was built by the Schulminion City Planning Office and the travel plaza by the Evean consortium. The travel plaza is quite a contrast to the town; built in contemporary Evean style with consideration for Schulminion sensibilities.

Local businessman Drew McClure, half brother of Springfield's famous actor Troy McClure (you might remember him from such movies as The President's Neck Is Missing and Dial M for Murderousness), runs a strip shopping center here in Holston. Here, you'll find such familiar Schulminion favorites as the Leech Apothecary and Garrett's Clawable Couches & More. The local farmer's market, the Garden of Aiden, is named for the local farmer. He mainly grows crops to feed to prey animals but also has a wicked cool corn maze in the fall. You should try it.

East Tenne: Townsite

The capital's fifth arrondissement, Townsite, is a government district along the coast, overlooking the government-heavy fourth arrondissement, The Citadel. Most of Schulmania's main government facilities are located within these two districts, giving the area the "Government Quarter" moniker. Today, we continue our tour of The Townsite with the Nepeta Square environs. Nepeta is the scientific name for the national flower, catnip. Nepeta Square is the home to the Catnip Comptroller's Office, or CCO. The CCO ensures the quality of catnip sold in Schulmania, providing inspections and quality standards. Catnip is not only the preferred tea for felines but also the basis for most feline medicine. Nearby is the Catnip Research Institute, or CRI. The CRI researches catnip and its properties, looking for ever better ways to improve crop yield and find new uses for catnip products. The Great Catnip Market is the largest wholesale marketplace for catnip in the nation. Think of it as the Wall Street of catnip.

Pursuant to Proclamation of the Supreme Wirdle 163-11982, the Isle of Bruce Special Economic Zone Act, written 22 August 2013, the Isle of Bruce, located in the Wirdle River in the capital's first arronidissement, will be subject to certain economic development incentives and development opportunities as stipulated by the Supreme Wirdle:

After consultation with the Bank of the Government of Schulmania, the Royal Treasury, the National Capital Region Finance Office and the Bureau of Feline Affairs Privy Council, I have decided to designate the Isle of Bruce in District I of the National Capital Region as a Special Economic Zone. This decision is designed to create synergy between major feline businesses and civic organizations, each receiving economic incentives to establish and maintain a significant presence in proximity to one another. The incentives for the feline organizations are as follows:


First, any feline business or civic organization employing over 10,000 felines in Schulmania establishing a headquarters building will receive a 100% indefinite deferral of all property taxes associated with the building for as long as the structure remains fully occupied and engaged as the headquarters for the petitioning entity. Should the headquarters building be abandoned or become secondary to the petitioner entity, the taxes will become due with interest.


Second, necessary utilities for the daily operation of the headquarters buildings will be paid by the local government indefinitely, provided that the petitioner maintains the status of the building as stipulated above,


Third, these incentives are available only to feline owned companies operating in the Feline Realms (Schulmania, Harar and Leeviousia) unless special dispensation has been granted to a petitioner by my designee, the Royal Treasury of Schulmania.


Fourth, subject to design review and approval by the City Planning Office, there will be no restrictions imposed upon the aforementioned headquarters buildings in terms of height or style.


Fifth, the Transit Office is hereby authorized to construct and maintain as many bridges of whatever configuration it deems necessary to facilitate and expedite the full development of the Special Economic Zone. The costs of construction and maintenance will be paid by the Royal Treasury and not passed on to local government or businesses in the Special Economic Zone.



With these words, the Supreme Wirdle set forth a level of commercial development hitherto unseen in all of the Feline Realms. And now, to fulfill the destiny of Schulmania.

There are 5 bridges crossing the Wirdle River through the Isle of Bruce. The East Tenne Avenue bridge crosses the island, connecting the north and south shores. The 13th Street Bridge connects to the south shore and the 14th Street Bridge to the north shore. Melbourne Bridge faces west but connects to the south shore of the Wirdle River. There is also a ferry terminal on the island. Now to enter the bustling isle.

You might think the island is small and can't have many amenities. But you would be wrong-o! There are several parks as well as museums, theaters and other attractions. And of course, a collection of buildings which dwarf those therwise built in Schulmania. Let's see what I am talking about.

As can be seen in these typical shots from around the island, much of the Isle of Bruce looks like the typical Schulminion city and the other districts of the capital.

East Tenne: Thrilla in Schulmanilla

We're headed back to the Isle of Bruce in the Royal Quarter for an exciting sporting event. It's time for the Thrilla in Schulmanilla! The boxing match of the year! We are headed to the Wildcat Den, the arena located in the heart of the busiest part of the business district. The arena is the home court of the reigning MLY (Major League Yarnball) championship team: the Atomic Kittens. There's always something cool at the arena. Tomorrow there's a concert by Fluffy and the Pouncers!

2014 State Visit to Belize and Guatemala

The Government of Schulmania and the Bureau of Feline Affairs are pleased to announce a high level state visit by a feline delegation headed by Archduke Bower and Princess Ava to our feline friends and constituents in Belize and Guatemala in July 2014. The visit to Central America is sponsored by the Feline Trade Council, the Bureau of Feline Affairs High Commission for International Feline Affairs and the Bureau of Feline Affairs High Commission for Feline Culture and Heritage. Why Belize and Guatemala? This area is the heartland of the Mayan culture. The Mayans are a pro-feline society  whose contributions to science and culture are manifold and enduring. Let's see how feline have been celebrated in Mayan culture.

Here's what Wikipedia has to say about the jaguar in Mesoamerican society: The representation of jaguars in Mesoamerican cultures has a long history, with iconographic examples dating back to at least the mid-Formative period of Mesoamerican chronology. The jaguar (Panthera onca) is an animal with a prominent association and appearance in the cultures and belief systems of pre-Columbian Mesoamerican societies. Quick, agile, and powerful enough to take down the largest prey in the jungle, the jaguar is the largest of the big cats in the Americas, and one of the most efficient and aggressive predators. Endowed with a spotted coat and well adapted for the jungle, hunting either in the trees or water, making it one of the few felines tolerant of water, the jaguar was, and remains, revered among the indigenous Americans who live closely with the jaguar.

Integration of the jaguar into the sacred and secular realms of the Maya is proven in the archaeological record. The Maya, whose territory spanned the Yucatán Peninsula all the way to the Pacific coast of Guatemala, was a literate society who left documentation of their lives (mostly the lives of the aristocracy) and belief system in the form of bas-relief sculpture on temples, stelae, and pottery. Often depicted on these artifacts are the gods the Maya revered and it is no coincidence that these gods often have jaguar attributes. As stated earlier, the jaguar is said to have the ability to cross between worlds, and for the Maya daytime and nighttime represented two different worlds. The living and the earth are associated with the day, and the spirit world and the ancestors are associated with the night. As the jaguar is quite at home in the nighttime, the jaguar is believed to part of the underworld; thus, "Maya gods with jaguar attributes or garments are underworld gods". One such god is Xbalanque, one of the Maya Hero Twins who descended to the underworld, and whose entire body is covered with patches of jaguar skin. Another is God L, who is "the primary lord of the underworld" and often is shown with a jaguar ear or jaguar attire, and atop a jaguar throne. Not only is the underworld associated with the ancestors, but it also is understood as, where plants originate. In addition, the Maya's source of fresh water comes from underground pools in the porous limestone that makes up the Yucatán, called cenotes. These associations with water and plants further reinforce the notion of the jaguar as a god of fertility.

The jaguar is further associated with vegetation and fertility by the Maya with what is known as the Waterlily jaguar, which is depicted as having water lilies sprouting from its head.

No doubt, the jaguar's brilliant coat made it quite desirable, however, not all were allowed to don the jaguar pelt as it became the identification of the ruling class for the Maya. Not only did Maya kings wear jaguar pelts, but they also adopted the jaguar as part of their ruling name, as a symbol of their might and authority. One such ruling family to incorporate the jaguar into their name is known as, Jaguar Paw, who ruled the Maya city of Tikal in the fourth century. Jaguar Paw I was ousted by central Mexicans from Teotihuacán, and it was not until late in the fifth century that the Jaguar Paw family returned to power. Other Maya rulers to incorporate the jaguar name include, Scroll Jaguar, Bird Jaguar, and Moon Jaguar, just to name a few (Coe 1999: 247-48). In addition to the ruling class, the jaguar also was associated with warriors and hunters. Those who excelled in hunting and warfare often adorned themselves with jaguar pelts, teeth, or claws and were "regarded as possessing feline souls".

Archeologists have found a jar in Guatemala, attributed to the Maya of the Late Classic Era (600-900 AD), which depicts a musical instrument that has been reproduced and played. This instrument is astonishing in at least two respects. First, it is the only stringed instrument known in the Americas prior to the introduction of European musical instruments. Second, when played, it produces a sound virtually identical to a jaguar's growl. A sample of this sound is available at the Princeton Art Museum website.

East Tenne: Cemesto District

The Cemesto District, the 8th arrondissement of the National Capital Region,  is a primarily residential working class neighborhood located south of the Wirdle River and a short commute to the heart of the capital. The main road through the district, Calutron Boulevard, links up with two of the main thoroughfares in the city - East Tenne Avenue (District I) and Wildcat Turnpike (District VI). Though comprised primarily of low to medium density housing with a commercial strip the Cemesto District, several substantial parks give the residents great gathering places.

One of the interesting features of the area is a park with ornamental flowers. Sounds rather ho hum, doesn't it? The catch is this: these are special flowers. Glowing flowers, to be precise. Not so creatively named "glowflowers" the scientific name for them is Plutonium floridae. So, be sure to see them at night when you visit Plutonium Park!

These are the only flowers to emit their scent electromagnetically

Don't worry about it being hazardous. These flowers use a subatomic particle not hugely dissimilar to a muon. These particles, meowons, are the only EM waves known to induce purring. The scent, if you were wondering, is kind of a salmon-gardenia aroma... very popular amongst the felines!

If you think Plutonium Park is pretty in the day, come back at night. Its glow is good enough to allow for pouncing on all sorts of nocturnal prey... and has a lovely ambience perfect for strolling!

Cemesto Park is much smaller. It still has glowflowers. Alevon Hall Apartments overlook the park and have very reasonable lease terms.

East Village Church is the largest of three churches in the district. The fine cut stone facade was designed by the architectural firm of Moriarty, Holmes & Watson, located on Baker Street.

Commercial activity is concentrated along a sharp curve along Calutron Boulevard. A retail development, The Manhattan Projects, provides many goods and services to the community. Some of the stores include Oppenheimer Optical, Fermi Lab Supply Depot, Werner's Flowers, Szilard Home Goods, and of course Frisch-Zazzles Boutique.

The Manhattan Projects is a great place for shopping and for fine dining. Three restaurants add to the draw of this retail complex. The Brown House Pub (above, on the corner with the turret) is quite popular, as are both Da Wabbit (fine rabbit-based cuisine) and Snow White and the Seven Sardines (seafood at its fishy best!).

As the unofficial end to summer looms this weekend everyone wants to get one more day of fun in the sun. And, where else would one want to go than the Midway at the Feline World's Fair Park? Located in District XI of the National Capital District, the Midway has something for everyone. That is, until football starts up!

East Tenne: The Countess Arrives

The Feline District is the home of the Bureau of Feline Affairs Palace, making it one of the foci of the feline world. BFA-alleviated agencies and governments have offices here and processions of dignitaries are a common sight in the streets around the second arrondissement. The procession of Countess Katherine II did turn some furry heads, though, as she does not often make the long trip up from eastern Harar to the capital.

She took a stroll at Riverwalk Park. She'll probably do a little fishing whilst there.

And now, on to some official business. She will be serving as the visiting ranking Harar government official to the BFA Palace and as such, will cut the ribbon at the new Harar exhibit at the Feline Heritage Center. There will be a special VIP reception at the gloriette in the park next to St. Sylvester's after the ceremony. We're invited to tag along!

East Tenne: 400

We're headed back to the Isle of Bruce in the Royal Quarter for a special occasion. Schulmania Volume 3 (http://community.simtropolis.com/journal/698-schulmania (http://community.simtropolis.com/journal/698-schulmania)/) is celebrating its 400th chapter today. I am still surprised that Schulmania has gone on as long as it has. Eight years and still half of the region map has not even been terraformed yet...

The Isle of Bruce is a special economic zone located on one of two large islands in the middle of the Wirdle River. Both islands are part of the first arrondissement, District I of the National Capital Region, the Royal Quarter. The Supreme Wirdle's palace is on the south shore of the river not far away from the tallest buildings in the nation. The island is connected to both sides of the river with multiple bridges. Four of the bridges are shown below.

Special lectures, exhibits, and other events will be hosted on the campus of the University of East Tenne - Oak Ridge (UETOR). Professor Hall will give a lecture about the significance of the number 400. Dr. Bell will present a paper on the evolution of Schulmania on Simtropolis. Dr. Franginstein will give a talk entitled "It's Alive! SimCity 4 in 2014 and Beyond." Professor Real McCoy will host a symposium to share research giving insight into how to develop chapters 401-500. Looks to be a real hoot! And there's free refreshments in the lobby!

I am still surprised that Schulmania has gone on as long as it has. Eight years and still half of the region map has not even been terraformed yet...

:o Onward to the next eight years it is!  %BUd%

East Tenne: Putting Justice to a Vote

Government offices are located throughout the capital. Many of the most significant ones are located in the Royal Quarter and the Feline Quarter. But, all of those government offices and institutions which don't require the Supreme Wirdle's daily oversight need somewhere to be as well. Many of them are concentrated in the fourth and fifth arrondissements. District IV is known as The Citadel, as it contains a large building which sits upon a hill just like a citadel in the times of yore. A large cluster of government facilities centers around Clark Square. This cluster is devoted to education and culture. There are other clusters scattered through the Government Districts. Executive and legislative offices are in the Royal Quarter, proximate to Wirtyplace.

The aforementioned large building is destined to be the new highest court in the land. With the advent of complex business deals and general annoyances in everyday life comes a surge of litigation. Most feline justice is handled with summary dispensation of justice by members of the Protective Forces -- hissing, chasing, treeing, scratching -- but sometimes more is needed. Until recently, citizens had direct access to the highest levels of government to settle grievances. But, there's only so much justice the royal family can mete out and still have time to get stuff done. Therefore, the Supreme Wirdle has ordered a new court building to be constructed. This will be where cases not resolved by local magistrates will be referred.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi189.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fz141%2FSchulmanator%2F2014%2520Default%2F70-1_zps0c628a0b.jpg&hash=b3e91495f7531cf7f62fa0818f50d53b51bd996e)
Right now, the lawyers assemble at the Lionel Hutz School of Law at the southern base of The Citadel. The campus is at lower left in the picture above.

The Board of Elections has a small building at the end of the boulevard. There are not many elections in Schulmania, so the need is not there for a larger structure. The Supreme Wirdle's decree states that the name of the new court will be put to a vote of the citizens - a reFURendum, if you will. See what I did there?

You are cordially invited to cast your vote for the name of the new court. A sample ballot follows. To vote, simply reply with the name or number of your selection. Be sure you don't double post... but, you can vote as often as you like. The results WILL be binding. And then soon we will see the new highest court of the land!

Central Mookimia: Christmas 2014

The Central Mookimia District hosts several towns and is bisected by a large, strategic body of water. A rocky outcrop, the Schloßberg, houses a castle. The castle, Katzenschloß, is the seat of power for the district government. And it's pretty cool too. The governor has a home and office in the castle and most government functions for the district are conducted here. The Mookimia Turnpike offers transit connections to the port of Purkeyluo to the north and Franzikoi District to the south as well as direct east-west travel across the region. Doi Agaa is a cluster of homes and businesses surrounding the Schloßberg.

This year's holiday special shows the scenic town in winter. The more northerly location of the city and its distance from large bodies of water gives it a colder winter than most places in Schulmania. You can count on a white Christmas here!

East Tenne: The Academy

The leafy residential area known as The Woodlands is the capital's twelfth arrondissement and a great place to live and raise a litter of kittens. In addition to a fine neighborhood school there is also a private school - Big Orange Academy - or, "The Academy" for short. Not just anyone can get in.

A statue and some fancy-schmancy gates mark the entrance to the campus. The road into the campus is named John Ward Lane, in honor of the school's founder, Sir John Ward.

East Tenne: What Can You Get For 400K?

The Cemesto District, the 8th arrondissement of the National Capital Region,  is a primarily residential working class neighborhood located south of the Wirdle River and a short commute to the heart of the capital. The main road through the district, Calutron Boulevard, links up with two of the main thoroughfares in the city - East Tenne Avenue (District I) and Wildcat Turnpike (District VI). Though comprised primarily of low to medium density housing with a commercial strip the Cemesto District, several substantial parks give the residents great gathering places.

One of the interesting features of the area is a park with ornamental flowers. Sounds rather ho hum, doesn't it? The catch is this: these are special flowers. Glowing flowers, to be precise. Not so creatively named "glowflowers" the scientific name for them is Plutonium floridae. So, be sure to see them at night when you visit Plutonium Park!

These are the only flowers to emit their scent electromagnetically

Don't worry about it being hazardous. These flowers use a subatomic particle not hugely dissimilar to a muon. These particles, meowons, are the only EM waves known to induce purring. The scent, if you were wondering, is kind of a salmon-gardenia aroma... very popular amongst the felines! Sounds like a fun place? You betcha! And, now you want to know how you can move in? Great!

East Tenne: Hall Of Justice

Government offices are located throughout the capital. Many of the most significant ones are located in the Royal Quarter and the Feline Quarter. But, all of those government offices and institutions which don't require the Supreme Wirdle's daily oversight need somewhere to be as well. Many of them are concentrated in the fourth and fifth arrondissements. District IV is known as The Citadel, as it contains a large building which sits upon a hill just like a citadel in the times of yore. A large cluster of government facilities centers around Clark Square. This cluster is devoted to education and culture. There are other clusters scattered through the Government Districts. Executive and legislative offices are in the Royal Quarter, proximate to Wirtyplace.

The aforementioned large building is destined to be the new highest court in the land. With the advent of complex business deals and general annoyances in everyday life comes a surge of litigation. Most feline justice is handled with summary dispensation of justice by members of the Protective Forces -- hissing, chasing, treeing, scratching -- but sometimes more is needed. Until recently, citizens had direct access to the highest levels of government to settle grievances. But, there's only so much justice the royal family can mete out and still have time to get stuff done. Therefore, the Supreme Wirdle has ordered a new court building to be constructed. This will be where cases not resolved by local magistrates will be referred. The highest court of the land hears cases in the Hall of Justice. We will check out this area of District IV today.

The East Tenne Bishopric Office sits in the square and is surrounded by pleasant grounds.  Bishop Neilson presides over the most populous see in the nation and has his offices right in the heart of the largest concentration of religious edifices in the nation. We will see the bishop make his rounds about the Holy Quarter today.

Bishop's Square meets the city at an airy plaza running from the street to the entrance of the Bishopric Office. It's a great gathering spot and a fun place to relax and drink your catnip tea.

A hidden gem is the Arch of Schulmanicus, nestled in the green space behind the office

Bishop Neilson has a tranquil setting for his official business, quite a contrast to the bustling cityscape just beyond his front door

Baxlep Department Store is just down the street. It has a wide range of goods for just about everyone. And, it has a mitre aisle on the second floor, ensuring the steady business from the bishop.

St. Felix is one of the signature religious structures in the Holy Quarter and enjoys a fabulous waterside setting next to Seaside Park. The bishop is coming to preside over selections for the new chancel choir. Competition is going to be tough!

If you don't want to wait for the four hours of tryouts, why not slip over to Seaside Park? I am sure the food vendors will have something fun. And maybe we can get a kite! Wheeeeee!

East Tenne: Get Wild

It's time to get wild! Let's head out to the National Zoo! Located in the heart of the sixth arrondissement of the National capital Region, the Diplomatic Enclave, the zoo has a great array of wild critters sure to amaze and delight. And, thanks to a generous subsidy from the Education and Literature office, admission is only one purr. What a bargain! Let's get wild today!

I don't know about you, but I am heading to the Fine Arts Quadrangle. The Sculpture Hall has busts of famous felines carved entirely from Fancy Feast. Sounds delish! The Textile Hall has a huge quilt crafted solely from shed fur. It's a can't miss!

Nice update! In particular I love your parks. It seems, if people hear to cats, they will get nice cities with lots of free space.  :thumbsup:

The zoo is well done also, although I avoid rollercosters, my stomach...  $%Grinno$%

Thanks A Million!

On 28 March 2016, Schulmania Volume 2 became the first thread on Simtropolis to reach one million views. To mark this milestone, the Supreme Wirdle has commanded that a special double-length commemorative chapter of Schulmania be released. It features some never before seen views of cities across the nation. And, as a onetime concession, motor vehicles will be allowed in the cities. After this, they are back to being restricted to certain small zones only. Vehicles are subject to the same stringent requirements the Transit Office put into place for our few motor vehicle zones:
1) Speed is limited to single digits only
2) Cats have the right of way at all times
3) No vehicle may be started if a cat is sleeping on it
4) No vehicle may disturb any cats, sleeping or awake, with its movement or noises
So, there will be a few vehicles out on the road today. But, don't expect traffic jams. Why won't we see the cars back again? Well, cars can hurt cats. And, cats can't drive...

And, now, our feature presentation...

We will see an assortment of pictures from across the nation. Let's start in the capital. We begin in District 1, the Royal Quarter. Here, we see what's going on in the highly developed Isle of Bruce. This special economic zone is home to many of the nation's tallest buildings and largest companies. The SchulmaniCorp Tower is one of the big three in the center of the island.

We now venture into District 3, the Holy Quarter. Here, we see a bustling area, home to eight of the largest churches in the country and a variety of cultural activities. It includes the largest urban park in the nation as well.

We head to the far west to Holston, the last stop on the Great Western Road and westernmost outpost before heading into the great undeveloped interior of the continent. As an important stop for travelers, Holston has Schulmania's first travel plaza, complete with fast food and other ubiquitous roadside attractions.
