Don't forget the units on order..

[Schulmanator 5,787]

If you are a native Spanish speaker, kindly send me a private message if you would be willing to proofread an upcoming bilingual Schulmania update. I want to make sure what I have is good before I unleash it upon ST.

Gracias

Wow, that really IS a major change...for both sides. Queensferry spending over two quadrillion (schulmonetas?) a year on its military? WOW. Where do they get all that money?

Also, it looks like the Schulminion military has been more successful than I thought, since apparently they've destroyed/captured at least:

- 250,000 armored vehicles

- 2,000 military aircraft

- 1,000 naval vessels

- 15,000 artillery pieces.

That's pretty good.

[Gn_leugim 853]

can't see picture :|

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Where does Queensferry even get all of that money? Or maybe they have a bunch of inflation?

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

I wonder if it's like Cuba or North Korea and they SAY they have all that stuff, but when it comes time for outside, independent sources to verify it... Just take their word for it, it's true.

[airman15 4,111]

I saw some reports that most NK equipment is fake, seriously outdated or so poorly maintained that they are unusable.

And I believe these reports to be true.

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Hester And we are always recruiting new personnel as well. If anyone else is interested, click [here] to apply to the military. http://www.schulmania.info/military_files/careers.htm

sNiPeHuNtEr702 You are welcome to contact the Diplomatic Office,. Check [here] for details. http://schulmania.info/index_files/diplomacy.htm

Lyhoko Leaci I have been known to occasionally explode if I eat too much too.

Hester We will reassign you there.

NMUSpidey RL doesn’t understand the importance of SC4 and ST, does it?

SimCoug It does have that effect, doesn’t it?

sim_link Thanks. Glad you like it.

emperordaniel The hazards of sentry duty are indeed manifold…

Lyhoko Leaci That’s true. But I do hope you will revive yours sometime.

nathanthemayor Chocolate flavored rain works even better!

SimCoug I will find a home for it too.

Hester It’s definitely catchy…. Perhaps TOO catchy…

emperordaniel Since he did not actually join yet, I have set him as a corporal.

Gn_leugim Indeed… let’s stroll down Memory Lane…

emperordaniel Your wish was my command!

NMUSpidey There’s definitely some changes…

SimCoug Or, in this case: the furry, the proud!

usfighter15 We eagerly await updating our fleet of balloon-assisted aircraft and meownicopters!

emperordaniel We have indeed been busy!

Gn_leugim Grrrr! I wonder why…

Lyhoko Leaci They own everything and it is a military-industrial economy with chemically-addled drone workers. They spend most of their money on military and repression.

NMUSpidey They definitely have all that; it’s about all their economy does!

usfighter15 Like the lovely rocket they had in the spring?

[Za 164]

It has probably been about two and a half years since I was last active around here: I'm quite glad (though not entirely surprised) to see that you and Schulmania are still going strong.

Wirdleonian Piedmont: Santiago de los Gatos Caballeros

Princess Ava has always been a supporter of the Schulmania military and has been in several battles herself. She felt compelled to do something special for veterans who have completed their service and been honorably discharged. She decided to follow the ample she read about the Roman legions founding towns and have veterans receive their own town as a reward for their service. Princess Katherine quickly approved the idea and a site was selected in the Wirdleonia Piedmont District, southeast of the regional capital of Robinia.

La Princesa Ava siempre ha apoyado el ejército de Schulmania y ha ido a varias batallas. Se sentía obligada a hacer algo por los veteranos que ya habían terminado su servicio y se habían licenciado con honores. Decidió seguir el ejemplo que leyó sobre las legiones romanas que fundaban ciudades, cuyos veteranos de guerra eran recibidos en su ciudad como recompensa por sus servicios. La Princesa Catalina apoyó la idea rápidamente y seleccionó un lugar adecuado en el Distrito de Wirdleonia Piemonte, al sureste de la capital regional de Robinia.

A little music while you read…

The town will be named for the noble soldiers who served so valiantly – Santiago de los Gatos Caballeros

La ciudad llevará el nombre de los nobles soldados que lucharon con valentía – Santiago de los Gatos Caballeros.

The centerpiece of the town is the massive church, Iglesia del Nuevo Cibao

El edificio central de la ciudad es la imponente iglesia, Iglesia del Nuevo Cibao.

The church fronts a small plaza with a flag at its center, a reminder of a grateful nation

La iglesia está situada enfrente de una pequeña plaza con una bandera, un recordatorio de la nación agradecida.

The church is surrounded by homes and businesses, one of which is Chicken King. Roads lead toward Robinia and to The Wirdleplex.

La iglesia está rodeada de casas y negocios, uno de ellos es el Chicken King. Las carreteras llevan hacia Robinia y el Wirdleplex.

All homes are free to veterans, who also can choose to live off their generous pensions or to open their own businesses, supported by a special grant program for entrepreneurs

Todas las casas son gratis para los veteranos de guerra, que además, pueden escoger entre vivir de sus generosas pensiones o abrir sus propios negocios, financiados por un programa especial para emprendedores.

Quite a few military personnel have decided to head here

Un buen número de militares han decidido establecerse aquí.

Near a cluster of homes is the food processing facility owned by Chinola Maracuya, the famous chef

Cerca de un núcleo de casas se sitúa la planta de procesado de comida, propiedad de Chinola Maracuyá, el famoso chef.

A lovely villa overlooks the church. It is specially equipped for cats who have lost more than six lives. Specialized care is onsite and they are held in the highest esteem.

Una preciosa villa con vistas privilegiadas de la iglesia. Está especialmente equipada para gatos que han perdido más de seis vidas. Allí se les proporcionan cuidados especializados y se les tiene en una gran estima.

A block east from the church is the town’s market, Mercado de Macoris, offers a wide variety of goods and a lovely café.

A una manzana al este de la iglesia se encuentra el mercado de la ciudad, el Mercado de Macorís, que ofrece una gran variedad de productos y una acogedora cafetería.

To the west are shops, homes and the school on the corner

Al oeste hay tiendas, casas y la escuela en la esquina.

The Military Support and Housing Agency operates the town’s municipal services from this building next to the square. Across the street is the distinctive salmon and white form of the town’s cultural center

El Soporte Militar y la Agencia de la Vivienda operan los servicios de la ciudad desde este edificio al lado de la plaza. Al otro lado de la calle, se encuentra la llamativa forma de color salmón y blanco del centro cultural de la ciudad.

A variety of homes overlook the church

Una gran variedad de casas con vistas a la iglesia.

The charming Mission Higüey can be found here as well, nestled between homes

La encantadora Misión Higüey, se encuentra aquí, casi oculta entre las casas.

The church’s belltower can be seen from far off and is the town’s distinctive icon

El campanario de la iglesia se puede ver desde muy lejos, y es un icono distintivo de la ciudad.

Behind the municipal and cultural centers, the road toward The Wirdleplex heads southward

Detrás de los centros culturales y municipales, la carretera hacia el Wirdleplex lleva al sur.

Calle San Cristobal leads west from the church toward Robinia

La Calle de San Cristóbal lleva al oeste desde la iglesia hacia Robinia

Of course, who would want to head out of such a nice town just yet?

Por supuesto, ¿quién querría irse ya de un pueblo tan bonito?

Princess Ava is very proud of how the town turned out

La Princesa Ava está muy orgullosa de cómo ha quedado la ciudad.

The church is very long and thin, which makes for a very nice plaza around it

La iglesia es muy larga y estrecha, con una bonita plaza a su alrededor.

This town’s Chicken King has a special feature this week: Chicharrones de Pollo!

El Chicken King de la ciudad tiene una oferta especial esta semana: ¡Chicarrones de Pollo!

Please come visit Santiago de los Gatos Caballeros, the town with the longest name in Schulmania, again soon!

Vuelvan pronto a Santiago de los Gatos Caballeros, la ciudad con el nombre más largo de Schulmania!

NOTE: Special thanks to TekindusT, who graciously assisted in perfecting the Spanish translation of this chapter. ¡Muchas gracias!

[emperordaniel 1,281]

What a pleasant little town here. I wonder how many veterans have already moved here?

[SimCoug 5,973]

Mmmmmm.... Chicharrones de Pollo!

[vivapanda 422]

Seems like the translation worked out!

Unique town, I've never seen such a church ever before

[Ying Blanc 85]

looks very awesome and I love the Church, ain't seem it's type before.

[RipRap 4,400]

Oooh Love it

[Hester 699]

This was a wonderful update and I am grateful that Tekindus T assisted you with that translation.

[Mithrik 562]

As a latin american, I approve this entry as a very well done job.

Excellente trabajo, Schulmanator.

Excellent job, Schulmanator.

[Gn_leugim 853]

but no! that's Clerigos Tower and Church from Porto City! I.. no.. it is... portuguese, not spanish

XD

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Gn_leugim, YOU MEAN PORTUGAL AND SPAIN ARE DIFFERENT? OMG!!!!!!!!

[Hester 699]

LOL at Spidey!

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Looks good, can't wait for more!

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Guess where I will be tomorrow morning...

Summer is officially over!

[emperordaniel 1,281]

Hey, I thought summer doesn't end until September 22?

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

It already ended for me on August 22nd.

[Gn_leugim 853]

Gn_leugim, YOU MEAN PORTUGAL AND SPAIN ARE DIFFERENT? OMG!!!!!!!!

Ofcorse they are.. Portugal as beaten Spain some times already! as you can see in this picture, IN COLOR!

Now seriously, we have, that's a drawing of Aljubarrota's battle, where we kicked some Spanish aXX XD

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Ah, then my history teachers did not lie to me. Who do you think was the best Portuguese explorer? I'll think you're cheating if you say Magellan.

I was at school today! I was helping the speech contest kids! And then I got a tooth pulled. Summer's over, baby! Although I suppose if you're south of the equator it has yet to begin...

[Gn_leugim 853]

gosh, your school starts early, here only starts mid September lol. well, my gf will start her college lessons on 11th sept.

Now, my favourite navigator.. well, never thought it that way, I mean, having one better than the others, because each single one pushed the frontiers of the unknown, and all are heros and great man for archiving that. Not an easy task to face uncharted waters, believed to be spamming with sea serpents, mermaids and other monsters. If I am to be fair, I cant say one is better that the other, so I can't set a favourite I say

And no, your teacher didn't lie, we, Portugal, were a great country/kingdom. We had one of the largest colonial empire (the third one after UK and Spain if I am not wrong), and ultimately, one of the largest empires in Man's History. We fought many times and we never surrendered or lost (apart from WW1, but then we were not the same anymore). We fought Spain in the middle ages and we won, we fought Napoleon latter, three times, and we won. *sigh* how great we used to be... and now we are so tiny, led by incompetents into ruin

Yeah, the Japanese school year actually starts in April and finishes in March, but summer vacation is from the last week of July until now.

I've seen pictures, Portugal is still a beautiful country with much to offer the world. Things get better then they get worse then they get better then they get worse ad infinitum until the end of time. I am certain that if you talk to many people from many other countries around the world they'll share your concerns about their own countries, too.

[Benedict 3,119]

That is a church of unusual dimensions - you have managed to make it fit well in its surroundings, which I don't think is an easy task.
