Schulmania

[Schulmanator 5,787]

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...

To mark this special occasion, the Royal Mint has issued gold tokens, like this one:

These 14K gold tokens are being given away as a promotion by SchulmaniCorp, one of the corporate sponsors of this special edition. A limited edition of 1,000,000 (naturally!) has been produced and is now being distributed in specially marked boxes of cat treats. Get yours today!

This special edition of Schulmania is brought to you in part by

Promotional consideration has been provided by

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.

Let's now venture into District 4, The Citadel, home of the Hall of Justice and other legal institutions.

District 12, The Woodlands, is a quiet residential section of the capital.

Freels Bend, the capital's 19th district, is home to the airport and one of the four main rail stations.

Let's leave the National Capital Region and see what else is going on in Schulmania for the big event! First, we head west to Blankenship, a multimodal transit hub found in Middle Tenne.

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.

Now, let's head south... way south... to the far southeast of Schulmania. In the Provincia District is Jamestowne, a cute little city founded just one year ago. Even in such a new town excitement for the million views anniversary is high!

We now venture from the far southeast to the far north... to Kolibri, capital of the northernmost region of Schulmania. Spring has barely sprung this far north, but the excitement level is warming it up fast!

We round out our tour of Schulmania with a visit to Robinia, capital of the largest region of Schulmania, Wirdleonia. Situated in the heart of the Southlands, Robinia is the country's second largest city.

PARTY TIME!!

PS: For the record, I am and have been extremely displeased with the latest version of forum software. It has been sluggish and tedious to handle. I am having increasing difficulty getting things to post correctly. I have tried six times to get this post to show pictures correctly. I get all sorts of script errors and in the CJ section, the view counts are no longer correct. In case you are wondering why you see less of me here these days, it is because of the frustration of using the site in its current configuration.

It took half an hour of editing to make the forum software happy, but I FINALLY got the update to post! Enjoy!

[RipRap 4,400]

Congrats on the huge achievement! I'm pretty sure it would be a feat that could not be beat

Also, nice update. Everyone seems to have a party Lol

[jmsepe 2,038]

OMG! One MILLION views! it's time for some party! 

[Hester 699]

I am so sorry about that forum software and that it is so difficult to work with.  Any chance whatsoever that it will be adjusted some how?  You cannot be the only one who is frustrated. Surely. 

[philforhockey51 4,211]

Something incredible I see. Seven figures... can it be???


And indeed it is, for all to see.

Congratulations, Schulmanator!  Schulmania is the cat's meow, with beautiful seamless building districts which give the region a cohesiveness not often seen.  Not to mention, it is a very entertaining place.  It's no wonder you've gotten one million views with this high level of quality.  With that said, let's party!

[Compdude787 916]

Wow! Congrats on getting a million views.

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Congrats on a million views!

Not often that you see skyscrapers in Schulmania... or cars, for that matter.

Ooh... construction waffles...

[wwetom1 831]

Wow, 1 million views. First ever on SimTrop. Absolutely insane. A true testament to the work and dedication you have to this. 

 

ST wouldn't be ST without Schulmania. It feels like it's been here forever, and it is fitting for it to be the first thread with 1 million views. Congrats on this HUGE milestone!

[MattHecker 42]

I have a question:
how will you get petrol in Schulmania?
or are they steam powered, like the trains?

1 with 6 zeros afterwards views, yeah for cat city!

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

PM will export you gasoline!  Environmentally-friendly mixtures to help propel your newly mobile population!  We have several green blends that we make that add little in the way of toxins into your atmosphere.

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Spring has sprung in Schulmania!!

 

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Yay, greenery!

Also plenty of potential prey for the kitties to pounce on and play with!

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

I love how the green has been creeping upwards along the roads on my drive home from work.  I leave too early to see anything, though.

[Schulmanator 5,787]

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Hey, did you hear that the Baroness is renovating her quarters? The Noewhere Palace in Pyy is getting an upgrade!!!

 

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Renovations?

Do they include plenty of elevated walkways along the walls and various things to climb?

[Hester 699]

I would love to meet the Baroness!  LOVE that skirt! 

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Various places to climb are nice and all, but I'm looking forward to various places to stretch out and take a nap!

[jmsepe 2,038]

That's some nice news from Schulmania! Oh wait, did they use taxpayers money for the renovations?
