I couldn't find the information about the secret project! D: I iz bad at navigating.

Seems I've been promoted. Sergeant Major. Great job to the TRT. They can finally inform the Supreme Wirdle about the status of her two islands.

The Dust of Darkness on the Evil Empire...and happiness for Schulmania!! If the Felines were into StarTrek I would consider one or two Borg cubes- without getting assimilated, though, for an efficient aerial strike... Someone has to give them THIS technology...

[Dumanios 35]

I doubt the Klingons would let The Supreme Wirdle have a Borg Cube. Howzabout Klingon Battleships?

EDIT: Hey, I'm a Corporal now~!

Flag Count Coolness!

We are now up to 87 SchulmaNations! We have added Oman, Sri Lanka, Azerbaijan and Macedonia (whose flag I think is cool).Check out the FlagCounter on this page... I never thought it would get past 30 countries. I am very surprised. Here's the latest map:

Schulmania Flag Counter Compilation

Here's my wish list for new places to visit Schulmania:

Europe: Jersey, Andorra, San Marino, Bosnia, Montenegro, Cyprus, Gibraltar

South America: Bolivia, Paraguay, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana (that would complete the continent!)

Central America: Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Cuba, Jamaica, Barbados, Bahamas

Africa: Just about everything except for the three I have - South Africa, Namibia, Morocco!

Asia: Mongolia, Nepal, Bhutan, Laos, Cambodia, Papua New Guinea, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan

Elsewhere: Pacific island nations... supposedly there's Antarctica as a "country" on the internet... would love to see one of those here!

So, we need to organize a road trip to all of these paces so we can log on to ST and visit Schulmania. Who's coming with?

And now, on to the replies...

Abcvs I assume at the ready...

Hester Let's all pack our picnic baskets and head out there. I am just glad this project was started before the enemy cut off ocean transit.

lucky7 You make a good point. One's claws do need to be at maximum sharpness. And our esteemed canine guests are welcome to enjoy the trails as well. Although some of them may find the terrain in the mountainous area to be a bit... [wait for it... wait for it....]  "ruff" [insert knee-slapping guffaws here].

Leech10 Luckily, the conservation area was designated soon after the discovery and the park plans were set in motion before Archduke Bower returned with the dreadful news of the impending invasion.

wwetom1 Thanks! I am glad you liked it. More of it will be seen in future updates.

Dumanios She has a longstanding relationship with them. Anyone who has tried to bathe a cat knows they have the strength and warrior skills of 10 Klingons. The Supreme Wirdle, who weighed in at ~5.5 lbs (<3 kg) required two people to try and give her a bath (back when it seemed like a good idea...) and the result was a trashed bathroom, scratches galore and one angry kitty. More about this unique relationship with the Klingons will be explored in a future web-exclusive update on the Schulmania homepage.

Archean They only do that if you don't obey them. As the Jem'Hadar say "Obedience brings victoty". Simply obey every cat and they will never hiss/scratch. Always good to have a pouch of Pounce/Temptations/Friskies Party Mix handy in case the kitty is having a bad day too...

Sirron Kcuhc Always come prepared with treats... it soothes the savage beasts!

Leech10 True... obedience brings victory. And of course never EVER try to remove a curled up sleeping cat from the couch so you can sit down... that's a clawing waiting to happen!

Muck308 That's fine... cuteness rules and so do we! BTW, speaking of cuteness... the lady who brings the kittens to PetSmart has 4 brand new tiny little kittens... just about ~10 days old... rescued. I hope I can get some pix of those to share... that would be paw-some!

wwetom1 Only if not obeyed or when fighting Queensferry!

Leech10 The spinny globe is very fussy and touchy... usually takes 2-3 times of pasting the code in before it will show up. But its coolness makes up for its stubbornness.

lucky7 It taught US some lessons, as our boys in the lab are busy reverse engineering their technology from the samples brought back. Then the payback begins... with interest!

FreewayofFlight The technology side of things is tilted in their favor. But, military secrets are fleeting and their leaders rely on heer numbers and min controlled drones. We may be able to turn that to our advantage yet.

Hester You did well. TSW is quite pleased.

Sirron Kcuhc There's something being planned at Maxis AFB. There are clues (2 of them) in the military pages on the Schulmania webpage.

Chptrk School? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Leech10 It is crucial data... we had nothing to go on save the archduke's report... now we have much more and that can only help our defenses.

Muck308 They have indeed. Busy in a BAD way.

Archean Sgt Major, there are 2 spots in the Schulmania military pages on the website that show what we are working on at Maxis AFB. But they are not on the Briefing #5 page. Two references and one has a picture of the secret project...

lucky7 Hmmm... I wonder if the Borg ever tried to assimilate any felines. Probably not. Not enough space on the cube for a whole bunch of letterboxes and too many drones would be used as scratching posts...

Dumanios She could go for one of those!

lucky7 She did well. She earns a vat of Fancy Feast as a reward. Enjoy!

Hester There's no substitute for a Glenwood Military Academy education, is there?

[Sgt Pepper 864]

Oh my I've missed alot!

[lucky7 73]

... lol Not to mention the laughter seeing the felines chasing after the drones' *laser-pointer-eyes*

*Resistence is futile* , however...

[Follarch 326]

Is it the balloon assisted aircraft? D: I did see that but I thought that wasn't the secret project.

[Benedict 3,119]

The national park looks amazing!

[wwetom1 831]

Oman, that's alot of countries!

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Currently workshopping the next update...

Here's a hint or three:

1) A special flashback reference to some Volume 1 fun 'n games...

2) Bugg-free update...

3) Some lucky recent commenters will receive FREE homes in Schulmania,,,

So, be there or be a regular right quadrilateral!

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

2 references? Good. I found both of them.

[Hester 699]

Dang. That means I have to look..work!

Did you say one more comment? Can't wait, so let's get it over with!

East Tenne: Something for Everyone

Tellico offers something for just about everyone who visits. Its central lake offers great views and great recreation to nearly all residents in town. Etowah College offers the finest in higher education. Sequoyah Place houses dozens of fine retailers. Need inspiration? How about the stunning Tellico Cathedral? Get back to nature with watersports at the marina or along the seashore. And of course Tellico Farms provides the freshest in Fancy Feasts. So, what are you waiting for? Let's visit!

Let's start at Sequoyah Place. They're having a big sale to celebrate the upcoming Fancy Feast Daze... a weeklong festival of canned meat by-product blisss!

During Fancy Feast Daze, most stores stay open late and take at least 25% off prices. Now, that's a bargain!

Several retailers are having themed specials to go with this event. Amongst the stores cashing in on the hype and increased pedestrian traffic are these Schulminion favorites:

Truly, Sequoyah Place has something for everyone. That's why it is known as the "heart of great shopping."

You might wonder who would be coming into town for Fancy Feast Daze. Well, there's thousands streaming in from Tenne, Wirdleonia and beyond. Governor Cawale sailed in from Gran Maru to be the Grand Marshal of the parade and several drill teams from Glenwood Military Academy and the Air Force Academy marched behind her in their flashy dress uniforms.

Not just thousands of visitors, but also thousands of locals lined the streets for the parade, enjoying the marchers, festive floats and the beads and treats thrown to the crowd by float operators. Let's see some of the Tellicoans who enjoyed this grand spectacle.

No lonely hearts club band for Sgt. Pepper when the parade passes right by his house.

Sirron Kcuhc lives right across the street from Pounce Elementary School. He got a great view of the parade and the kids got free time outside to watch as well. Concessionaires sold Friskies Party Mix and the latest sinfully good carnival snack food - deep fried sardines and tuna. Every kitty's dream!

I. M .Vhozzi has the best of all worlds - a great home across from the Tellico Plaza shopping center and a fabulous view of the parade from his balcony.

D. C. Metro can get a great view from his balcony. Of course, he'll come down to the street where he can catch beads and treats as they are tossed to the crowd.

The parade ends at Tellico Cathedral. This distinctive structure dominates the skyline and is destined to appear on Tellico's coinage, which is currently being designed by mint officials. Here, an all-weekend street festival is in full swing.

The plaza between the cathedral and the baptistery hosts quite a few vendors and street performers. The plaza behind the cathedral does the same, and spills out onto the waterfront. One of the highlights of the day is the paper airplane throwing contest. Inspired by the one in Atkiniros, this one offers a 100 schulmoneta cash prize to the winner. This year, the prize was won by Claude Couch of Tellico.

Claude Couch's airplane sailed out of the campanile and over the octagonal marble baptistery, traveling a record 1,163 tails before landing near the front of Sequoyah Place.

The vast parade has a meandering and circuitous route, nearly circumnavigating the city from its origin at City Hall. If you want to follow this procession, you'd better have your walking shoes on.

City Hall and the nearby Etowah College campus serve as the starting point of the procession, which travels clockwise nearly 360 degrees before ending at the cathedral.

The parade does not pass by this Chicken King, which is just north of the cathedral. That's OK, because plenty of food vendors line the route, offering everything from chicken to burgers to Fancy Feast to catnip tea smoothies.

It should be clear by now that Tellico does indeed have something for everyone.

From seaside...

...to lakeside, and everywhere in between...

Tellico has something for everyone. So, come visit us today!
