Schulmania

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Looks like something massive walked through the zoo and left paw prints...

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Uh-oh.  I hope they are feline-friendly canines.  Friendly canines are the best canines.

 

I love to read the responses and then try to remember just what it was that I posted.  Sometimes I remember, but most of the time I can't and have to go back and check.

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Our canine citizens all acknowledge the Supreme as their ruler and obeyher commands...

 

 

 

They even have their own regiment in the military to fight against Queensferry!

[SimRico 968]

Heh-heh!  Sorry Schulman! 

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Never doubt the ferocity or fighting spirit of the feline!





The feistiest felines are ready to defend our nation!

Neue Steiermark: Cave Canem

The District of Neue Steiermark is located in north-central Schulmania, along the border of Imperial Mookimia and Mookimian Verà. The name was selected after the inspiring 2011 State Visit to Terra Canis (click HERE to see its namesake in Austria). Easy river access allows for transit west and south to secure areas for distribution across Schulmania. The Veràn capital of Kolibri is a short distance away on the other side of the river, allowing for adequate supplies and resources to maintain the military outpost and its support facilities. In this new transit hub a substantial investment has been made. Investors from Evean Vansop (click HERE to see more on this topic) from Feasty Foods have opened up a full scale cat food cannery and other cat food production facilities. The site they have selected is inland, along the Fresca River on Imperial Mookimian border and close to the city of Kolibri. The locals were not super excited that the company’s real estate agent was a dog. Thus, the site’s name became known as “Cave Canem”.
 







The new district’s countryside

The new city of Cave Canem will be quite different than the typical Schulminion city in several aspects. First, it is an industrial city. We don't really have those. Also, the material of choice for construction is predominantly local brick. This lends a distinctive hue to most of the structures in town. Red brick is definitely the 'in' color here. With a few thousand well paying industrial and support jobs, Cave Canem has been attracting plenty of new residents. To accommodate the influx, new and taller residential buildings have been built. This despite the fact that Cave Canem has actually elected a dog as mayor - a Schulmania first.
 

Mayor Smokey has proven to be a very capable leader for Cave Canem
 

We start with the industrial home of Central Mookimia Can Fabricators, Inc. CMCF makes the cans for the cat food canned at the Fancy Feast cannery.
 

The Fancy Feast factory is the biggest building, and biggest employer, in town
 

 

The Fido Feline Church is a distinctive red brick structure. In the spirit of canine-feline solidarity, the church was named for both groups. Services are bilingual in Meow and Bark.
 

A bridge connects Cave Canem with Kolibri across the river to the west. The peninsula is also just across the river from East Kolibri to the south.


 

The tallest residential structure in the nation to date is here in Cave Canem. Notice our citizen in the middle of the street. This is why we ban cars: too many feline like to go in the street and we don't want them to get hurt.
 

The industrial heart of town
 

 



 

Residential areas of Cave Canem and the happy residents
 

A small castle by the bridge is the home of PROFORCE, the Protective Force, which includes police and fire protection as well as veterinary service
 

Tartar Control Pounce is produced in this factory and is a highly prized commodity
 

 

The Ossie Scratching Post Works produces quality posts of all types for the national chain Ossie's Scratching Post
 

SlantiCorp produces things which are slanty or diagonal. That's a pretty broad category. But, they do specialize in slantiness and diagonality.
 

Want to shop some local retailers? Try Tailchaser Corners. Specialty shops like Schriefer's Hardware, Tonraq Market, Rico's Specialty Outfitters, Huston's Mass Effect Spectrometers and More,  and Ben's Lists & more have great stuff to meet your every need and want!


 

[JP Schriefer 5,590]

Cool, big update.

[SimRico 968]

hey!  I  KNOW SMOKEY!  He's TOP KAT.. i meant  DAWG!

 

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Oh thank god, I'm fluent in bark.  My meow's a bit rusty, and the cats here in Japan speak a very odd dialect of it that's difficult to catch at times.  Very pretty place, as always!  I like the higher density, it's very cool amidst all the green!

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

I wonder if Meow is mutually intelligible with Ŋyau/Ncyaw, the Myonian version...

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Lyhoko Leaci    Perhaps a Schulmanisaurus rex?

NMUSpidey    All of our canine citizens are members of the Wirdle's Canine Council - a group of loyal canines who follow the teachings of the Supreme Wirdle and gladly wag their tails to serve their fellow feline citizens.

SimRico        Now we know "who let the dogs out"!

Schriefer    Thanks! Glad you like it.

SimRico        LOL

SimRico        I just had to do something with it. It was just too funny!

Schriefer    Thanks. Did you notice yourself in it?

SimRico        Being the mayor is a RUFF job but someone's gotta do it!

NMUSpidey    Thanks! And the surprising news is that all dialects: feline, meow, miao and cattish are virtually interchangeable. Our quadruped furry overlords are truly polyglots!

Lyhoko Leaci    Felines possess skills far beyond our understanding. They can all understand their own dialects, regardless of from whence it originates, or even from when it originates. Jurassic Meow is still just as easily understood as is technomeow.
 

[Benedict 3,119]

Great update - is that the first triple crossover - Schulmania, Terra Canis and Evean Vansop?

 

And technomeow made me laugh - those whippersnappers and their newfangled lingo.

[SimRico 968]

Those follow-up responses just too funny! I had to jumpbon the next A-15 flight to Oak Ridge and catch up! Hey how come i cant find 'no' Orange Julius in the mawls around here! You KNOW its a BIG ORANGE TRUH-DITION!

 

 

[JP Schriefer 5,590]

Schriefer    Thanks. Did you notice yourself in it?

 

 

Me?! Yaaay!   I had not realized that! That's nice. Because of that you now have discounts in Schriefer's Hardware

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Today Schulmania hit 700,000 visitors in Volume 2!

 

 

I'm headed to Wally World to buy us some awesome party supplies. And a very special destiny fulfilling edition of Schulmania will be released to celebrate the occasion. Be there for the par-tay!

[jmsepe 2,038]

Congratz! It is indeed party time! 

[Benedict 3,119]

Congratulations, that's amazing!

Yuuuhuu congratulations, Schulmanator!!

 

[airman15 4,111]

Congratulations on making the big 700k! And I wish you luck on your way to 800k!

Congrats to the big 7 six digit!

East Tenne: Isle of Bruce



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.

The 14th Street Bridge
 

The East Tenne Avenue Bridge, heading to the south shore and the Royal Quarter

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.
 

The Melbourne Bridge carries pedestrian and wagon traffic onto the island through scenic and woodsy Carbide Park. Carbide Park is best known for Freedom Tower and Chateau Miranda. It's also a nice wooded spot well suited to picnics, bird watching, squirrel pouncing and other fun activities.
 

Freedom Tower is a commemoration for the feline soldiers who have defended Schulmania against Queensferry. You have a great view if you want to climb to the observation deck at the top.
 

Stadtpark is another park on the Isle of Bruce. The walking trails and flowers make for a pleasant view for the residents living next to it.

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.


 

 

 

 

This dense midrise development gives way to the defining structures on the isle...

Our first stop is the campus of the University of East Tenne- Oak Ridge. UETOR has a campus right in the heart of the island. A full complement of coursework, both undergraduate and graduate, is available for students.


 

 

University Chapel also hosts the university's Religious Studies program
 

 

Meow Plaza is a nice urban gathering spot. It's a great place for urban workers to take their lunch or theatergoers to relax before or after a show.

And now for something completely different...

The Pollard Auditorium is next to Meow Plaza. It is one of the most prestigious performing arts venues in the nation. The Supreme Wirdle did the ribbon cutting and attended the first performance, Cat On A Hot Tin Roof.


As we look over the university campus, we see the crown of a much taller building. There are several large structures clustered here, thanks in large part to the special development project the Supreme Wirdle approved.
 

 

The Alexander Inn is now the largest, tallest hotel in the nation. The rooms are all suites and there are 25 concierges on staff to tend to the needs and wants of esteemed guests.
 

 

 

The new headquarters of SchulmaniCorp, the largest company in Schulmania, dominates the skyline along with two other towers
 

SchulmaniCorp, Feline National Bank and Cat Head Industries are the three largest buildings in the nation and are all together in the heart of the Isle of Bruce

[JP Schriefer 5,590]

Wow! Awesome update! The French style of the city is amazing. Well done, Schulmanator!

[airman15 4,111]

The architecture really fits the rest of the city!

[Larks2242 251]

Haha, the idea of a Walmart run by kitties is just awesome, really liking the skyscrapers!

Great Update

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

I still remember the days when Schulmania got its first bridge.  My, how things have changed!  Impressively changed!
