Schulmania

Provincia: Turtle Kitty

The newly formed Provincia District is o the southeast coast and near the cape and the Harar border. The first town to be built in the district is the new capital for the area, Jamestown, named for the newly-born Prince James, son of Grand Duke Splunt and his wife, Baroness Christi. Prince James has not yet assumed many royal duties, though he has been appointed an Admiral in the Royal Schulmania Navy. His command is the Second Fleet, based out of Marshall Naval Base in Otfoxx, Wirdilia, Mookimia. Let's see what else is going on in Provinicia.
 

Robinia College - Jamestown Campus presides over Wirtington Circle. The circle is where James Street splits into James Street Upper and James Street Lower.
 

The business district includes Prince's Cornet, The Jamestowne Market, and other fine retailers. City Hall is just across the street from the market.
 

At the end of Turtle Kitty Lane is the Turtle Kitty School, a fine educational establishment in its own right. A lovely park with a pond is at the end of the street. It is here turtles and kitties come together to enjoy the sun and swap stories about the good ol' days...
 

Silas Gardner Park is a great amenity for the neighborhood bounded on the north by James Street Lower and on the south by Turtle Kitty Lane. Front Street is at the left, closest to the sea.
 

By the March 30th Commemorative Arch on James Street sits the Kittenpaw Inn. It's a great place to come and relax!
 

The corner townhouse has been purchased by G Lo. G Lo is about as famous as J Lo, but for different reasons. G Lo is best known for being a cooking sensation, having founded restaurants across the country known for good food and good times.
 

Admiral Department Store and the Provincia District Government House sit on the east side of St. James Square. ProForce HQ is on the corner across the street from Admiral.

A wider view of the whole city...
 

Let's stop on Turtle Kitty Lane so we can get a snack and watch some Netflix!

Very nice work Schulm

 

I would absolutely love to see a region view from your project

[TakemeThere 5,833]

Lovey selection of buildings together with the parks its makes for a nice composition. Oh and could you tell me the name of the little church and the deep red colored building right beside it, really like those two in particular

[Benedict 3,119]

Looks like I jumped up a notch... but I don't think I'll ever catch the top 3!

[Hester 699]

What a town!  What features!  I keep thinking I have found my niche where I would like to settle when the war is over but this may be my final choice.

[Schulmanator 5,787]

How about a little fresh air and catnip wine?

[SUPERMESSI 294]

I liked it!

 

Schulmanator if you want i can take and give you some photos from my region here in Portugal, we have some inspirational stuff regarding vineyards (I live in Tras os Montes e Alto Douro, which has the Douro River and is part of Vinho do Porto region)

[TakemeThere 5,833]

Those cats sure look like they're enjoying the finer life, must be nice to be them

[Titanicbuff 1,262]

looks beautiful- I grew up in the San Fransisco Bay Area and this reminds me of the Napa area.

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Coming up next... a return to the far south's Aldivia District!

 

[SUPERMESSI 294]

Looking forward!

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Looks good, can't wait for more!

Catnip wine?

Aldivia: From A Distance

The Aldivia District is in the far south of Wirdleonia. Our southernmost city up to this point was Ava City. but, now, with the settlement of Aldivia, a new southernmost city has developed: Jaqfulneel. Unusual name? Yep. How did it originate? The Supreme Wirdle was visiting the City Planning Office to review the city's plans. And, while doing so, she walked across the Project Manager's keyboard (she, like most cats, likes walking across keyboards). And, what she typed became the name of the city. The city was built at the intersection of two major roads: the Trans Schulmania Highway and Catway 32. The Trans Schulmania Highway now spans the nation from southern Aldivia all the way to Mookimian Verá. Catway 32 originates at Jaqfulneel and runs east and south to the coast and new developments underway in the southeast. Let's see what this happy new town has to offer.

Jaqfulneel is quite a distance away from the rest of Schulmania, in the centered in the southern plains just north of Schulmappalachian Mountains. So, life is quiet and slow here and events are view from a distance and with some detachment. The fussing going on elsewhere is just not that relevant to the placid residents here.
 

The Feline Services Building is one of the dew places in this laid back town with lots of activity. There's always someone needing services coming in. Whiskers out of order? Easily fixed. Claws need sharpening? We got you covered. Need to vote? We have your needs met right here: http://www.limberbutt2016.com/
 

Septimo Mercado is the marketplace in the heart of Plaza Aldivia, right in the center of town
 

Plaza Aldivia is the great open gathering space in the heart of town. There's a swing music concert here later this week. The Glenn Meower Orchestra is performing their greatest hits, including "In the Catnip" and "A String of Twine."

Let's see some more of the town.
 

 

Two styles of housing: the quaint stucco of Piazza Nicoistera (above) contrasts with the higher density Tucksey Place complex
 

Got any coins to toss into Noaharan Fountain to make your wish?
 

Casitas de Juan are lovely small homes with a leafy central courtyard

The lovely corner cafe, Pollo-Fil-A, offers delightful milkshakes as well as chicken sandwiches and waffle fries.

Can you spot the Countess Center, a strip shopping center? It blends in well to the fabric of the neighborhood.
 

Feline FIFA is headquartered in the green building. It's sort of like the human game. But, the athletes are all cats and the ball is a ball of yarn. And anyone who fakes an injury to stop the clock or get a breather will be SCRATCHED! Save the drama for your mama!
 

Mission de los Gatos is a historic spot in the heart of town
 

Here's a great school for your edumacational purposes
 

Of course, you can always shop at Neiman Meowcus or Irish Corner... bring cash... lots of cash!
 

The largest church in town is San Juan de las Patas. They have a great choir!

Jaqfulneel may see the world from a distance, but aren't you glad you got to see it up close?

 

[SUPERMESSI 294]

San Juan de  las Patas? xD

 

Looks nice as always

 

Schulmi can't you post a region view?

[Belfastsocrates 1,753]

Some fantastic update there! Was good to catch up, I really liked the work you did with Silas Gardner Park and Jamestown in general, very sophisticated and British feel to it! 

[Schulmanator 5,787]

airman15  Of course. There are several species native to Schulmania.

Hester    There is no rail connection but the wagon road is right by the entrance.
takemethere    Thanks! and the entrance fee is only 1 purr!

Lyhoko Leaci    LOL. Our SecuriCats (TM) will scratch anyone trying to eat the displays!

Tonraq    It is in great condition.

Benedict    Woo hoo! Thanks. Wish there was more activity overall, though.

NMUSpidey    You bet. Come on by!

Hester    Gracias!

jmsepe    Thanks. We still have plenty left to show!

NMUSpidey    Me neither!

Benedict    Awesome! And how's the time machine doing?

Belfastsocrates    I know. We like being different here in Schulmania.

airman15    Trade is easy and relatively inexpensive. Shipping goes faster if you bring your own boxes. Our employees like to sit in ours.

bakercity     Awesome! and you are welcome anytime!

SUPERMESSI    Thanks! glad to have you here in Schulmania!

Hester    Likewise!

takemethere    Slow and steady wins the race!

SUPERMESSI    Thanks. We have no updated region view. But if you go to Volume 3 and look at the maps section you will see what recent(ish) ones we do have.  Oddly, only half of the region map has even been terraformed. I have been looking for a good mapmaker to help me flesh out the western half. But with the mass exodus from SC4 to CS it has been hard to find someone.

takemethere        Thanks. Glad to have you back. SC4 is not opening ATM (technical difficulties... again) but you can find both by searching the designer, mattb325.

Benedict    It would be quite the task, indeed!

Hester    It's a fun place!

SUPERMESSI    That would be awesome. I have not yet been to Portugal but I would like to one day... I'd like to do a France-Spain-Portugal-Morocco trip someday.

takemethere    A cat's life is the best life!

Titanicbuff    Thanks! Whereabouts? I was over there for a week in late June visiting friends.

SUPERMESSI    Obrigado!

Lyhoko Leaci    Thirsty?
SUPERMESSI    Patas are ducks, right? Oops, I think I meant patos! Our most recent region map is the 12 large tiles of the northlands, shown here:

I don't have a full region view because I am waiting to finish the whole map before making it.

Eager to see what's next? It's gonna be the finally finished feline fief of KILIGAN!

Surprising amount of Spanish in this city...

How many regions are there, now?

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Wirdilia: Kiligan & Lucky Cat

The Wirdilia District in western Mookimia is home both to the regional capital and a major naval facility. Kiligan is neither. It is a tiny peninsula on the very edge of the district. Its development has been slowed by delays and bureaucratic snafus. Business Cat was off on vacation and you know how things go when the boss is away...

Luckily, things were brought back on schedule. Thanks, of course, to Lucky Cat. Lucky Cat was on a series of adventures in Central Europe and used the charming villages he visited as his inspiration to finish the city. As you survey the town, you will be able to spot buildings influenced by the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Poland.

Lucky Cat, master craftsman

His staff worked hard to build the settlement in record time! Here's a photo of them once the work was done:

Let's see what Lucky Cat and his staff were able to do in Kiligan!

 

[Hester 699]

This was fun.  Great update.

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Looks good!

Also: Lucky Cat army!

[simlink 1,098]

[PhatHead 247]

Beautiful little town there, that building style is very aesthetically pleasing.

[Schulmanator 5,787]

It's getting to be that time again...

[Hester 699]

I love those pictures!!

[citycowboy 183]

looks awesome man, but how do you get the timber frame houses to work? half of mine always are missing the house.

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Looks good!

Demon school time again?

[Schulmanator 5,787]

It's supposed to be nice weather this weekend... not quite so hot and humid. How about a stroll on the New Arlenes Promenade?

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Looks good, can't wait for more!

I wonder how many fish are in the water...
