Paper Pushers
East Tenne: Paper Pushers
Government offices are located throughout the capital. Many of the most significant ones are located in the Royal Quarter and the Feline Quarter. But, all of those government offices and institutions which don’t require the Supreme Wirdle’s daily oversight need somewhere to be as well. Many of them and concentrated in the fourth and fifth arrondissements. District IV is known as The Citadel, as it contains a large building which sits upon a hill just like a citadel in the times of yore. A large cluster of government facilities centers around Clark Square. This cluster is devoted to education and culture. There are other clusters scattered through the Government Districts. Executive and legislative offices are in the Royal Quarter, proximate to Wirtyplace.
The Fine Arts Council sponsors artists of all types and administers museums and cultural facilities across the nation. Performing arts and musicians of all sorts are subsidized by the FAC. Feline opera is always a popular selection with the general public.
A lovely plaza behind the FAC building hosts sculptural exhibits and outdoor theater. But, NO MIMES!
That’s right: there’s no time for the mime. My rhyme is prime and being a mime is not a crime. But, NO MIMES!
The National Archives hosts many important documents and artifacts. Want to see the Supreme Wirdle’s first scratching post? It’s there. The charter of the Feline Interplanetary Friendship Association? Got it. Financial records dating back to the dawn of recorded time? Yup.
The Education and Literature Commission Office hosts the bureaucrats in charge of education and print materials. Now, you might be concerned about the state of feline education due to the English spelling of lolcat speak. But, fear not. Felines spell well in their native languages. But, translation into English often leaves room for error. The world would be a better place if we all spoke Meow.
Outgoing Education Commissioners Chalmers and Skinner have left a strong staff in place here. Incoming Commissioners Clark and Stickley will be well prepared for continuing our ambitious Nine Lives Education Program.

If you want to catch a government official for an informal chat, head over to Grove Center, a trendy marketplace filled with shops and cafes. You could have an interesting conversation over a cup of catmint tea.
Grove Center backs up to Grove Park, a triangular green space next to the National Parks Office
If you are curious about what else can be found in The Citadel, there’s plenty of commerce and residential areas. Many cultural amenities and interesting destinations can be found as well. Let’s take a stroll…
Or you could just head to the mall…
