For Ava

By Schulmanator,

East Tenne: For Ava Cat food magnate Oscar Myers donated a wagonload of gold schulmonetas to fund the creation of the capital’s largest public park. And being a modest fellow, asked that it be named after him. The park, located in the city’s third district, is a wonderful civic space. It is home to a variety of formal and informal spaces, sports and recreational sites and is one of the most popular gathering spots in the city. It is in the heart of the Holy Quarter and is bordered by such important...

Otfoxx

By Schulmanator,

Wirdilia: Otfoxx The Wirdilia District's Otfoxx in western Mookimia is home both to the district capital and a major naval facility, Marshall Naval Base. Otfoxx is a large domestic port city and a manufacturing hub. SchulmaniCorp has a large presence here as does Leech Apothecary. Due to the significant commerce in the city, large numbers of restaurants and hotels dot the city. The largest one, Hotel Collins, sits next to the Irwin Memorial Convention Center, host of this year's candy convention. See...

The first town to be built in the district is the new capital for the area, Jamestown, named for the recently-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...

Central Mookimia: Castle in the RainThe Central Mookimia District hosts several towns and is bisected by a large, strategic body of water. A rocky outcrop, the Schloßberg, houses a castle. The castle, Katzenschloß, is the seat of power for the district government. And it's pretty cool too. The governor has a home and office in the castle and most government functions for the district are conducted here. The Mookimia Turnpike offers transit connections to the port of Purkeyluo to the north and Franzikoi...

One Week In

By Schulmanator,

Middle Tenne: One Week In Just one week into the new school year and the kids in Inskip are already hitting the books-- hard. School headmistress Ann Beaulynn has put in a great new incentive for students. The student with the highest marks in each class will receive a tuna can full of gold (and another one full of tuna) at the end of the term. Everyone from rugrat to aspiring collegian is aiming to take home the prize. Additionally, she agreed to let the winners have a go at her with a dunking booth...

Wirdilia: Kiligan & Lucky CatThe 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...

SchulMedia: News Reel #4 (#3) (#2) (#1) These are the odd one or three pictures that aren't enough to make a full update with but I still want to show you. I'll sort of put them here and arrange in reverse chronological order. The most recent ones will be first and we'll work our way backwards. I'll put the date by each. There will be the occasional thing I have just a few pictures of but still want to use. For those, look here! After 20 stories, the next newsreel will be started. This is the fourth one....

Aldivia: From A DistanceThe 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...

LIVE! From the National Theater in Oak Ridge! Schulmania 2015 Midyear Awards Ceremony Hosted by Ironing Man!!! He's not just another starched shirt! And he makes the bad guys pleat for mercy! When he gets steamed he'll press on to victory! He'll collar the bad guys and hang in there until the job is done! My apologies on giving up on the text formatting partially through the editing process. The new website is excruciatingly sluggish and unresponsive and feels like way back in the dialup days. I...

Get Wild

By Schulmanator,

East Tenne: Get Wild It's time to get wild! Let's head out to the National Zoo! Located in the heart of the sixth arrondissement of the National Capital Region, the Diplomatic Enclave, the zoo has a great array of wild critters sure to amaze and delight. And, thanks to a generous subsidy from the Education and Literature Office, admission is only one purr. What a bargain! Let's get wild today!

Franzikoi: Carbufax Junction The three Carbufax brothers are railroad magnates. No, not magnets. If they were magnets, they'd be stuck to a fridge somewhere. Brothers Al, Adam, and Ace each operated their own rail lines. They decided to integrate them into a rail network to serve the east, connecting Mookimia with Devonshire and inner coast to outer coast. Al, the big brother, operated the line from Vaunmax to New Arlenes. Adam, the middle one, was building a north-south line, as was baby brother Ace. They...

So I got the SimCity 2013 Build It App on my iPhone, for free, compliments of my Starbucks App. I had not ever tried out SC2013, so free seems like a good price point for me to jump in. I will chronicle my adventures and misadventures with the app here. To honor the town's founders, the town will be called Starbuck City (Starbuck City is not in Schulmania, but they do have a free trade agreement with us). I'll show you how I meander through SC2013. The app comes with few instructions and very limited...

By Schulmanator,

East Tenne: Bishop's Square Located near the Shrine of the Savory Salmon, Bishop's Square is a green oasis in the heart of the capital's third arrondissement. The East Tenne Bishopric Office sits in the square and is surrounded by pleasant grounds. Bishop Neilson presides over the most populous see in the nation and has his offices right in the heart of the largest concentration of religious edifices in the nation. We will see the bishop make his rounds about the Holy Quarter today. Bishop's Square meets...

Hall of Justice

By Schulmanator,

East Tenne: Hall Of Justice 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 are 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...
