Ambush!

By Schulmanator,

Ambush Dateline Tuesday 29 October 2013 A large contingent of injured soldiers arrived at Checkpoint 6 at The Wirdleplex border late last night. They report a Queensferry offensive has been launched in the central Devonian Mountains, ostensibly to celebrate their "anniversary" on Simtropolis. At Wirdleplex Naval Base, Admiral Hestorb received the news with alarm. She has an extensive naval campaign ready to execute off the Devonshire coast and this development could very well upend the operation before it...

First War Memorial

By Schulmanator,

First War Memorial Now more than two years into a war with Queensferry, Schulmania has gained approval from the Supreme Wirdle to build the first war memorial in the nation. Most of the battle sites are either in enemy hands or in areas too dangerous to build such a place. But, in South Wirdleonia, where the garrison town of Little Castle stood before it was destroyed by enemy missiles, the area is safe enough to allow plans to proceed. All that remains of the town now is a large crater. It is that crater...

Furry Black Friday

By Schulmanator,

Furry Black Friday Today marks the beginning of the holiday shopping season. There are all sorts of crazy sales available today – some even started Thursday night at 8 PM. Before we head out for a day of beating back the hordes at the mall, let’s remember an important concept for holiday gifts: Shop Feline! Yes, that’s right. Shop feline. There’s all sorts of feline store you could visit today. Allow me to suggest a few: Ossie’s Scratching Post (your home for feline supplies), The Fancy Feastery (the...

Holy Places

By Schulmanator,

East Tenne: Holy Places The third arrondissement of the national capital of Oak Ridge is called the Holy Quarter because of its high concentration of large churches. We have seen a few of these already. Now, we will see all of the major churches and ecclesiastic structures in this district. Of course there are plenty of smaller religious structures as well. These featured here are the most noteworthy for the visitor to the capital. So, come along and see the highlights of the Holy Quarter. The National...

Nyan Airlines

By Schulmanator,

East Tenne: Nyan Airlines First, there was a vision. (Click [here] to see the aforementioned vision) The visionary, one Rainbow Poptart (“R. P.” to his friends) Nyan had the vision, but not the resources, to make feline history. The Bureau of Feline Affairs granted Nyan Cat money to design a feline flying machine. But now, he had to find a way to put his invention into production. For that, he turned to the international feline conglomerate, SchulmaniCorp. The CEO, the Archduke of Schulmanicus, was willing...

Atkinos: Risa - Vacation Paradise Everyone knows Risa Beach, the town on the southern shore of the Tenne Sea, whose existence is due to the tourist trade. With its signature Sand Wirdle landmark, 5-star resort and upscale shopping, Risa has been a perennial top destination for tourists from all over the Alpha Quadrant. But, things have been slow for a while at Risa and businesses are hurting. The war against Queensferry has reduced vacationing for Schulminions. And, various visitors have been visiting less...

New York City

By Schulmanator,

New York City Photos Yeah, it’s not on topic… but you know you want to see how I spent my spring vacation. So, here’s some pix for you! The McDonald’s in Chinatown… the McD’s in Little Italy was not that interesting though… Bridge for sale… cheap! Anyone know what this building is? It’s in lower Manhattan. Its kinda weird looking. The view from the South Street Seaport. About two blocks away from where this was taken I got to see my first street altercation! The view from the Staten Island Ferry… looking...

East Tenne: Joker Defeats Batman! At one point, the island of Watts Bar, found in the middle of the Tenne River, was thought to be infested with a swarm of bats. (see the infestation here) Extensive investigations by Simtropolis scions have been inconclusive... until now. Sleuthing and technical upgrades have finally revealed the secret of the Bat Cave. The secret will be revealed! Commissioner Gordon, hang on to the batphone... this will be a major secret revealed! As we explore this small island town, be...

Whisker Isle Part 2: Planting By popular demand, Whisker Isle will be terraformed with a mix of flat, hilly and steep areas. The results will be shown below. Our next task is to decide what flora and/or fauna we want to put on the island. Again, tell us what you want and we will make it happen (assuming it is the most popular choice). Select one of the following options for the flora/fauna of the island: 1) BARREN - Rocky and not much of anything growing 2) GRASSY - flowers and grasses predominate 3)...

Performance Based

By Schulmanator,

East Tenne: Performance Based In the ninth arrondissement, located north of the Wirdle River in the heart of the city, a magnificent gift from the Supreme Wirdle to the people of the capital serves as the focal point and as a dazzling example of the grandiose Capital Style architecture which dominates the expansive new capital. The National Theater presides over the district and is the home of the National Symphony, National Orchestra, and the National Ballet. Of course, many more fine arts are located...

Halloween Black Cat Special Originally posted in 2011... this has been updated for 2014 with 6 new pictures to replace a few broken images and give you more of a spooky sensation! Enjoy, and BOO! Once a year, the world joins together as one to recognize the power of black cats. But, in Schulmania, we recognize this power every day of the year. After all, our leader, the Supreme Wirdle, is a black cat. And, we are well aware of her power and majesty. Long may she purr over us! As we can see, people from...

Wirdleonian Piedmont: Santiago de los Gatos Caballeros Princess Ava has always been a supporter of the Schulmania military and has been in several battles herself. She felt compelled to do something special for veterans who have completed their service and been honorably discharged. She decided to follow the ample she read about the Roman legions founding towns and have veterans receive their own town as a reward for their service. Princess Katherine quickly approved the idea and a site was selected in the...

Big Orange Country

By Schulmanator,

New Atkinos: Big Orange Country Welcome to Big Orange Country, right in the heart of Schulmania! Our newest town and secret military project is on the island of New Atkinos, nestled between the sea and our tallest peak, Rocky Top. The Schulmania National Military has set up a secret facility here, known as “The Big Orange Project.” Of course, when you hear about that, you think you know what it is… There is one of these visible from a nearby town, just to lower suspicion about the activities going on in...

East Tenne: Riding the Rails In the very southwest of the capital city of Oak Ridge sits the nineteenth arrondissement, Pellissippi West. Named for the island offshore which now holds the Gilded Quarter (District XVI), this district sits in perhaps the most remote location in the National Capital Region. But, that does not mean this area is isolated. Au contraire, mon frère! Quite the opposite. This sector has been set aside for transit infrastructure and for industry. One of the foci for the area in the...

Blankenship

By Schulmanator,

Middle Tenne: Blankenship Blankenship is a town straddling the Clinch River in Middle Tenne. The Tenne Avenue Bridge bisects the town as it crosses the river. The town is unusual in that it does not have its own port. It is connected to road to the Meltonhill area and makes use of the multiple ports located there. This decision by the City Planning Office may herald the era of regional ports or perhaps doom Blankenship to slow economic growth. Only time will tell. The town site was selected to connect both...

Isle of Cat

By Schulmanator,

The Wirdleplex: Isle of Cat Some of you are familiar with one of the world’s oldest governments: the Isle of Man. The Isle of Man is a self-governing British Crown Dependency, located in the Irish Sea between the islands of Great Britain and Ireland within the British Isles, or so Wikipedia says. The island's parliament, Tynwald, claims to be the oldest continuously existing ruling body in the world. Of course, feline governance has persisted for millennia before that. What is so interesting about the Isle...

Middle Tenne: Basilica of St. Francis & St. Flora To avoid confusion, the coronation church for Schulminion monarchs is the tiny, ancient Church of St. Francis and St. Flora, located in the heart of the old capital city of Wirt, on the island of Schulmanicus. So, what we will see here is something brand new, and much, much bigger. The Basilica of St. Francis and St. Flora is the largest religious structure in the nation and serves as a focal point for pilgrimages and religious activities in the rapidly...

This area has the highest concentration of churches in the nation, including the National Cathedral and St. Felix, St. Heathcliff, St. Garfield, and the Shrine of the Savory Salmon. The capital’s city hall is located in the Holy Quarter, facing the city’s largest park. The district is bisected by the largest urban park in the nation. There’s a lot...

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...

Bay: Huddleston Naval Base Huddleston Bay forms much of the west coast of Harar and provides a naval passage to the heart of Schulmania. A short distance west of the bay is the border with Schulmauckland. All three nations are concerned about the possibility of a Queensferry incursion into this strategic waterway. In a cooperative effort to protect the bay, the three set about building a naval base on the Schulminion side of the bay’s entrance right at the border with Schulmauckland. From this new...
