Summer's Hottest Contest --- *VOTING* [ EDIT: see addition at bottom of this post with voting instructions] What would summer be without something hot? Like a hot new contest from Schulmania?! It is a naming and terraforming contest. Here’s how it works… I have some small islands off Schulmania’s eastern coast, part of The Wirdleplex. They are going to be a part of a national park. The main island, a long skinny, sorta Y-shaped island, is the one I started messing around with, having no real plan at all…...

The Harbinger

By Schulmanator,

The Harbinger As Archduke Bower drifted away from the enemy fleet, he thought back to his months of imprisonment in the inhospitable land of Queensferry. What terrible fortune to have sailed across the sea in search of adventure and discovery only to have ended up there. Of all places to encounter, what a terrible first contact. Lost in his thoughts and mentally drained, it took him a while to look at the ships headed towards his homeland. When he did, he was relieved to see them headed away from his...

Elm Grove

By Schulmanator,

Middle Tenne: Elm Grove On the eastern shore of Lake Meltonhill, another town rises up to meet the morning mist. Elm Grove is nearly opposite Cedar Hill Chapel. And, like its neighbor, it consists of a mainland part and an island. And, as one might imagine, plenty of elm trees. Welcome to Elm Grove! The central business district is on the mainland and the island consist primarily of housing. The two are connected by the Barbershop Bridge, a small stone bridge named for the Elm Grove Barber Shop, first...

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...

Gated Community

By Schulmanator,

Middle Tenne: Gated Community Welcome back to Elza, Middle Tenne’s gated community. There are actually 3 gates defending the city: Elza Gate, Dossett Gate and Tacora Gate. Elza, the largest gate, presides over the port. The port serves both military and commercial vessels. Tacora, the smallest gate, presides over the small private vessel port on the northwest side of town. Elza’s largest gate defends the approach to Lake Meltonhill Dossett Gate defends Meltonhill Naval Base and the regional police base. It...

The Paperboy

By Schulmanator,

East Tenne: The Paperboy Tony just got his first job! After school, he rides his bike home and gets his snack. And then he starts his job. Yes, he is employed even though he’s still a kitten. What does he do? He’s a paperboy, delivering the local newspaper to his neighborhood. And he’s excited; he earns one gold schulmoneta per week plus tips! Now that’s some good spending money for a kitten his age. Tony is very excited! When his pals asked him how the job is going, he said “It’s grrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat!” He...

Going High Tech

By Schulmanator,

East Tenne: Going High Tech Friendsville, the diplomatic enclave in East Tenne, has served as an incubator for exciting new ideas for Schulmania. Our scientists have developed some new inventions at the Schulmania Technology Center, located in Friendsville. The endeavor is a joint partnership of the Diplomatic Office, the Office of Military Technology, and East Tenne University. At Diplomatic Office headquarters, excitement is high. New technology developed by Schulmania's scientists is about to be...

Middle Tenne: Bridges, Barons & Businesses The charming town of Cedar Hill Chapel is the administrative center of the Barony of Meltonhill. It encompasses two islands, three bridges, and a huge amount of lake frontage. With its famous church on the lake, it has one of the most distinctive landmarks in the region. It is the home of Baronial Hall, the area’s seat of power and a top rate marina. We begin at Baronial Hall, located on the northwestern shore of the lake. Baron von Lickenfur runs the day to day...

Around Morris Park

By Schulmanator,

East Tenne: Around Morris Park 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...

National Zoo

By Schulmanator,

East Tenne: National Zoo By popular demand, the city’s mayor has decided to open a zoo. The National Zoo is the first large scale zoological park in Schulmania. Located in the Sixth Arronidssement of the capital, the zoo occupies a wooded parcel midway between the main diplomatic complex and a large creekside residential area a bit to the south. If everyone is good during our trip, we’ll all stop by the gift shop on the way out! Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

On The Road

By Schulmanator,

Middle Tenne: On The Road It's been a busy travel season in Schulmania. The Great Western Road is under construction. Developed in a joint venture with Evean Vansop, the road will serve to join Schulmania's eastern, developed zone with the west coast and the ports of Evean Vansop. At the moment, the western half of the continent is completely undeveloped and populated solely by small groups of feline traditionalists who shun development. Right now, the completed segment runs from Roane-Anderson to Holston....

Cemesto District

By Schulmanator,

East Tenne: Cemesto District The Cemesto District, the 8th arrondissement of the National Capital Region, is a primarily residential working class neighborhood located south of the Wirdle River and a short commute to the heart of the capital. The main road through the district, Calutron Boulevard, links up with two of the main thoroughfares in the city - East Tenne Avenue (District I) and Wildcat Turnpike (District VI). Though comprised primarily of low to medium density housing with a commercial strip the...

Vaunmax

By Schulmanator,

Franzikoi: Vaunmax The Franzikoi District occupies the northeastern shoreline of the Tenne Sea and the northwestern piedmont of the Devonian Mountains. It is pretty empty as districts go. Only recently the first town was built; the district capital of Vaunmax. The town is a transit connection, serving Tenne Sea maritime traffic and connecting it with a rail line extending across the mountains all the way to New Arlenes on the eastern coast. This multimodal transit hub is the first direct connection of the...

The Woodlands

By Schulmanator,

East Tenne: The Woodlands The 12th District of the capital is a largely residential area. Located in the northwestern corner of the National Capital Area, The Woodlands is a low density development, essentially a suburb. It is best known for the distinctive tree-filled park which inspired the district’s name. The circular park’s boundary road connects the five main roads of the neighborhood. One, West End Boulevard, serves as the connector between the capital and the regional capital of Roane-Anderson, not...

The Secret Base

By Schulmanator,

Admiral Islands: The Secret Base Welcome back to the Admiral Islands! It has been a long time since we have been back here. That’s because the islands have largely been cut off from the outside world due to the Queensferry blockade of the Schulminion coast, the fact that the islands do not yet appear on navigation maps, and Queensferry’s dominance of the seas. But, after the successful blockade run a few months back, a massive convoy of personnel and supplies successfully made it east out of Schulmania and...

Airing It Out, Maxis Style A permanent site has been selected for the development of the Schulmania National Air Force academy and base. In an unprecedented move, the selected area has been transferred from the jurisdiction of the Regency of Wirdleonia to the Bureau of Feline Affairs, which will govern the territory as a Special Military District. The territory ceded to the BFA is outlined in red. New borders will be shown on the next national map. Princess Katherine signed the papers authorizing the...

Bonus Update! Schulmania's first land border. Here's the border between Schulmania and Harar. This is located in the Bayview area at the very northernmost point of Huddleston Bay. Since Harar is a protectorate of Schulmania, there's no need for border control. The boundary is marked with signs and flags. And of course the standard roadside amenities. A closer view: Just a little something to tide you over till the next update. Enjoy!

Salembourg

By Schulmanator,

The Wirdleplex: Salembourg The island fortress of Salembourg, Schulmania’s Corregidor, guards not only the mouth of the strategically vital Wirdleonia River but also Schulmania’s first prisoners of war. Locked away in the tower, the prisoners are gradually giving away vital information for our military. If this information proves accurate, we may finally be able to develop a winning strategy to remove the pestilential invaders. The key to winning the war might just be right here This is the most secure...

Part Two: Friendsville Were you fooled too? Many observers did not give a second thought to a large number of 'technical advisers' arriving in Robinia to assist with the Feline Simlympiad either. But, if one things about it, why would so many technical support personnel be needed when the sports infrastructure was already in place? Neyland Stadium, located along the scenic north shore of the Wirdleonia River, is by far the largest sports facility in the nation. There is certainly no need for technical aid...

Reconquest

By Schulmanator,

Reconquest Since the lifting of the Siege of Schulmericho in early 2013, the Schulmania National Army has steadily pushed enemy forces eastwards into the Devonian Mountains. As more territory is liberated, the devastation wrought by the invaders is very evident: villages burned to the ground, environmental desolation and everything of value stripped away. Toxic Oil of Onimay pits dot the once pristine landscape and much of the forest has been decimated. The only thing intact is the enemy rail network,...

National Cathedral

By Schulmanator,

East Tenne: National Cathedral Today, we visit the National Cathedral, which sits at the end of Myers Park, the nation’s largest urban park. The cathedral is flanked by the Ecclesiastic Library and the Sacred Music Hall. Behind the cathedral is undeveloped space – Cathedral Woods. This forested area comprises the northern tip of the island. National Cathedral first gained prominence during the 2013 Royal Wedding. Prince Excalibur has declared the cathedral to be the site for future coronations for the...

Middle Tenne: Franciflorianopolis Welcome back to the town with the longest name in Schulmania! Why, if you were to put this name into Words With Friends ™, you would probably get at least 100 points. Franciflorianopolis is also the first Schulminion city to have a sister city. Of course, it would be Florianopolis (Brazil, http://en.wikipedia....i/Florianopolis)... Makes sense, doesn’t it? Now, the two cities have nothing in common except the name, but that’s ok. After all, Brazil is one of Schulmania’s...

Schulmania's Wild Kingdom! There's always activity of all sorts in Schulmania - the wildest CJ in town! What's up tdoay? All sorts of residents have stopped by to get their brief moment of stardom. Interestingly enough, Agriculture Commissioner Zelgadis Junior was off today, so his able assistants Bugs Junior and George Junior showed up to take care of the greens today. Bugs Junior had the morning shift and George Junior showed up to relieve him in the afternoon. Bugs Junior at work... Bugs Junior is known...
