As the Schulminions venture outward, they will make many exciting discoveries – ones which expand their horizons and ones which will challenge their deepest beliefs and way of life.   The ancestral homeland   We will examine the nation from prehistory all the way to the present. It is a large territory- 8 large tiles wide by 6 tall – forty eight districts in all. That’s a huge territory to tame. Can these Sims do it? We will follow the exploits of the Schulminions, a plucky tribe of Sims who will eventually inhabit Schulmanicus Island, and see the twists of fate which help to lead them from their small island to the farthest reaches of the region.  Connect to all of Schulmania; browse our collection below.

This means that the nation is ruled by a royal house of cats. Benevolent feline rule is extended to all citizens in the nation—both feline and human. Humans have equal rights with cats, but they primarily define their role as following feline directives, such as petting and feeding and brushing. The leader of the national government is the Supreme Wirdle, who was selected at the beginning of civilization for her leadership and hunting skills. She serves as leader for all nine lives and received periodic coronations to amplify her power. She has divided the nation into regions to facilitate a more effective and responsive government. The leaders of these regions (viceroys) are appointed by the Supreme Wirdle and serve at her pleasure. Local officials are generally elected and confirmed by regional authorities. Several vassal organizations exist as well. They serve as representatives of other Schulminion populations and are loyal to the Supreme Wirdle and her government. Schulmania's Dependencies Schulmania, itself and through the Bureau of Feline Affairs, has several dependencies and colonies.
