Schulmania to Schulmauckland... A Tale of Two Kitties

The Schulmanator is overjoyed to have been selected to be the Supreme Wirdle's personal representative on Schulmania's first state visit since before the colonization of Devonshire. He is intrigued by the various and sundry exotic florae and faunae which may present itself upon arrival in Schulmauckland. Schulmania does not have tree ferns; it just has plain ol' trees: witness this view from the Supreme Wirdle's very own porch.

Dignitaries at every level of government are eager for the visit to begin. Even St. Francis, the ancient scion of the ruling dynasty, released a statement from Temple Terrace indicating his enthusiasm for the expedition.

The agenda for the state visit is being finalized. There will be several official meetings as well as informal gatherings and a ceremonial exchange of canned meat products. Bureau of Feline Affairs Governor-General H. J. "Hoppy" Franciflora is expected to ship a case of his private reserve of Beef 'n Liver Fancy Feast as a gift. He is reportedly unconcerned that Booster may not consume Fancy Feast from the can, as is the Schulminion custom. He says "It's also great on crackers." The Governor-General is looking forward to the centerpiece of the visit - the International Simtropolis Gossip Roundup and Coffee Klatsch.

The ISGR&CK is the centerpiece of the state visit, not the Governor-General!

As preparations begin for the long voyage, it is important to remember that the seasons are reversed in Schulmauckland. So, it is likely that the delegation will be greeted by cold weather.

Perhaps a Snow Wirdle will await the Schulmanator upon arrival?

In case you are wondering what may await the Schulmania delegation... a Bureau of Feline Affairs surveillance craft has captured these images of the environs of the conference.

Nelson Manor stands out in the posh neighborhood of Macchiato.

A tall observation tower allows for panoramic vistas as well as an excellent place to watch birds.

The Coffee Klatsch will be held here... where else would you expect a Simtropolis Gossip Roundup to occur?!

No doubt there will be some visitation of natural areas. The park outside of Boosterotorua is always a favorite stop.

With such an exciting trip, the delegation had better remember to bring along some of the local money to spend in the shops for souvenirs...
