In case you are wondering why you can’t find Schulmania on a map, that’s because it is a virtual nation. It is a region in the EA/Maxis game SimCity 4. The region was developed on the SimCity fansite www.simtropolis.com and this site serves as an archive of posts to that forum. It includes the story line updates as well as peripherals, such as coins, currency, census, commerce and more. You can view the threads of Schulmania here:

Acknowledgments
In the updates, themselves, I would like to acknowledge the staff and members of Simtropolis for their encouragement, support and technical assistance in making Schulmania happen. Some materials used in game also came from the SimCity fansite www.sc4devotion.com . Additionally, I have used various heraldic symbols for cities and regions in Schulmania. The majority are city or historic arms from European nations, especially Italy, Slovakia, Russia, Czech Republic, Portugal and Germany. I will try to go back and attribute each if I can. I regret that I did not keep up well enough with where each came from to attribute each. The round deals came from the seal generator site, http://www.says-it.com/seal/index.php . The cute historic cat pictures (praying, sailing, etc) all came from one terrific cat-friendly website, http://www.literary-cat.cwc.net/Homepage.htm . I have found some great novelty cat pictures which have been sprinkled in here and there. Many of these came from the site www.worth1000.com. This is a great site, home of many contests for people with photoshop skills which far exceed my own.
Medical information for the Schulmania Medical Corps and the Klingman Institute has been gleaned from sources including the following: http://www.lbah.com/feline/hyperthyroidism.htm, http://www.avmi.net/newfiles/hyperthyroidism/Hyperthyroidism.html, http://www.marvistavet.com/html/thyroid__signs__symptoms_and_d.html , http://www.sniksnak.com/cathealth/hyperthyroidism.html as well as http://www.lbah.com/feline/kidney.htm , http://www.felinecrf.com/what0.htm
Band music, including the national anthem, is from the Pride of the Southland Band of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The national anthem is the UT Alma Mater. Other featured music includes Rocky Top and the various fight songs.
MILITARY INFORMATION
Concerned about being invaded by Schulmania? Its fearsome military machine intimidating you? Well, as you can tell from above, you have no real cause for alarm, since Schulmania is a virtual nation. So, if a Google or other search about military stuff brought you to Schulmania, you probably are a bit disappointed. But, hopefully the Schulmania storyline will draw you in nonetheless and you will explore the website. |
