The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 Amano-U1-01

Welcome back to Hellas Province, the northern-most province of Cattala. Today we’re visiting a town downstream from Eurellia – Amano Bridge.

The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 Amano-U1-02

Clearly Amano Bridge has been built on the banks of a river, which once carried coal, wood and other fuels from Ionia to the northern towns and villages of Hellas Island.

The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 Amano-U1-03

However these days, it’s used more recreationally. Strict rules are in place to protect water quality in Hellas, so this river is used for swimming in the summer!

The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 Amano-U1-04

Amano is still a popular place to live, even though industry and manufacturing left the area decades ago. As you can see here, more dense housing is being built along the shoreline, but planning regulations mean that they have to be built in traditional styles.

The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 Amano-U1-05

As is commonplace in most Cattalian towns, the skyline remains dominated by religious centres. Amano’s 19th-century cathedral was built at the height of it’s wealth, when the town was flourishing and looked likely to become the biggest city in Hellas. This never happened, but the town is still highly regarded in the islands.

The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 Amano-U1-06

Thank you for visiting Cattala today. Smile

Thank you all. The rivers were made using Diggis ponds, which are on the LEX.

Today we have a special update, not based on any particular cities. At the moment the AIN Expo 2011 is ongoing, and as part of that I'm showing how the Cattalian education system works. So, here's some images of schools and universities from across Cattala. Smile

The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 Education-02

There are five stages to education in Cattala – Viviao, Elementare, Secondaria, Accademia and Università. Cattala has State, Private and Religious schools but all follow this system. State schools are fully funded by the Government, whilst religious schools obtain up to 50% of their funding from their religious community.

The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 Education-04

Viviao is the first stage of education a child enters. Between the ages of 2 and 4, children are offered part-time places at Viviao Infante schools. Between the ages of 4 and 7, children are offered full-time places at Viviao schools. In 2010, 96% of Elementare children had attended Viviao, and it is an informal introduction to learning, mainly through playing and fun activities.

The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 Education-05

Elementare is the first stage of compulsory education. Children join Elementare school in the academic year of their seventh birthday, and leave at the age of 11. At Elementare school, there are no formal examinations, and it is focused on teaching children basic skills.

The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 Education-07

Secondaria Scuola is the second stage of compulsory education. Students attend Secondaria school from the age of 11, after finishing Elementare, and leave at the age of 16, to go to an apprenticeship or Accademia.


The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 Education-09

Accademia is the last stage of compulsory education. Accademia is the equivalent of college and is normally attended by people aged between 16 and 18. In Accademia, students study subjects of their choice which are provided by that Academy and they are much more specialised than at Secondaria level.

The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 Education-10

Università is the Cattalian name for University, where adults who have finished compulsory education can study for degrees. The largest Universities in Cattala are Jennai City, Celeste, Italia Gennaio, Calora and Lessito. Thanks for visiting Cattala! Smile

Well in America College, and University is the same level of education

So we have pre-school, elementary school (grades 1-5 public schools or 1-8 for private schools), middle school grades (6-8 public schools), High School (grades 9-12 both public and private) and then off to College Very Happy

Ah - that is very different to Cattala, and the UK. So I guess High School is very similar to Accademia/College in Cattala. Smile

The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 Celeste-U17-01

The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 Celeste-U17-02

We begin today’s look at Cattala’s media outlets in the heart of Celeste – Franogei. Royal Media International, or RMI, is Cattala’s public service broadcaster.

The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 Celeste-U17-03

Here’s a close up of the main offices of RMI One and RMI Two. Cattala’s two most-watched channels are produced, broadcast and often televised from these two buildings.

The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 Celeste-U17-04

To the south of those offices is the main production facilities for RMI Three, the digital channel that was launched recently.

The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 Celeste-U17-05

Here we see the main broadcasting centre for RMI News 24 – Cattala’s oldest and most watched news channel. 24 hours a day, news from around the world is broadcast across the Mediterranean and beyond from this building.

The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 Celeste-U17-06

Cattala’s fourth channel is Quattro, which is based in Vittoria, Celeste. Quattro is owned by the MIP group and it broadcasts Italian language shows.

The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 Celeste-U17-07

Leaving Celeste, the head offices of Channel 3, the main rival to RMI, are based in the centre of Altura. Channel 3 is bigger than Quattro, and was launched before RMI Three, meaning that it is ahead of that channel in the television guide.

The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 Celeste-U17-08

To end today, a look at the headquarters of CNS, a rival news channel to RMI News 24. It is based opposite the RMI Three building and is part of the Media Village that was created from excess land owned by RMI during the redevelopment of the Franogei Riverside area.

The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 Seina-ent12-01-1

The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 Seina-ent12-02-1

Welcome back to the town of Seina, in Monte Calida province. Before we start today’s tour of new areas of the town, let’s look at the local Church at night.

The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 Seina-ent12-03-1

The centrepiece to the new area is the Palace of Seina, which is home to the Duke of Monte Calida, currently Prince Paulo Bonnecelli. The palace is one of many owned by the Crown across the province, but this is the principal residence of the Duke.

The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 Seina-ent12-04-1

The Palace was still under construction when we last visited the east of Seina, as you can see in the grey image. The river has now been allowed to follow it’s natural course again and a village has been built around the palace.

The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 Seina-ent12-05-1

The community of Idrico Arco was built rapidly after the completion of the palace and has continued to expand. Many people wanted to live in an area regarded as affluent and wealthy, and living near such an example of that is a unique opportunity outside of Celeste.

The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 Seina-ent12-06-1

The river is the heart of Idrico Arco – it’s name means comes from the Italian for Arch of Water – and links it to the rest of Seina. For the village to be built, bridges had to be constructed and it took large amounts of resources and time to divert the flow of water and assemble the series of bridges on-site.
Below is a mosaic of Seina, looking in a western direction.

The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 Seinaent1207

Seina is a different project to all of my others in this journal – it’s not based in a specific time, it just grows. So I hope you liked today’s update.

Thank you! Smile

The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 SouthOntano-U07-01

Welcome back to Ontano, in Lessito Province. It should be the middle of harvest season now, but heavy rains have forced farmers to push back their harvest date.

The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 Southontanou0702

Driving conditions overnight have been hazardous, and the smaller roads have become impassable. Rain has been falling throughout the night and visibility is very low.

The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 Southontanou0703

But, by this morning, the rain had eased and dawn was a welcome sight. Unfortunately in La Marchie, some of the farms have lost their harvests this year, and land has been abandoned in some cases.

The United Kingdom of Cattala - Page 8 SouthOntano-U07-04

Thank you for visiting Cattala today.
