SimNation

SimNation is the fictional country in which all Sims games take place. Citizens of SimNation are known as "Sims." The country's official animal is the llama, and the official language is Simlish. Its currency is Simoleons (§). One may assume that SimNation has a very strong economy, considering how items are priced in Simoleons in The Sims, The Sims 2 and The Sims 3. There are other notable things such as garden gnomes and plastic lawn flamingos. Real countries such as France, Norway, England, Japan, China, and Ireland are sometimes mentioned in object descriptions.

According to SimCity 2000, the national population is 10,000,000 in 1900 and 150,000,000 in 2050. As the game progresses beyond the year 2050, it can reach up to 5 billion.

History
The oldest and earliest known Sims were SimNatives. They inhabited the islands that are now Vacation Island and Twikkii Island, perhaps in a distant and unseen area.

Years before the start of The Sims, Admiral Landgraab sailed to the area that is now Vacation Island. Unfortunately, the natives were disgruntled by his presence, and the poor young admiral's life ends there. However, it seems that his body was later discovered, and he was laid to rest in a tomb in Champs Les Sims.

Geography and climate
The exact location and extent of SimNation is unknown. However, in many Sims games, there are mountains, deserts and grassy plains, much like the environment of the United States. Hence, some players would call it Simerica. However, SimNation's official animal is the llama, which is native to the mountains of South America. It is still possible that llamas do not actually live in SimNation, but are used only as a symbol. Despite this, they do appear in SimCity 4.

SimNation could be an independent part of the USA, possibly around Nevada or California, but it is also possible that SimNation is a completely fictional part of the world or even a different world entirely. When watching the weather channel in The Sims 2 with Seasons installed, the weather map will show a landmass shaped vaguely like India with the eastern coast continuing and not much of the west coast seen.

Species of SimNation
While most citizens of SimNation are Sims, there are multiple other sentient species. (It is unknown if all are entirely separate species, or a different sub-species of Sim, such as Vampires.) These other species, Vampires, Werewolves, PlantSims, and Bigfoots are not native to SimNation.

It is unknown whether these species exist in these numbers in the whole world of The Sims universe or only in SimNation.

There is also a number of animal species.

Technology
SimNation is very advanced technologically compared to real-life nation-states. The technology of the country include Servos, the remarkable, and seemingly sentient humanoid robot.

It is currently unknown if the rest of the world of The Sims universe is as advanced as SimNation.
