Fanon:Isla Nublar

Isla Nublar is a sub-neighborhood that will be shipped with the Fanon EP The Sims 3: Jurassic Park.

Overview
Isla Nublar is a remote island about 120 miles (190 km) off the west coast of Costa Rica, which is only 87 miles away from Isla Sorna. The island has a surface of 57 square kilometers (22 square miles). Its mountain ridges created varied ecological niches. The island was intended to be the site of Jurassic Park. It was to be a tourist attraction featuring living biological dinosaurs cloned from pre-historic DNA. The park was controlled from the Visitor Center.

Isla Nublar means "clouded island". Its name is most likely an allusion to the Costa Rican island Isla del Coco, which is the only island with cloud forests in the eastern Pacific.

The western coast of Isla Nublar is very rough and mountainous. Velvet green cliffs and cascading waterfalls plummeting into deep, narrow valleys. From these mountains one or more rivers stream to the eastern part of the island.

The northern part of the island is also very mountainous. This part is also very volcanic. One of the most impressive mountains on the island is called Sibo. It is called after the main deity of Nima's tribe. He was believed to have created the Earth. The mountain itself has the shape of a house and the natives believed that the animals of the world had build it.

Thousands of years ago people from the American continent arrived at Isla Nublar. The people became mostly fisherman.

After John Hammond abandoned the idea of a small Jurassic Park San Diego, his company InGen looked for a large isolated preserve. Costa Rica agreed to lease the island to InGen. The tribe people had to leave the island. InGen had to build two docks to easily transport supplies and workman to the island, the North Docks and East Docks. In the south also an Isla Nublar Heliport was built. For an efficient distribution, a network of roads was build. To supply the construction sites and the fences with energy, a Geothermal Power Plant was build in the northern mountains.

The structures for Jurassic Park were mainly build in the eastern and northern part of the island.
