According to fossils from [[The Sims 4]] Australosimicus afarensis, or "Pre-Pre-Pre Sim", lived between 3.9 and 2.9 million years ago. During that time sharp little triangle rocks were used by ancient hunters to catch food. Over time people began to plant, farm, and raise livestock.

===Middle Ages===
The opening cinematic of ''[[The Sims Medieval]]'' shows a young monarch of the medieval period (c.450-1450AD in real-world history) setting sail to found a new nation on an unfamiliar continent that is already home to a number of small independent kingdoms. This can be interpreted as the creation of the country that would eventually annex its neighbors and become modern-day SimNation, although in gameplay itself this is left up to the imagination. The geography of the medieval kingdom does, however, share some similarities with that shown in installments set in the present day, perhaps adding some credence to the theory that they take place in the same location, albeit several centuries apart.

At an unknown time, colonists arrived in [[Sulani]] during SIXAM era and in [[Selvadorada]], where ancient Omiscan civilizations had lived for a long time. It is unknown whether Omiscan civilization disappeared before or after the colonists.

[[File:Caw leftgraphic ver808032.png|left|40px]]The exact location and extent of SimNation is unknown. However, in many ''Sims'' games, there are mountains, swamps, deserts, and grassy plains, much like the environment in various parts 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'', so it is still unknown which is right.
SimNation could be an independent part of North America, possibly around real-life Nevada or California. It is most likely that SimNation is located on Earth, but on an [[alternate universe]]
Some people speculate that SimNation and the world Sims inhabit are set in an entirely different universe, because in [[:File:The Sims 4 "Arrival" Official Trailer|''The Sims 4'' arrival trailer]], Sims are seen to have come from space to the real-world Earth.
There are various maps and globes that can be found in The Sims games, but the land they depict can wary from one to another. While some show the real-world Earth´s continents, the others show different shapes.
The Moon in ''The Sims 3'' and ''The Sims 4'' greatly resemble the Moon in the real-world, suggesting that the Sims' world is also Earth.

== Religion ==
[[File:Philosophy.png|right]]Not much is known about religion in SimNation since it is a secular nation. There appears to be no official state religion, and there seems to be an absence of organized religion in ''The Sims'', ''The Sims 2'', ''The Sims 3'' and ''The Sims 4''. However, churches were present in the original ''SimCity'' and in ''SimCity 2000'', and ''SimCity 4'' includes the option to build Houses of Worship and Cemeteries in the city. And in The Sims 4 Sims can leave a sugar skull offering, showing, along with the description that Sims celebrate the Day Of The Dead. Religion was probably deliberately left open-ended for the player to decide how to envision religious practice in The Sims.<ref>The absence of organized religion may be due to Maxis/Electronic Arts not wanting to favor any particular real-life religion or to offend religious players by depicting Sims following a fictional religion.</ref>
Sims do appear to believe in an afterlife and the supernatural, but not in any religious way. The Grim Reaper appears in ''The Sims'' and its sequels and deceased Sims appear as ghosts. Also, various occult-related items, activities, and, in the case of ''[[The Sims: Makin' Magic]]'' an entire sub-neighborhood related to the occult have appeared throughout the series. They also seem to be somewhat aware of the player as they sometimes wave to get the players attention when something's wrong, as if [[Wikipedia:Fourth wall|breaking the fourth wall]].
Line 298 ⟶ 464:
In ''[[The Sims]]'', the description of a few Decorative items makes mention of not only Christianity and excommunication, but also of Graeco-Roman paganism and related deities, such as Aphrodite and Ares.
In ''[[The Sims 2]]'' there are mentioned real life religions, such as Judaism in [[:File:Chanukah_Menorah.png|Chanukah Menorah]], Catholic and Puritans in [[:File:Gingerbread House.png|Gingerbread House]] and Buddhism in [[:File:Osho Nuff Tablet.png|Osho Nuff Tablet]].
In ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'', students [[major]]ing in Philosophy will take a class entitled "Who Controls the Pie Menu and Why?", implying that some Sims do take part in some sort of philosophical-religious debate; however, this is probably intended as a joke for the player, who controls the pie menu (usually presumed to be invisible to Sims, much like the [[PlumbBob]]) and is therefore in a sense "playing god".
Line 319 ⟶ 485:
[[File:Education career icon.png|left|40px]] [[File:College icon.png|right]]Public education in childhood and teenager years is free and compulsory for all Sims. The possible department for administrating education in SimNation is the Department of Education. SimNation also provide private and [[boarding schools]], in which the latter cost tuition fees. In ''The Sims 3'', some [[rabbit hole]]s, such as the [[science lab]]s, have classes that are open to all Sims. A lot of a Sim's education, however, is done at home, through either reading [[skill]] books or practicing on their own, with activities such as painting and stargazing.
Higher education is also available in SimNation with [[Sim State University]], [[La Fiesta Tech]], [[Academie Le Tour]], [[Sims University]], [[University of Britechester]] and [[

The idea that SimNation is a representative democracy is further reinforced from the Politisim channel in ''The Sims 4''. Several candidates can be seen giving speeches at a debate. The channel also shows election maps and election results, along with a winner. These graphics are color-coded in a similar fashion to how political parties are typically color-coded.
At time of ''The Sims,'' there seems to be movement for SimNatives semi-autonomy. It is supported by money gained through sale of native wall hangings.<ref>Mentioned in description of [[:File:Native Sim Wall Hanging.png|Native Sim Wall Hanging]] from [[The Sims]]</ref>
===Flags and Symbols===
In ''The Sims 3'', flags can often be found in front of military bases, police stations, schools, and city halls. These flags usually contain a [[plumbob]] with five green stripes on them, presumably the flag of SimNation. Flags of local worlds and municipalities may also be used. For example, a banner on the side of the Civic Center in [[Monte Vista]] contains a red background, white stripe, and a black llama. Flags outside the city hall of [[Aurora Skies]] are made of dark blue and white stripes. The city hall in [[Sunlit Tides]] contains a circular symbol with a red palm tree and text in Simlish, and a celtic symbol can be seen on the police station of [[Dragon Valley]].
Flags outside public places can also be found in ''The Sims 4''. In ''[[Get to Work]]'', there's a flag outside of the [[police station]] that contains a green circle, white outline, and a llama silhouette. In ''[[Get Together]]'', there are three flags in

==Healthcare==
[[File:W give free health clinic.png|left|40px]] [[File:Biology.png|right]]While in the past, as shown in ''The Sims Medieval'', Sims were frequently at risk of serious disease and major injury, most illnesses in modern-day SimNation are minor and non life-threatening. The most common illnesses are colds (which may be caught at work or school, or by coming into contact with an infected Sim), food poisoning (from eating spoiled food) and pregnancy symptoms such as nausea. Colds are treatable by resting at home and consuming certain soups and juices, while food poisoning and morning sickness will eventually end on their own. There is a risk of untreated colds developing into the more serious pneumonia, which can be fatal, as can the flu, which can be caught from proximity to vermin. [[Mummy|Mummies]] and [[witch]]es can curse other Sims with illness. Accidental injury seems to be virtually non-existent outside of occasional [[The "Concoctanation Station"|lab]] [[Career rewards|accidents]], and though there are numerous ways to [[Death|die]] prematurely (common causes include: fire, drowning, electrocution or starvation), a Sim who has come close to death but survived will recover very quickly and will not require hospital treatment. There is no form of emergency care to treat serious conditions, although in the Nintendo DS version of ''The Sims 3'', starving Sims are taken to a hospital before starving to death which implies that the Sim is taken there by ambulance.
Sims may or may not require medical attention, such as receiving vaccinations for [[Illness#The Sims 3: Seasons|flu and allergies]] in the hospital, and they may receive medical checkup and vaccination clinics by doctors. Most diseases can simply be treated by taking a rest at home. Doctors in SimNation do not appear to need any academic qualifications, at least to get started in the career. Hospitals are seen in ''The Sims 3'' and ''The Sims 4'', mainly for pregnancy and plastic surgery, though medical outreach programs and emergencies from out of town do also occur.
