'''SimNation''' is the fictional country in which all ''The Sims'' games take place. The country is also referred to as '''Simerica''', '''Simladonia''', '''Simlandia''' ,'''Simsonia''' or '''
According to SimCity 2000, the national population is 10,000,000 in 1900 and 150,000,000 in 2050, making the average rate of population growth 1.80537% per year (SimNation's populaton can be modeled with the formula <math>P=10,000,000e^{(0.0180537t)}</math> where <code>t</code> is the time in years since 1900). As the game progresses beyond the year 2050, it can reach up to 5,000,000,000. Using this data, SimNation's population is estimated to be 24,660,000 in 1950 and 60,820,000 in 2000.

Next known Sims were [[SimNatives]]. They inhabited the islands that are now [[Vacation Island]], [[Twikkii Island]], and the islands featured in various versions of ''[[The Sims 2 Castaway (disambiguation)|The Sims 2: Castaway]]''. They are implied to still be around, though perhaps in a distant and unseen area; the tribespeople encountered in ''Castaway'' are presumably SimNatives.

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 of the player. 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.

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".
