==History==
[[File:W admire history.png|40px|left]][[File:History.png|right]]The oldest and earliest 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 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 neighbours 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.
Line 165:
In ''[[The Sims 2: Bon Voyage]]'', visitors to [[Twikkii Island]] may accidentally anger an ancient island god, Jumbok IV, by desecrating the ruins of his temple. The long-dead tribe of island people in ''[[The Sims 2: Castaway]]'' apparently worshipped a [[llama]] god, as another ruined temple containing llama idols can be found on Volcano Island. However, the temples of both gods have fallen into disrepair, suggesting that they are part of an ancient system of beliefs no longer followed by either the islanders themselves or their neighbours in SimNation.
In ''[[The Sims Medieval]]'', Sims partake in a form of religion resembling medieval Christianity. While the religion itself has no mentioned name, it consists of two named branches; the [

== Technology ==
[[File:Science career icon.png|40px|left]][[File:Physics.png|right]]SimNation is very technologically advanced compared to real-life nation-states. The technology of the country includes [[Servo]]s and [[SimBot]]s, the remarkable, and seemingly sentient, humanoid robots.
It is currently unknown if the rest of the world of [[The Sims series|The Sims]] universe is as advanced as SimNation. Foreign destinations like [[Champs Les Sims]] seem to be on a fairly similar level, although only small parts of these countries are seen.
== Government ==
[[File:Political career icon.png|40px|left]][[File:Political Science.png|right]]The government of SimNation seems to be a form of democracy. Careers like [[Politics]] have positions with names like senators and congressmen/women, suggesting that the government of SimNation is similar to that of the [[wikipedia:Federal government of the United States|United States of America]]. In job descriptions, it mentions branches like the judicial and the executive. The fact that there is a position in ''The Sims 3'' called "Leader of the Free World" suggests that there is a body similar to the United Nations. However, it may also simply be an elaborate, but informal, title.

== Military ==
[[File:Military career icon.png|40px|left]][[File:Military career.png|right]]The military of SimNation appears to be an all-volunteer force. Focus in Air Force. It is open to both male and female Sims since both are able to join the [[Military]] career track. In The Sims 2, teens can also join.
No known wars have been identified in SimNation's history, although it is implied by [[Emperor Xizzle]] in ''[[The Sims 2 (Nintendo DS)|The Sims 2]]'' for Nintendo DS that Sims are at war with Aliens. Probably why, in [[Strangetown]], [[General Buzz Grunt]] shows pure hate towards [[Pollination Technician #9]]. In ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]'' it is mentioned in [[Vivian Cho]]'s bio that her late husband [[Etokas Cho|Etokas]] died "in the line of duty", possibly implying that he was a soldier; however, this has not been confirmed by the game's creators.
==Law==
[[File:Law Enforcement career icon.png|40px|left]][[File:Law career.png|right]]A [[police]] force, as well as prisons, exist in SimNation. [[Criminal|Crime]] does not seem to be treated harshly, with fines and short-term prison sentences being the only punishments. The police are also capable of raiding suspicious places. Few crimes are seen in the Sims Series, but the SimCity series looks into crime further. Careers like [[Law Enforcement]] and [[Law]] are examples that there is a solid law system in SimNation.

==Royalty==
[[File:W proper trait.png|40px|left]]SimNation appears to be a republic, with no royal family considered as heads of state for the entire nation. However, a few pre-made Sims seem to be of royal or noble descent, although whether they are part of a largely defunct monarchy belonging to SimNation itself or inherited their titles from ancestors in another country is never clarified.
There is a royal family in [[Hidden Springs]] named the [[Vanderburg family|Vanderburgs]]. The "[[Catarina Vanderburg|Queen]]" holds the job title [[Political
[[Princess Zaghawa Maximus]] is implied to be descended from a royal line, possibly of a SimNative tribe. However, her wealth and status in SimNation are likely due to her celebrity as an opera singer rather than her lineage.
