'''[[SimNation]]''' is the fictional country in which all ''[[The Sims (series)|Sims]]'' games take place. SimNation is geographically diverse, featuring coastal areas, mountains, deserts, grassy plains, and other unique regions. SimNation has its own currency - the [[Simoleon]] (§), and its own national animal - the [[Llama]]. The vast majority of residents in SimNation are [[Sims]], though there are other sentient species, as well as wild animals (skunks, raccoons, bears, penguins and fish, to name a few) and [[pet]]s. |

Mention is made numerous times in-game to locations outside SimNation, both real ([[Champs Les Sims|France]], [[Shang Simla|China]], and [[Al Simhara|Egypt]]), as well as fictional (The 'Old Country').
