SimNation

SimNation (commonly abbreviated to the S.N.) is a supercontinent. Climate and geography vary widely by region. The Continental SN is bordered in the north by Canada and in the south by Mexico. The Pacific Northwest contains the Cascade Mountains, which divide the region into rainy and more arid segments. The Southwest has mountains, deserts, and fertile valleys. Its population centers are the San Fransisco Bay Area and the Los Angeles and San Diego metropolitan areas. The Sierra Nevada Mountains run from North to South and   The Pacific Northwest is rainy to the west of the Cascade Mountains, and much drier to the east. The coastal area seldom experiences temperature extremes. Most of California has a Mediterranean climate, with a hot, dry summer and a mild winter. The Rocky Mountain and Plains states, because of their mid-continental location, endure extremes of heat and cold. To the east of the Mississippi River the climate is generally moist year-round, with higher temperatures in the south. During winter the Midwest and New England can have crippling snow storms. The Mid-Atlantic and South are generally hot, humid and unpleasant during the summer months. Hawaii's climate is tropical, generally warm and humid year-round. Alaska endures months of cold and dark during the winter and enjoys generally beautiful summer months.
