SimNation was experiencing a major population boom. SimNation decided to give some land away in an unused area of the nation to six deserving families as that is all they had to money for. It was by law that if SimNation gave out land, it had to give the families $20,000.

The six families were chosen for a variety of reasons. Their familys’ impact on SimNation, the neediness of the family, amongst other things.

The Bruton Family was one of the initial founding families of SimNation and Chris Bruton had gone through the hardship of raising his son after his wife divorced him.

The Wilcox Family had just lost their head of house to a freak accident during the war against SimKingdom. They were granted a plot of land for their hardship.

The Campbell Family was very well respected family line. Stanley Campbell had just lost his wife to a mysterious illness that had been going around. The crowded and often unsanitary living conditions people were living in only made the illness that much worse.

Picture: Milo Hawthorne (adult male), Milissa Hawthorne (adult female), Jonathon Hawthorne (toddler male), and Christi Hawthorne (toddler female)
The Hawthorne Family was a well respected family and Millisa Hawthorne was hoping to be the first female Captain Hero. Milo Hawthorne was a very well respected scientist and he had worked with Stanley’s late wife, but hadn’t met her family. He was unable to attend her funeral due to his wife giving birth to twins shortly beforehand.

Picture: Ericka Swift (adult female), Zaida Swift (child female), and James Swift (child male)
The Swift Family was an alien family. Ericka Swift was here with her twins, Zaida and James. In her species mothers raised kids on their own without a father’s influence. SimNation felt it better for her to live in a more spacious environment in order for her to get used to the life on this planet.

Picture: Zach Wilkes (blonde adult male placeholder), Heather (Ratliff) Wilkes (adult female placeholder), Trent Ratliff (black haired adult male), Sean (Wilkes) Ratliff (teen male)
The Wilkes Family was very well respected and well liked. Zach Wilkes was the former leader of SimNation but stepped down with Sean was a kid and had developed cancer. Sean survived his cancer, but shortly after he started high school, his parents were killed in a car crash and he was sent to live with his mom’s brother, Trent Ratliff. Trent Ratliff was granted entry due to his family ties with Zach and Heather and the fact that their son was in his legal care.
