00: Background
Decades ago, the Dread Cow of Simtopia attacked the Grand Llama of Simvania, and the war ravaged both lands for years. At last, Simtopia bombed the Grand Llama's summer home in the island province of Simbia. The dirty bomb destroyed all buildings on Simbia, and poisoned the land for many years to come. The nearby island of Simber was not hit directly, but was close enough to be destroyed in the blast radius, and was also poisoned, but to a lesser degree.
Now, the Grand Llama and his Councill of Ellders want their summer homes back. The Corps of Engineers have been sending robotic worker drones to clean up all the rubble on the islands and testing the environment for poison, and they are now 68% certain that Simbia could support sim life. This level of certainty is NOT good enough for the leaders of Simvania, but they need some sims to test it out. So, they have decided to form a penal colony in Simbia. Since Simbia was hit the worst, once it is safe (read: Once Simbia reaches 50,000 population, according to BACC rules), they'll know for sure that Simber is just fine for them to rebuild for the use of actual Simvanian citizens.
In Simvania, anyone who commits a crime, such as theft, embezzlement or playing their music too loud, is summarily executed by CowPlant (thus keeping the Grand Llama, the Councill of Ellders, and their families alive and youthful), so clearly, criminals are the ideal candidates to test the lethality of the island province, since they are "dead," anyway, and have lost their citizenship. The Councill, therefore, chooses eight adult sims, young, healthy, and fertile, and places them in a processing center on Simbia.
