Sansara
Sansara is the oldest and most complex of all mainland continents. It is the bigest continent, with 900 sims. About Sansare there are more articles then about all other continents together.
Since the Geography and History of Sansara are well studied, this page is made to give links to these pages.

Situation in 2013
After the discovery of Heterocera and the build of all new continents, Sansara was left to its own fate. The construction of new sims was cancelled and many projects were left unfinished. This can be seen very clear in Bay City and its suburbs. The Bay City tram is still unfinished (it should end somewhere close to Nova Albilon and meet the Nova Albilon tram). The Color Sims have unfinished shores and there is a large gap between the Color Sims and Bay City suburbs. There are some 'protected land' parcels that should form roads, but they look like an abandoned building place.
Sansara had 3 railway sistems: GSLR in the color sims, ONSR in the snowlands and the Bay City railway (Bay City area) and two tram lines in Bay City. The new SJRR (Sutherland Junction Railway) is a resident-to-resident railway that connects the sims Sutherland, Lily, Hartwick and Gogebic. The presence of 3 private railways in this continent shows a great interest for this kind of transportation, so a transcontinental railway to connect all should be required.
Population density is not equal. The old part of Sansara (with the most interesting Geographical features and transportation ways) is the most populated. In this part, land for sale is rare and abandoned land is almost unexistent. In contrast, the Eastern sims (mainly the South-Eastern) are full of parcels of abandoned land, rentals are present but a large surface is not rented.
By comparation, the shape of the continent suffered little changes. The Islands in East have changed a bit their shapes.
The ANWR channel connects Heterocera and Sansara. It is the thinest transcontinental channel, but the most busy. The problem is that in Sansara, the only way to move is by railway, with the GSLR. A road connection to the main continental network is required.
