== Location Description and Background ==
Springfield is a small town established by The Simpsons in the Engo Valley, 46 miles southwest of Orupembe, Namibia, Republic of Bodil. From the coast, it appears that springfield is a modern town with tall buildings, houses, and even a nuclear power plant. However, these are merely cardboard charades to hide the towns more simple and western appearance (potentially to protect from French invaders who believe that the town is a R.O.B city). The town is split into East and West Springfield by No Man's Land. The Inhabitants of this town are very defensive against the French, as their town was split in half both by these French invaders and because they "...committed the sin of inbreeding." Marge mentions that their ancestors created something horrifying. The following quotes from Marge Simpson tell the tale of what split their civilization in half."We committed the sin of inbreeding."
"We created monsters, demons even."
"...We couldn’t understand why they spread so far. Then we found it. We heard the music from beyond the fields. The fields were filled with black goop. It killed all of the original wild life. Only lifeless corpses of our old society remained.” (Referring to the French)Edward Regnard refers to Springfield as, "...the promised land of Springfield!" This supports the story of Marge, who mentions the French people music coming from No Man's Land, as well as the black goop which killed all the wildlife. 
== Historical Speculation ==
When Marge mentions that the people of Springfield created monsters through inbreeding, this likely references the mythological or religious cause that the Simpsons theorize is the cause of No Man's Land. As we know, No Man's Land is likely created entirely by the French due to their music playing in the hills, and their black goop. With the evidence that Regnard refers to Springfield as the promised land, it is possible that at some point in history Springfield was the site of a French Colony that was eventually re-conquered by the local Simpson population. However, it is also possible that the ancestors of the modern day Simpsons created half Simpson-half French children, thus explaining the 'Demons' they had created. As there is little direct evidence of what happened to Springfield, there can only be speculation as to what really happened here all those years ago.
== Discovery and Independence ==
After the Events of Act 4, Bodil helped Springfield become a U.N. Recognized state, likely through mentioning the Simpsons during a U.N. meeting. Soon after, Springfield was established as an independent city-state, and Homer Simpson was elected as their leader. As of current, Springfield remains independent from the R.O.B, and will likely stay that way. 
== Fun Facts ==
* Springfield has an official Boatmaster; Rick Sanchez. He is also potentially the reason that Springfield has elements of American-Western culture, speaks English, and has access to horses.
* Despite the No Man's Land between East and West Springfield, it is assumed that these halves re-establish contact when Springfield gains Independence. 
* The De-Facto leader of West Springfield is John Dis, who claims to be "mayor of Springfield" despite the town being divided
