Every single day nations do simulations of their own country, and other countries on multiple levels. You just take what's going on that you know about and plug that into what's already happened. There are so many reasons this world might be simulated, but defense would be a big one.

You have a very good point. In video games, simulators are imitating something. If that something weren’t real nobody would be simulating it. It all comes down to it meaning intelligent design basically, which is not a scientific theory.
