SpongeBob Squarepants and his friends live in the underwater city of Bikini Bottom. Bikini Bottom is like a regular city with a downtown, suburbs, coastal areas, its own airport, bus system, and fair park. Stephen Hillenburg said once that Bikini Bottom was loosely based on Seattle, Washington.[2] An example of this statement is in the episode "Pre-Hibernation Week". Sandy and SpongeBob were fighting on a tall structure called the Sea Needle, referring to the Space Needle, a tall structure in Seattle. Hillenburg has said that he wants to leave the location of Bikini Bottom to the imagination, claiming that the Baywatch scene from the movie was just a reference to his favorite show of all time.
The residents of Bikini Bottom drive car-like vehicles called "boats".
Bikini Bottom is a city that is the main setting of the series, located at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.[3] It is where the series' main characters live and where most of the episodes take place. The city consists of various businesses, including restaurants, stores, and manufacturers. The city has a stable economy, balanced education and health systems, a structured government, and a firm law enforcement system. There are even stadiums, amusement parks, and other recreational facilities.
Bikini Bottom's geography is shown as consisting of mountains, dense forests, lakes, lagoons, caves, grasslands, reefs, rivers, and barren desert wastelands.
In the center of Bikini Bottom, the citizens work and live in large, gray buildings made of metal. There are some other forms of buildings, mostly aquatic-themed as seen above. Further out from the town citizens need to use whatever is available and easy to live in, such as Patrick's rock, SpongeBob's hollowed-out pineapple, and the Easter Island Head Squidward lives in.
Surrounding towns include Rock Bottom, New Kelp City, Ukulele Bottom, Failuretown, Quittersville, and Loserburg.
Bikini Bottom's populace, like that of the rest of the series, consists mostly of various anthropomorphic fish, whales, crabs, sponges, squid, octopuses, starfish, anchovies, lobsters, sharks, and most other forms of sea life, including sea monsters. Some forms of sea life, like jellyfish, seahorses, snails, manatees, and worms are not anthropomorphic, and are treated like pets or wild animals. For example, clams represent bats and birds, snails represent cats, and worms represent dogs. Sandy and Craig Mammalton are the only land creatures seen living in modern Bikini Bottom. Land creatures like humans, bugs and birds are rarely seen. Inhabitants of Bikini Bottom are called "Bikini Bottomites"[citation needed].
Although the citizens of Bikini Bottom live underwater, they mostly do not float, and gravity usually applies. A flurry of bubbles accompanies actions in many of the episodes to remind the viewer that the setting is underwater. However, the laws of physics in Bikini Bottom change somewhat from time to time, but mostly the water acts like air. For instance, characters can pour a glass of liquid, and fire and electrical appliances are seen and fully functional. Bikini Bottom has functional baths, pools, toilets, lakes and streams. All creatures in the series, with the exception of Sandy, are completely dependent on water for survival; if any sea creature on the show (even those that can survive above water, such as crabs) goes on dry land, they begin to rapidly dehydrate and eventually suffocate.
In addition to this, underwater worms bark exactly like dogs, and are kept on chains. Jellyfish are the equivalent of bees; buzzing, "stinging" with electricity, and producing delicious "jelly", mocking the name "jellyfish", while still referring to a bee's honey. Clams act as birds, and fish act as the citizens of the community but generally are not important characters.
