* A facility in Amman, Jordan that featured in Series/TheGrandTour.

* There's a ColdWar UrbanLegend (that inspired several of the above examples) that the KGB had simulated American streets/towns/cities (it varies) in secret locations which were used for the training of spies infiltrating the United States, teaching them to be perfect Americans in every way. Actual 'illegals' were more likely to get around this problem by posing as immigrants from European countries, so a detailed background check or minor cultural mistake would not give them away, and get their training in a BoringButPractical classroom.

* The second ''[[Film/TheExpendables Expendables]]'' movie has the heroes bivouac in one of these in Eastern Europe while tracking down the Sang, then get ambushed by them the following morning.

Good place for [[DangerRoomColdOpen tricking the audience]]. It can also be used for espionage training.

TruthInTelevision, as some military bases do make use of these as part of their training courses.

* Where the {{New52}} version of ''Comicbook/{{Superboy}}'' spends the majority of his time after being released from the tank.

* There are a couple of these in [[CHERUBSeries CHERUB]], including an SAS training facility near the campus, and an American version where a group of the kids are part of the Red Team against American military personnel.

* The NewJediOrder novel ''Star By Star'' featured two facilities of this sort. One was built for the YVH-class droids, and was accurate down to the "pedestrians" (actually weapons techs, who knew the droid wouldn't target them) - and absolutely no challenge whatsoever for the YVH. The other was designed to train voxyn and included not just buildings and walkways but (nonfunctional) vehicles, aircraft, and even a wrecked AT-AT, along with a sizable slave population to play the "residents".

* The Riot Force 6 in ''NanohaStrikerS'' erects an entire city block MadeOfMagic over the nearby ocean bay to provide cheap training grounds for the Forwards.

* Warhammer40K: One of the Tau codexes has an Ordo Xenos Inquisitor making a diplomatic visit to a Tau world. The Tau dignitary coincidentally leads him past a training area full of drilling Fire Warriors that just happens to bear great resemblance to a gutted Imperial city, with mock-up burned and wrecked vehicles that look suspiciously like Imperial Guard tanks.

* On ''InvaderZim,'' [[VillainProtagonist Zim]] can apparently pull this off with holograms, as seen in "GIR Goes Crazy and Stuff." It includes a holographic [[HeroAntagonist Dib]] that uses HulkSpeak.

* The Game Boy Colour version of ''PerfectDark''.
* AmericasArmy basically uses this for half of its maps. Now, since the players effectively make each map a warzone, there are very few civilians around. Those that are still in the area are usually hostages.

* The Literature/JamesBond novels ''Literature/{{Brokenclaw}}'' and ''Literature/RoleOfHonour''.

* In the ''{{Discworld}}'' fanfic ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5952595/1/Why-and-were Why and Were]]'', it is revealed that Commander Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch has provided such a training facility for recruit Watch members, at his own expense. This is nicknamed "Toytown", possibly by multiversal resonance with the British Army version '''(below)'''.

* The second ''[[TheExpendables Expendables]]'' movie has the heroes bivouac in one of these in Eastern Europe while tracking down the Sang, then get ambushed by them the following morning.

* ''BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' had a BatmanColdOpen where he was training the Outsiders this way.

* The British Army maintains a whole mocked-up small town for training soldiers in urban combat. Nicknamed "Toytown" by generations of Toms, it has gone through three distinct incarnations in its lifecycle. It began as a simulation of the sort of small German town in which the British Army of the Rhine might expect to be fighting the Russians. The buildings took a corresponding amount of damage as intensive training was given in knocking holes in walls to move under cover, planting mines, booby traps and IED's, and generally blowing things up. It became equally important to train troops in low-intensity patrolling and fighting, so it took on a more Northern Irish aspect over time. Most recently, British Moslem groups objected to its makeover as a vaguely Middle Eastern town, complete with mock-mosque.

* On ''InvaderZim,'' [[VillainProtagonist Zim]] can apparently pull this off with holograms, as seen in "GIR Goes Crazy and Stuff." It includes a holographic [[HeroAntagonist Dib]] that uses SimpletonSpeech.
