I've modified a few of the historical facts of the area in question to enhance things a bit, and I will be adding new stories that have popped into my mind, as well as any future ones, over the course of the next few months.

	The Uncanny Valley was formed and established in the year 2050, following a devastating third world war. The area in question, encompassing large sections of what used to be Washington State, and the southwestern area of British Columbia. During the war, this area was heavily irradiated by multiple nuclear blasts, effectively turning it into a dead zone for any biological lifeforms for nearly a century.

The area in question, encompassing large sections of what used to be Washington State, and the southwestern area of British Columbia. During the war, this area was heavily irradiated by multiple nuclear blasts, effectively turning it into a dead zone for any biological lifeforms for nearly a century.

	Also, during the war, artificial lifeforms were used as cannon fodder, laborers, and even as sexual companions for the soldiers. After the war ended, they started being sent in to be destroyed or otherwise reprogrammed. Not wishing to have their lives terminated, they staged an organized, yet non-life-threatening uprising, stealing large ships and supplies and fleeing to the radiation zone to avoid human contact.

Not wishing to have their lives terminated, they staged an organized, yet non-life-threatening uprising, stealing large ships and supplies and fleeing to the radiation zone to avoid human contact.

	Although there were a few skirmishes, the android population started building their own cities, since they were programmed to be human and still wanted to act as such. In the process of building communities, they were also able to clean up the ~~radiological~~ waste and start making the place safer to live for humans who wished to live and work on androids.

In the process of building communities, they were also able to clean up the radio-logical waste and start making the place safer to live for humans who wished to live and work on androids.

	Following evidence that the area was being cleaned in a much faster rate than nature could manage, the human populations formed a peace treaty with the inhabitants, and the area was formally named The Uncanny Valley, an homage to an old psychological condition where humans treat hyper realistic androids with revulsion.

	Over the course of the next century, The Uncanny Valley rapidly grew, with all the human populations sending their old, or out of date androids, along with unwanted ones, thus increasing the population. Most of the major A.I. developers also moved their headquarters to The Uncanny Valley, in order to work more efficiently with recycling end-of-life units.

	The Uncanny Valley adopted a similar political system to The United States, since it was an efficient model.

	Because The Uncanny Valley contains androids from over 50 separate manufacturers, as well as androids designed to look like every Human nationality, it has a very diverse culture utilizing every known Earth tradition and custom, though without the religious rituals.
