Altered (United) States: Nevada “Robostate!”
Two years into the Human/Robot War, the robots, who were winning, made the world an offer they couldn’t refuse: Give them a section of each continent that would be entirely theirs and they’d stop fighting. The humans agreed without hesitation.
In North America, the robots chose the state of Nevada as their homeland, mostly because they liked its shape. All humans were evacuated in less than 10 days and the robots moved in and set up shop.
The entire state is ringed by an energy fence that only seems to affect humans and robots. Try to cross the border and you get disintegrated. And yes, the fence does extend across Lake Tahoe.
The robots have built five cities and two spaceports in the state, but have otherwise left the rest of it to nature. All former human habitations have been obliterated. The Nevada robots trade with the robots in Uruguay, Australia, Laos, Spain and Nigeria, but not with Antarctica. Actually, Antarctica trades with nobody.
So far, the robots in Nevada have made no effort to contact any other state, but once a year, on June 11th, several hundred thousand of them gather at the border with Idaho and stare north from one hour before dawn to one hour after dusk. Nobody knows why, but it creeps the hell out of the Idahoans.
