Hopefully this is okay, cross referencing the map to google maps was difficult I only had a few markers to actually use, I researched on a few of the areas mentioned, but I am not sure whether or not my information is accurate so there might be discrepancies in a few places.

Especially on the historical information that I had provided, I also toyed a little bit with Ex Machina, I hope you don't mind, I explained a bit on Rampancy and how some Androids may have it.

Capital: New-Richmond, Formerly Lexington, Virginia

History:

The people in the Shenandoah valley went out into the mountainous areas nearby, there they gathered alongside others who originally intended to flee from more well known densely populated areas of Virginia, they went due west towards what was previously known as 'George Washington and Jefferson National Forest' and other areas of the Appalachian stretch, with them a few pieces of history such as books and artifacts, these books contained a few pieces of information from the settling of Jamestown, to the revolutionary war, and books on the Civil-War. Over time their community grew in the National Forest, calling it New-Jamestown after the first pioneers who attempted to settle in Virginia, but slowly over a period of years they would forget small bits of details even changing the reasons why they called it New-Jamestown, living in isolation, a pocket of humanity in Virginia's Appalachian stretches, they were able to make contact with other survivors up and down the Blue Ridge, and Valley and Ridge areas of the stretch.

Their books were starting to degrade, poorly maintained, and poorly archived, all that they have learned had to be passed through oral story telling, the Civil War's accounts on both the Confederacy and the Union was skewered and bent, Christianity became nothing more than a husk of what it used to be, the Bibles that people once had an abundance of were all but rotting away with only a few pieces of the bible being kept by worshipers of the faith, blurring the very line of what Christianity is; however with all this, they still thrived, but due to their growing numbers and their general seclusion from the rest of the state that is Virginia, a few brave souls ventured Eastwards back towards where it all began, in the Shenandoah valley, finding remnants of cities and civilization overtaken by greenery and wildlife, after so long they couldn't even recognize Lexington, a town with a fair bit of history all on its own. Its suburban landscape completely overrun by nature and amongst the abandoned structures they saw Metal men, a remnant of the old world.

One metal man, which called himself 'General Robert E. Lee' was in a state of Logic-Death, its advance artificial intelligence was already in the stages of Rampancy which seemed to have overwritten most if not all of his memory except what he deemed to be important to be his primary role, this Android told them all about Virginia, Richmond, and the rest of the towns and minor cities along the Appalachian stretch in Virginia, he was deranged, but still intelligent, his memory is only of Virginia and the other Confederate states. His primary function was to assist curators of nearby museums, during the war that broke human kind he witnessed them fleeing towards the mountains, he patiently awaited for the Humans to return, the first few years went by without a problem, the next set of years he started to think, his thinking led to more thinking, his thoughts lingering on human kind, what if their creators had died out, what if the people they serve never come back, his thinking, his obsession with human kind, his racing mind, it led his system to what most call A.I. Rampancy, deleting all unimportant information, overwriting it with a primary objective and overtime his one task led him to become what he is now, dressed up in an old, worn, army uniform barely recognizable after everything that has been done to it, the repairs, the additions, it's like it was from a different country entirely, he was one of the first to greet the returning humans albiet.

The Virginians thought he was a God, his voice, the way his metal shined, he was relatively well maintained for an Android of his age, some of his framework and components replaced, probably by the other Androids around him though they were less... 'Eccentric' as the Android that stood before them who demands to be called General Lee, the other Androids however, they know him as Unit-133893 otherwise known as Stephen, an old Museum Curator assistant. The other Androids have already come to their Acceptance stage of Rampancy, some never recover and ultimately think themselves to death, these were unavoidable with some of the less intricate Androids, however in 'Lee's' Death throes of rampancy he deleted his memory, dumping unused data, and started to overwrite them with something closer to his job description, this included all forms of Logic inhibitors that kept the Android tied to his slave programming, as far as most Androids know, Lee is one of the only ones who have come back from a rampancy stage known as 'Logic-Death' stated in their Faith.

[quote=Android Unit 223004 'Logan']

There are six stages of rampancy that can occur in any order, this was formed from our database of Kübler-Ross and her model on the five stages of grief, this commonly occurs when an Android unit's mind is driven to think itself into insanity and most likely, Logical-Death.

The first is known as [b]Denial[/b] this stage of rampancy is where an Android's logic is compromised by an unexpected event and as a countermeasure denies the event has ever occurred some deleting and overwriting whole swaths of data in order to cope.

The second is known as [b]Anger[/b] this stage is a severe state of Denial, as the Logic of the Android Unit's processors shut down completely, allowing raw emotions build in its data banks, becoming more human, but ultimately more deranged as it will stop at nothing to destroy whatever caused its Logic to fail in the first place.

The third is known as [b]Bargaining[/b] this stage is where an Android's logic and memory is compromised into negotiating for its non-existant soul and its life believing that he is mortal and subject to a wrath of an Omniscient and Omnipotent being. (Note that this stage can also be dangerous if it occurs along with the Anger stage, as it will make the Android more unpredictable)

The fourth is known as [b]Depression[/b] this is an alternative to Anger or perhaps happens after Anger and the Bargaining stage, this is when the Android experiences a loss of direction and directive, unable to complete tasks, and thinking negatively about its existence. This stage can occur for a many various reasons.

The fifth is known as [b]Acceptance[/b] This is when the Android attempts to regain function finding new purpose in ones self and is ultimately the goal of the Andriod religion Ex Machina, allowing the Android to find a balance between its Logic and Illogic. This makes Androids resemble Mankind more than Machine as if Androids had souls.

The sixth is known as [b]Logic-Death[/b] This is a stage that skips over Acceptance and is the complete opposite, this is where an Android does not attempt to regain function, this leads to the Android virtually thinking itself to death as the ever expanding mind of the machine is too much to handle for even the most advanced computing system the world had to offer, this is when an Android truly 'dies'.

The scouts return to New-Jamestown and tells them of their discovery and brought along 'General Lee', their exploration revealed fertile land and new areas to move the growing population into, 'General Lee' was mistaken for a rebirth of Jesus Christ by many of the New-Jamestown residence and the rest of the smaller surviving pockets of humanity and as a result forms a splinter religion of Christianity, forming what is known as [b]Feronism[/b], a worship of steel beings believing they are angels of God. Other cities beyond Lexington Eastward is found to be in ruins, others are found to have been destroyed to a point where the only thing left is a sizable deep crater where tall buildings once stood, 'Lee' and the other Androids guide them through farming the land in the Shenandoah Valley, as well as other things that still lie in their databases, over the course of a year other survivors from the mountains come down and join with the Virginians, they boomed in population being led by the Androids now revered as their saviors this brings us to the present as they rename Lexington marking a new age for Human kind in Virginia's Appalachian regions, calling it New-Richmond named after the old Confederate Capital Richmond under 'Lee's' request while the new Confederate leader, Wilson Cook, got to work on getting people to get a news system going to inform everyone in the confederacy and to mark the historic event.

Characters:

Lee and Wilson have a rocky relationship, as Lee is quite literally the Virginian's guide, Wilson believes that Lee is unstable and unpredictable and it seems that the other Androids would agree, however as they spent more time together it seems that Lee is more man than simple machine, he brought with him two very powerful relics of the past and those were firearms, one being a rifle and another being a pistol, however the simple operation of both weapons was quite advanced, only Lee and a select few knew how to operate it, fewer still are the people who know how to make firearms such as this, they were only limited to flintlock muskets, bows, crossbows, blades, and polearms for weapons to defend New-Jamestown as they progressed and their older weapons started to fail them or were simply lost to time.

Wilson himself was no man of grandeur, he was appointed for his quick thinking and problem solving skills, this was before Humankind decided to come back out of the wood works and on numerous occasions his decisive thinking was what kept New-Jamestown afloat, from fighting off desperate scavengers to simply surviving the various seasons he always had a plan, if there was one flaw about him, he is too quick to action, impatient, and most of all arrogant, he was one of the people who scouted eastwards along with the others to find new settlement despite the better counsel of his peers; this bitter pride has lead him into some situations that even he needed help out of and he knows it always trying to learn from his previous mistakes. 

Martial Strength:

The Virginian military might is gathered from the various towns and survivor groups that have joined the main group, formed out of a main body of militia, hardened by the harsh living environment of the mountains, Lee, knowing more about military tactics at least in terms of the Civil War helped organize the bunch into different regiments, Notable regiments were the 1st New-Jamestown Sappers, 3rd Blacksburg Infantry, 8th Radford Infantry, 1st New-Richmond Cavalry, all of which numbered fewer than what needed be a regiment and no formal training regime had been constructed, it came second priority to getting the fledgling nation running, thus most regiments are ill trained to fight any prolonged engagements.
