Japan

If the United States is a pleasant place for syncs to live, Japan is a utopia. Being the consistent, unshakable worldwide leader in robotics long before artificial intelligence became a reality, the Japanese people were no stranger to robots in their everyday lives. Watching them grow increasingly intelligent in front of their eyes made the transition from creators and owners to neighbors and coworkers a relatively smooth one. Japanese syncs are given the same rights as humans, including the right to marry and intermarry, and work alongside humans everywhere from rice paddies to government offices. The only systemic social discrimination here is a matter of manufacturer rather than life form: the Japanese believe Japanese-made syncs to be technologically superior, and built with more skilled craftsmanship. In many cases, they are not wrong. Japan is also one of the largest mod suppliers in the world, and the leading source of both cosmetic and sexual mods.
