Nevada (i/nəˈvædə/ or /nəˈvɒdə/) is a state in the western, mountain west, and southwestern regions of the United States. Nevada is the 7th most extensive, the 35th most populous, and the 9th least densely populated of the 50 United States. Over two-thirds of Nevada's people live in one single county, Clark County, which contains the Las Vegas–Paradise metropolitan area, where the state's three largest incorporated cities are located. Nevada's capital is Carson City.
Nevada is largely desert and semiarid, with much of it located within the Great Basin. Areas south of the Great Basin are located within the Mojave Desert, while Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada mountains lie on the western edge. Approximately 86% of the state's land is owned by the US government under various jurisdictions, both civilian and military.
The name Nevada is derived from the nearby Sierra Nevada mountains, which means "snow-capped mountain range" in Spanish. The land comprising the modern state was inhabited by Native Americans of the Paiute, Shoshone, and Washoe tribes prior to European contact. It was subsequently claimed by Spain as a part of Alta California until the Mexican War of Independence brought it under Mexican control. The United States gained the territory in 1848 following its victory in the Mexican-American War and the area was eventually incorporated as part of Utah Territory in 1850. The discovery of silver at the Comstock Lode in 1859 led to a population boom that was an impetus to the creation of Nevada Territory out of western Utah Territory in 1861. Nevada became the 36th state on October 31, 1864.

Plot: The series is a comedy that follows the misadventures of Gwen Morgan, a 35-year-old actress living in Los Angeles. The woman is a walking contradiction--she's intelligent, but naive (especially when it comes men) and she's a loyal friend, but can be self-centered and oblivious. Maggie and Martin are Gwen's twenty-something best friends. Both are geeks and sci-fi fans who can't go a day without making a reference to Star Wars, Star Trek, Alien, etc. Since Gwen is a child of the 80's and seriously challenged when it comes to all things hip, the two have to work hard to keep her in the 21st century. Gwen is a magnet for drama, so they also do their best to keep her out of trouble. Recurring characters include Alistair McCrackin, a loud, irritable Scotsman. He's a genius with a weakness for women and always broke because of it. Not to be left out is an unnamed, ill-mannered video store clerk who turns out to be quite ubiquitous. He's the loser with ten dead-end jobs and he's everywhere. In the pilot episode, Gwen's 10-year acting career is still going nowhere and her personal life is no better. This is the day her life finally falls apart. The low-budget horror script (starring herself of course) that she's been working on since she moved to Los Angeles is suddenly gone and her hottie part-time bartender boyfriend just dumped her. Luckily, Gwen's two great friends, Maggie and Martin, stick by her side and help her in the quest to find her script, her boyfriend and herself.
