New California Republic

"'Nothing will ever break up our home. We will create a new future - without the mistakes of the past.'"The New California Republic, commonly referred to as the NCR, is a massive power on the western coast of the former United States of America, particularly California. They grew from a small community out of a settlement known as Shady Sands to arguably the most powerful faction on the continent, to become a full fledged superpower.

History
The history of the Republic dates back to the survivors of Vault 15 who emerged from the shelter around 2097 and founded the town of Shady Sands. With the assistance of Vault Dweller, who destroyed the Khan raider tribe, Aradesh and his daughter, Tandi, led the community into prosperity. With expanding trade routes came cultural exchange, eventually culminating in a movement aiming at forming a national entity. The idea resonated with other wastelanders and won popular support, leading to the formation of the New California Republic in Shady Sands in 2186, with a trial council government established to draft the constitution. Three years later, in 2189, the Republic proper was voted into existence as a federation of five states organized around major settlements in the wastes: Shady Sands, Los Angeles, Maxson, Hub, and Dayglow.

Government
The NCR is a democratic federation, modeling itself on the government of pre-War United States. The government is divided into three branches: legislative, executive and judicial.
