The New California Republic (NCR) is one of the main fanctions in the game. It is a shining light of law and order in the wasteland. The NCR is a democratic nation headed out of Shady Sands, California, though their borders extend more east than modern-day California. Being a "functioning nation with an army"; they must be more humane than the other factions and have to rely on high command.

Summary

"Do you know what you're doing? Making a nation like you think you're doing, ain't like chowing down on a pile of Fancy Lad Snack Cakes. Think you got the guts to to carve out a frontier? Build towns, protect the roads, run supplies, train troops?"

- Lee Oliver, General of the New California Republic.

The New California Republic, also known as NCR stands as a beacon of democracy and order in the wasteland, a federal presidential republic carved out of the pre-war California and extending its influence over five contiguous states, along with territories in Nevada and Baja California. The NCR has been expanding to the northwest, approaching Washington.

Rooted in old values of democracy, personal freedom, and the sanctity of law, the NCR's mission transcends mere governance. Their goals are to restore civilization, to uplift infrastructure and economic frameworks, and to foster peace amidst the chaos. Yet, the NCR it’s not devoid of flaws and challenges, the Republic grapples with challenges of expansion, territorial disputes, wavering loyalties, and the rising of corruption, obstacles that threatens its noble aspirations.

New California Republic History

The NCR was orginally founded in 2141 by the people of Vault 15, the ancestors of Aradesh, as Shady Sands because of overpopulation and radically diverse ideologies inside of the vault. Using a G.E.C.K. kit, they were able to make the land around them hospitible for plant life. By 2161 Shady Sands was a small but thriving agricultural town headed by an elected elder (at this time Aradesh). During this time, the town was attacked constantly by raiders in hopes to open up the town to moretrade. After a vault dweller was able to destroy Unity, a mutant hive-mind army controlled by The Master, Shady Sands befriended Junktown in their first step towards becoming the NCR.

In 2186, after years of expansion through trade routes, Aradesh proposed the idea of the NCR to other major cities in the region, bringing them to Shady Sands to draft a constitution. 3 years later, the NCR was offically established with Aradesh as its first president and a Senate housed in Shady Sands. After his death, his daughter took office as president and 2 years into her presidency Shady Sands was offically made the capital of the New California Republic.

Over the next 80 years, the town began to prosper and become one of the biggest and most advanced cities in the wasteland and it became the largest city not based on pre-war structures. Eventually, the quality of life became close to that of pre-war times. By 2241 the town has functioning running water, sewage, defensive walls, a functioning police force, and the population had reached 3,000. In that same year, the NCR had begun its conquest north taking its ancestral home of Vault 15.

By 2248, the nation had pushed into a new era. It's expasionist policy had worked very well and had pushed the NCR into a great regional power. Eventually the NCR became less focused on their capital and more focused on expanding. In this new era, many are upset as many businessmen and successful capitalists have taken much power over the Senate and have much more influence than most citizens want. Eventually, the NCR had reached borders that looked much like modern-day California and from this, they had begun to set foundations in these new lands.

In 2271, the Ranger Unification Treaty was signed, absorbing the Desert Rangers into the NCR Rangers (NCRR). While the NCRR were elite soldiers that operated parallel but sometimes alongside the NCR Army, The Desert Rangers were the remnants from the pre-war Texas Rangers and were focused on keeping peace within the regions of Nevada, New Mexico, and Arizona. By signing this treaty, The NCRR became an elite fighting force that were feared across the wasteland, but it came at a cost. They NCR promsied to take control of the regions previosly patrolled by the Desert Rangers and that meant war with Ceaser's Legion.

They current year in game is 2274, Open conflict with the Mojave Brotherhood of Steel is ongoing, skirmishes with Ceaer's Legion are happening but full out war is yet to happen, the Midwest and Washington Brotherhood of Steels are not in conflict with the NCR. ashi
