===NCR===

Emerging out of the efforts of the Vault Dweller from FO1, the New California Republic was built with the trappings of pre-War California. They adhere to the principles of democracy and equality, though in reality, due to the difficulty of holding a country together in the wasteland, influence and power is bought by cattlefucking ranchers, unscrupulous arms dealers, and [[Rogue Traders|caravan companies]]. That, and their recent expansionist policies have stretched much of their military thin, and have also angered many communities who weren't keen on being annexed and taxed by the Republic. Though they're waaaaaay better than most of the other factions in the Wasteland, it's kind of a hard sell joining the faction that's so bad at its job, [[GRIMDARK|its Chief Ranger would rather die and have all his boys go down with him in a blaze of glory]] than let them be used as pawns in NCR power games. 

Having said all of this, even the most jaded and disheartened citizens and soldiers of the NCR still hold at least a grudging respect for the principles they live under, or realize how bad all the alternative groups are, which is often the main selling point to support the Republic, more so than just the fact that they are a "democracy". In fact, the NCR's greatest flaws also feed into their greatest strength. The [[Imperium of Man|NCR may be an overstretched, disorganized and corrupt expansionist government]], but despite that it's still [[Humanity Fuck Yeah|full of everyday decent people on the ground trying to make some difference with what they got.]]
