New Chinese Republic (Reverse Fallout)

Newly adopted flag modelled off the old Republic flag.

The **New Chinese Republic** (**NCR**), also referred to as **New China** or just **China**, is a large, post-war nation located on the Western and Southern areas of China. It consists of the 5 states of Shanghai, Maxon, Dayglow, Hub and Shady, along with the Southern Territory and Northern Territory, and the autonomous city of New Macau. The national capital is Shady Sands, while the largest and financial city is the Boneyard.

Established by the individuals who emerged from Vault 15 near Jiujiang, they used their GECK to transform the ruined town into Shady Sands along the Yangtze river. The ideas of a unified republic similar to the pre-war nation was first proposed by local leaders in Shady Sands before nearby settlements voting to form a republic. Giving birth to the NCR. During the 2240s, the republic began to expand south, seeking to incoporate major cities such as Vault City, Lạch Khô and Fuzhou. After the defeat of the Enclave, these hopes were relised. The NCR would then go to fight a costly war against the Brotherhood of Steel resulting in high inflation before contesting the area around New Wuhan. The Yangtze campaign would drag on as the Caesar dynasty began a bloody conflict with an amry of slaves modelled of the Roman Empire and the Han dynasty.

The NCR is a federal presidential-constitutional republic with three separate branches of government, including a bicameral legislature. Considered to be an interchange of different cultures and ethnicities, it has often spread it values and culture to other parts of the world. The Republic lacks universal health care, retains capital punishment, and has high levels of incarceration, inequality and corruption with Buffalo Barons holding large control over the government policies.

## Background

### Formation

After the defeat of the Master and the elimination of Super Mutants as a real threat to the local settlements, the idea of unification and a return of a unified republic began to be though by pre-war Ghouls and local unionists. The small town of Shady Sands became the center of unification with its words spreading fast along the Yangtze, eventually reaching major towns such as the Hub and the Boneyard. Soon an election was held in these settlements on rather to join and unify or remain independent. All settlements soon voted in favour and began federating with 5 new states being formed in 2237. Shady Sands *de facto* name became NCR and slavery, gambling and drugs were outlawed the best the law enforcements could. Aradesh, who was the leader of Shady Sands, was voted in with no polictical party.

### Southern Expansion

In search of resources and land, second-NCR president, Tandi, began the nation's expansion south. This brought them in contract with the pre-war government who had survived on an oil rig off the coast of Camp Maoming. Once the central command was defeated, the NCR seized control of the camp along with Brotherhood support. In the comming years, New Macau would join the NCR as an autonomous city in an effort to keep its gambling. Vault City, Lạch Khô and Fuzhou were incorporated peacefully years after. But in all of this, the republic was still needing power, water and food.

### Yangtze Campaign

In 2274, NCR forces made a move on the Sun Yat-sen dam along the Han Jiang river which flows into the Yangtze near New Wuhan. The occcupation of it and the surrounding areas was a blow to the Yangtze chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel stationed at HELIOS One who had plans to do the same. Soon the dams hydroelectricity was fixed and power began to make it way west. The appearance of civilization soon made Mr. Fáng zi spur into action and began renovating the city with the help of the local tribes. With the appearance of the Caesar dynasty, the NCR could not take over New Wuhan and the dam without being vulnerable to the Dynasty. Mr. Fáng zi and the NCR drew up the New Wuhan Treaty which gave control of the dam to the NCR in return of Wuhan's independence.

#### First Battle of Sun Yat-sen Dam

In 2277, the Dynasty led by the Maplais Legate attacked the dam but were defeated after being led into the nearby town of Xintao before the many C-4s that lined the town were detonated. General Li Oliver and Hanlon forced the Legate's forces back to the other side of the river. In a sign that defeat is not tolerated, Caesar had the Maplais Legate burnt and thrown into the river, with Cao Cao becoming the new Legate. Since then, the war has only became more bloody.

## Geography

### Biodiversity

The NCR lies on the border of two major biogeographic realms: the Paleartic and the Indomalayan. Most of the country lies within the Indomalayan realm. The plant life are dominated by conifer tree forests and large bamboo forests. For animal life, the Ginat Black bears and the double headed Pandas act as large carnivious predators with Rad-moose acting as their prey. Domestic animals include radchickens, radjungle fowls, mutated Water buffalo and varieties of sheep. The largest animals are the Great Asian elephants which dominate the frontier regions of the Southern Territories. Several Primates have developed increased brain mass due to radiation and pre-war experiments with Gibbons and Langurs forming small cities in the trees. Rodents have also evoled to adapt to sewers and are major carriers of disease. The Rodent Extermination Organization (REO) aims to exterminate or sterilize rodents, particurly those who carry strains of the New Plague. The nation aslo contains species of fungi. Near Hainan island, large portions of the penisula are dominated by fungi forests which light of the night.

### Environment

Since before the Great War, China has been polluted. Since the Great War, the Yangtze, along with many other rivers have become accidic with only the source of the waters being drinkable. But the building of purifiers and the usage of GECKs on the river has made it drinkable. The country also suffers from air pollution with the re-industrialization of major cities causing many deaths especially in big cities such as the Hub or the Boneyard. In 2264, the Environment Protection Act has sought to solve these problems with the building of green zones in cities. Shady Sands holds the largest park in the city followed by Vault City. The New Macau intiative is looking to make Macau less dependent on gambling with sea reclemation projects being built to create new green space.

The NCR government has also sought out renewable energies as old nuclear power plants are generally unsafe and coal and oil are to scarce. The capture of HELIOS One has brought in solar energy technology with wind power also being utilised. The largest renewable being used is hydro with the Sun Yat-sen dam providing enough power for the major cities. For local villages, buring of wood and bamboo have been used to create light as power is usually reserved for cities.

## Government and politics

The New Chinese Republic is a federal republic with 5 states, 2 territories and the autonomous city of New Macau. It is a federal republic with representative democracy in which minorities have rights that tempers with majority rule. Citizens are subject to 3 levels of government: local, state or territorial and federal. Local governments are commonly split between county and city. Executive and legislative are voted in by a plurality vote by citizens of that district to sit in the Hall of Congress in Shady Sands.

### Political divisons

The 5 states are the principal political divisions in the country. Each state holds jurisdiction over a defined geographic territory, where it shares sovereignty with the federal government. They are subdivided into counties, cities or equivalents and further divided into municipalities. The 2 major territories of the South and the North share most features of that of the states but hold less power with the federal government controlling more. Each state and territory chooses the president. Each state and territory has presidential electors equal to the number of their representatives and senators in Congress.

### Parties and elections

The NCR elections are held every 5 years with unlimited terms for its president. The longest serving president, Tandi, served for a total of 10 terms before dying. Cities usually vote in the Democratic and Imperial parites while the Republican party appeals to the country and small towns. Though they are both different, they tend to agree on certain subjects. Such as Republicans and Imperialists agreeing on further expansion and the religious ban of worhip of Children of Atom, while Democratics and Imperialists agree on Ghoul rights. If none of the 3 parties recieve the required votes, they can ally with smaller parties such as Hands of Wuhan, Ghoul Lives and No Mutants Allowed to form a government. In rare conditions, they ally with each others, such as the time the Imperialists and Republicans formed government to help the Imperial nominee, Aaron Kimball, become president.
