### Vault 13's Hero

*When Shady Sands was but a budding settlement, plagued by raiders and locked in a bitter struggle for survival, it was visited by a denizen of Vault 13. Known only as the "Vault Dweller", he met with Aradesh, who shared their knowledge with him on his quest to replace Vault 13's faulty water chip. While the water chip from Vault 15 (Shady Sands' home vault) was piled too far under rock for the Vault Dweller to recover, Aradesh's kindness made the Vault Dweller feel indebted to the struggling community.
When disaster struck Shady Sands and Khan raiders captured Aradesh's daughter Tandi, the Vault Dweller repaid his debt ten times over, freeing Tandi and driving the Khans from the California for decades.

Our run-in with the Vault Dweller's kindness and honour was a founding moment for the Republic, as without his bold assault on the Khans and freeing of Tandi our fledgling nation would never have taken off from the ground. Over the centuries after his visit, the Vault Dweller's impact on Shady Sands would morph into the settlement's founding myth. Society would be forever morphed, but by what fundamental ideal?*

 id### The Republic's Golden Years

*Over the 52 years President Tandi led the Republic, the union of five states went from strength to strength. By focusing the Republic's economy and workforce on infrastructure and agriculture, California enjoyed a thriving network of trade routes and Brahmin farms. The clearing of roads, rivers and railways paved the way for the rapid redeployment of the NCR's growing military, allowing the prompt response to threats across southern California and reaching north towards Redding. Backed by an abundance of renewable food thanks to GECK-created farmland and Brahmin herds, the population of settlements major and minor alike exploded, further ballooned by an influx of new settlers from across Northern California and beyond. Never afraid of using underhand tactics to achieve her goals, she bullied New Reno and Vault City into joining the Republic as autonomous territories, and ordered the assault on Navarro that would shatter the Enclave on the West Coast.

In premiership so abundant with successes and victories, Tandi's legacy has shaped every aspect of the NCR and the wider wasteland. One set of her policies saw success beyond comparison, and helped the founding Shady Sands State grow beyond comparison.*

 id### Stagnation at the Zenith

*Soon after President Tandi's passing in 2248, the New California Republic reached its zenith. Under Tandi, Shady Sands spread from the Pacific to Redding, from the Boneyard to the gates of the Mojave. Even the Golden Circle's towns fell beneath the Bear, as Vault City 'welcomed' a NCR Garrison and Reno became an 'associated state'. At home, Tandi's fierce regulation against brahmin barons and rich trading monopolies ensured prosperity and support for the Republic, and revived dreams of a better world. Tandi's successor Tibbett continued the good times, and all thought the Republic's good times would last forever.

But The fate of the Republic changed forever in 2253, when a caravan of 38 NCR citizens journeying from Arizona to Baker was attacked by raiders in the Northern Mojave: at the time a desolate no-mans land. President Tibbett, 'Following' Tandi's mould of preferring diplomacy to brute force, was slow to react to the crisis. While Tibbett dithered opportunistic Senators smelled blood: chief amongst them was Wendell Peterson, demanded a military support for the crisis. Peterson garnered Tibbett with the promise that the bear had claws. Peterson's inauguration, showed the limits of the NCR's progress. Peterson allied himself with wealthy ranchers, the so-called Brahmin Barons, and relied on increasingly militaristic, expansionist policies to win the support of the population. With the Brahmin Barons' rise, and the vast expansion of the military continued, the NCR started a haphazard period of stagnation. Fueled by Baron and Caravansary money, the Republic began a harsh cycle of consumerism and corruption across the nation. Sure, the Republic thrived: but it was no longer ordinary people gaining most from the growth.

By 2275, much of Northern California is run from Redding by the Barons themselves, benefitting from NCR protection while contributing little of their own. The Navarro territories, liberated with Brotherhood assistance, are a seething frontier. And the Mojave, well... as they say, the House Always wins.*

 id### Crises in California

*Life in the Wasteland isn't simple: especially not for a democracy as cumbersome and problem-riddled as the NCR. After decades of decadent decline under the premiership of Peterson and Kimball, the Republic is facing a number of crises on many fronts. In the south, Dayglow faces off with raider groups along the Colorado and in Baja who threaten the blooming city's security and prosper. The Brotherhood lurks in its bunkers, and whether they will be friend or foe is too soon to tell. San Francisco, nominally a friend of the Republic, pursues its own designs under the Shi. The Barons continue to run roughshod over the people of Northern California. With the NCR distracted, Vault City and Navarro debate their own course.

Between now and the 2278 election, the NCR will face a number of **crises** that it must react to. When these arise, they will be put to the Senate. Who prevails will decide the fate of the election of 2278.*

**Democracy must prevail!*** Political Power: **+10**

 id### The 2278 Senate Election

The NCR may be a bit different from what you're used to. There are no chieftains, town bosses, kings, or dictators here. Our leaders are elected by the people! That's right -- every state has the right to send representatives to the Hall of Congress. These representatives select the President and Vice-President to head the council and it is their advice which guides the President's decisions. The Senate election of 2278 will decide, ultimately, who becomes the next president. President Kimball is likely to remain in office, but he faces opposition at home.

**My allegiance is to the Republic, to Democracy!*** Political Power: **+10**.
* Gets event: '**By the People, For the People, Of the People**'.

 id### By the People, For the People, Of the People

The Followers are fierce opponents of Kimball, and are backed by Governor Allgood Murphy. As he once put it in the speech earning his name, "We must be thankful, that we have no ills at home, and can afford another war. There is no crime in the Republic. There is no want in the Republic. There are no children in need of schools; no sick in need of care. There are no farmers who need assistance, no neighbors who need a hand. To spend as much blood and treasure as we have, all must be good."

One of Kimball's other critics is Mayor Hayes of Dayglow. Mocked for his Old World Blues, Hayes studied America's past, the days when a nation stretched from sea to shining sea, with influence extending from pole to frozen pole. Hayes opposes the war in the Mojave because the resources spent there should be spent to uplift the Republic. Indeed, Hayes is perhaps the only NCR politician who does not just respect House, but admires him.

**Still better than worshipping the Maxson Dynasty*** Political Power: **+10**.
