The New California Republic is a Core Faction that was made in 2186 by Inaugural President Aradesh. They uphold old-world values, such as taxes, democracy, and the rule of law. In the world of Divide, they are usually given a special company name, such as 3rd Company, to go with the military aesthetic. Although they claim to be a good-guy faction, they are highly recognized as an evil force trying to persecute chem users and cannibals.

## Military Force

### Infantry

The NCR's military consists of soldiers dressed in WW1-Inspired armor and helmets. Although the armor provides a well-off 63% DR (Standard Soldier Armor), they are used as fodder for the 1st Recon and Ranger battalions, and are incredibly weak when it comes to melee combat. This is because the Infantry is more focused on using firearms rather than melee weapons. However, there are a lot of Infantrymen, meaning that they are usually equally matched.

### Infantry Sub-Divisions

The NCR Infantry has several sub-divisions, all of which have their own goals and purposes in the scope of the Infantry.

##### Military Police

Used for keeping the peace in NCR Territories, the Military Police are technically a joint sub-division of both Infantry and Shock. They are characterized by their darkened helmets with MP painted on them in white.

##### Bearforce/Company Mechanical Unit

The Bearforce Mechanical Unit are the mechanized infantry group of the NCR. They have access to vehicles such as the MBT, the Humvee, the VB-02 Gunship, and the VB-02C Carrier.

##### Bearforce/Field Engineers Unit

The Bearforce also has a Field Engineers Unit, equipped with a wrench to build supports and artillery cannons. However, this sees little usage in combat.

##### Infantry Medical Branch

The Infantry Medical Branch is comprised of medics and support soldiers. These troopers are characterized by their white-and-red helmets, red cross armbands, and healing items.

### 1st Reconnaissance Battalion

They are noted as the hardest division to get into, their trials ranging from intelligence gathering, interrogation, internal affairs, and executing criminals of the republic. Their motto is "The last thing you never see".

The Rangers Battalion is a division of the NCR military. They are the elite snipers of the NCR, being deployed in areas where long-range and stealth tactics are extremely necessary. Their armor is incredibly strong, and is made to last. They are the powerhouse of the NCR long-range. They are usually found wearing either Riot Helmets, Ranger Hats, Dusters, Ranger Leather Armor, and other Ranger gear. Although the NCR has their own Rangers, the Desert Rangers utilize equipment from the NCR Ranger Corps while still being their own entity.

The Shock Corps are the main heavy division of the NCR military, being used as both heavy infantry and riot control for Military Police. They are made for the sake of keeping the peace in NCR territories while captured. They are also used for interrogating prisoners of war and quick deployment actions.

There are a plethora of public laws in the NCR, public laws meaning laws that have to be followed in places where the NCR is prominent. These laws are as follows.

* No cannibalism or tribalism (Don't take people's heads)
* No drug usage or public alcoholism (Self explanatory)
* Don't steal from people (Also self explanatory)
* Don't kill people (Especially not NCR or NCR-adjacent people)
* Other laws that people don't enforce (I hate it here)

## Sharecropping

The NCR has a special way of getting money and caps. A member of the NCR can pay a member of an allied faction, or a waster, to farm carrots for an amount of time. This exchange is called Sharecropping, and mutually benefits both the employer and employee.
