[Fallout] NCR questions.


My name is Sylvester Platt, I work for a small newspaper in Boston. My interest in the other side of the country has been eating away at me for a few weeks, ever since I bought a two-headed bear flag from a courier passing through with the words "New California Republic" on it.

I'm curious- How much of the New California Republic is honest-to-goodness land with laws? What is the government system like? How much more livable is it there than it is in Boston? How dangerous would it be to travel across the nation to live there?

I'm asking for a friend who may or may not have worn out his welcome after printing a few less-than-kind things about the Institute here in Boston in the newspaper he works for.

A side note, time *may* be a factor.

NCR citizen here!

Depends on where you are. In California the NCR has effectively wiped out raiders, hostile mutants, and rougue settlements and is a solid democracy, if a little oligarchic. The economy could also use improvement, as the NCR dollar is still fairly worthless compared to caps.

If you lived in Nevada you would see them as busy body soldiers trying to reduce your independence and maybe even drive you off the land, especially if your a tribal. Still, better than the guys across the canyon...
