Information about orders.

Send them to me privately however not everyone should be sending me orders every turn, only the president and his cabinet should be doing it and people who are plotting secret terrible things like coups.

Information about turns.

1 turns is 4 years, unless we're at war in which case there'll be war minis. Elections also get their own minis and they happen every 4 years for congress. For the President they happen only once and then that person is in for life unless you guys want to change that.

Lore: Securing the South
Following the rescuing of Tandi by the Vault Dweller, the village of Shady Sands began to grow and became an economic power within New California. They would soon replace the Hub as the most influential area and in 2186 the New California Republic was formed and Shady Sands was renamed NCR. The ideals of the NCR would spread over New California very quickly, with their morals representing that of the old world. By 2189 they would already consist of their first five states and would become aware of the Brotherhood of Steel. These states were Shady Sands, Maxson, Hub, Los Angeles and Dayglow.

In 2196, the first president of the NCR, Aradesh, would die. In response, the council of the NCR would unanimously elect his daughter, Tandi, as the nation's second president. By 2241, the city of Junktown would join the NCR state of Shady Sands. Also around this time, the NCR's vast supply of brahmin would be key in the growing world of economics. This would give them meat for food, leather for clothing and force competition with other growing states such as San Francisco and Vault City.

In 2241, the NCR would face problems from the New Khans. run a propaganda campaign against Vault City and aim to annex the squatter town that had taken up residence out of the ruins of their old vault, Vault 15. Hired by Tandi, the Chosen One, would act as an agent of the NCR and wipe out the New Khans, allowing the NCR to annex Vault 15.

The Enclave
While the NCR's holdings in the north would make them aware of the Enclave, initially they would take no action against them. Their then-allies, the Brotherhood of Steel, were not friendly towards the Enclave, and thus the NCR would remain pacifistic towards them for several years. Eventually, in 2246, the NCR would attack with the Brotherhood and eradicate the presence of the Enclave in what became the NCR-Enclave War. The NCR would take little from Navarro other than technology they could not understand and leave the Oil Rig and the main base abandoned. The NCR would continue their war on raiders, nearly eradicating the presence of the Vipers, Jackals and whatever was left of the Khans. The three raiding groups would then flee to the Mojave Wasteland.

Following 2242 and during the NCR-Enclave War, the Brotherhood of Steel relations with the NCR would begin to sour. They would continue their xenophobic nature to the point that during the NCR's initial movements in their war on raiders, they would refuse to cooperate with the NCR and sometimes attack them outright.

In 2248, Tandi dies at the old age of one hundred and three, leaving the council to decide who the next leader of the Republic would be.

Colonel Jonathan Carver

Born: May 9th, 2210 (age 38) in Shady Sands, NCR
Position: Commander of First Battalion
​

Bio: Born on May 9th, 2210 in the New California Republic – specifically, in Shady Sands. The son of a decorated NCR soldier, Carver desired to both follow in his father’s footsteps and to earn himself glory by fighting for his nation. As a boy, he gorged himself on tales of martial prowess and heroism and viewed war as proud and honorable, and desired above all to gain a name for himself as a legendary warrior.

In 2228, at the age of eighteen, he volunteered for the army and began training in Los Angeles as a recruit. Showing an aptitude for leading other men and performing above average in all fields during his training, Carver was signalled out for a future as an officer by his superiors and groomed for a future command position. By the time he was twenty-five and had been in the army for seven years, he had risen to the rank Second Lieutenant in the New California Republic Armed Forces. In 2241 he was promoted to Captain after successfully fighting against the New Khans, earning a reputation as a capable commander who could keep his cool in the heat of battle – something which could not be said for all officers. Carver fought with distinction in the NCR-Enclave War as the commander of a company in the 1st Battalion, leading his men to victory in numerous engagements over the enemy.

Following the conclusion of the war in 2246, Carver was promoted to the rank of Major. He would spend the next two years fighting against raiders in the north of the country. His actions and involvement in these conflicts gave him the experience to match his rank, and hardened him from the idealistic, patriotic soldier of his youth into a cold, hard, and unflinching leader of men – and an old hand at dealing death. It was also during this time that Carver lost his right eye to a sharpshooter's bullet, causing him to wear an eyepatch ever since.

After the retirement of the Commander of First Battalion in 2248, Carver was made his replacement, becoming Colonel Jonathan Carver, Commander of First Battalion.

 

[LatinKaiser]

Name: Josh Lyman
Age: 34
Position: Governor of Dayglow
Bio: Josh Lyman was born to middle-class parents in 2214, growing up in the rising NCR. Always a keen administrator and respected straight-talker, Lyman took an interest in politics while in high school, and by the age of 26 he had become an active member in Californian politics. Having made important political connections and gathered valuable experience and knowledge, Lyman was recently elected Governor of Dayglow.

 

[Plutonium95]

Name: Chief Jesse Friedman
Age: 48
Position: NCR Rangers Chief​

Bio:
Jesse Friedman was born as a member of the New Khans, a tribe (or gang as most in the NCR’s government and military were wont to call them) that respects strength above all else. Much of his youth was spent learning the ways of battle, often dominating other children so handily in fights that his instructors would pit him against at least two opponents at once. His greatest talent though, was with firearms. By the time he was thirteen he could consistently hit moving targets at one hundred yards.

But his early years were filled with more than just brawls and weapons. Shortly before his seventh birthday, a former member of the Followers of the Apocalypse joined the New Khans. She served as Jesse’s tutor and ended up teaching him more than his other instructors ever could. From her he learned to read, write, do math, properly clean a gun, perform chemistry, and as he would say was most important, use logic and think things through clearly. Even her belief in nonaggression rubbed off on Jesse to some degree and he would rarely start fights with the other children, so long as they left him be.

By the time he was sixteen Jesse still had yet to take part in any raiding, unlike most of his friends and similarly aged cousins. Most of his time was spent crafting medicines for the tribes’ use and to sell. This came to an end when members of the Jackals attacked the New Khan’s camp. They slaughtered dozens of Khans that day, but they were ultimately able to escape and set up camp elsewhere. Jesse fought viciously during the attack, fatally shooting two Jackals and knocking a third unconscious before being knocked out himself. When he came to he was surrounded by a squad of NCR Rangers who had driven off the Jackals and brought him to a clinic in nearby Shady Sands.

Separated from his tribe and left with no way to contact them, Jesse wondered if it was fate that had brought him to the NCR and he settled down in Shady Sands for a time, making medicine for doctors and the followers of the apocalypse. This didn’t last long however as his upbringing with the Khans still had some hold on him, driving him to volunteer for military shortly before turning twenty.

He rose through the ranks quickly at first do to his great skill and intelligence, but his progress came to a sudden and abrupt halt at the rank of second lieutenant when he began speaking out against the corruption of NCR, and the undue control the ranchers had in government. Chaffing under the political pressure, Jesse requested a transfer to the rangers which were known to be much more independent and free from the influence of politics, allowing them to actually help people. He succeeding in completing his training and was officially named a ranger in 2224.

Over the next several decades Jesse took part in a number of high risk assignments, always putting what he felt was right and just ahead of the interests of the politicians or wealthy citizens of the republic. While this earned him few friends and a fair number of scars, he gained immense respect from the other rangers, especially the newest recruits. When Chief Elise died in the assault against the Enclave in 2246, Jesse had nearly unanimous support from the other rangers to become the next chief. While the politicians were wary of allowing a self-avowed ‘anarchist’, who had spoken out against them several times, fill such an important role, they recognized two things. First, that Jesse was extremely good at his job and would likely make an excellent chief, if a slightly uncontrollable one, and second, that if they refused to give him the position it was entirely possible that they would lose control over the rangers that supported him.

Jesse Friedman, former Khan, was named Chief of the NCR Rangers in 2247.

[Rovsea]

Name: James Bernhard.
Age: 34 Years Old.
Position: Senator from Klamath.
Bio: James has lived a fairly normal life, though he is of one of the more prosperous families in Klamath. He's been well liked for years, though he hasn't necessarily distinguished himself before. James sees his new opportunity as Congressman (which he attained through general popularity and family connections) as the chance to prove himself and make real change in his community. One of the most important issues for him is ensuring that everybody has a job, and that there is enough education to ensure a good supply of skilled technicians, engineers, and craftsmen, as that will allow California to grow in infrastructure and reclaim more and more land. He sees human progress as inevitable, but he also doesn't see how there can b people with no work or education in the new world (since the great war). He's a loose member of the California People's Party.

The Chinook Derch​

When the Bombs fell and the Old World was erased, new civilizations arose to fill the void. And such was the case of the Chinook Derch, hailing from the untamed lands of Oregon. Initially formed along The Island and along the Billy Chinook Lake by bands of local survivors, ranging from scared civilians to national guard and police elements, these people have survived any way they can, at first looting and trying to farm, and eventually turning to raids and slaving.

Over time, these survivors developed a new culture, one more savage and uncivilized, becoming akin to tribals. Their language was corrupted into what they now refer to as "High Derch", and is seen by these tribals as a superior form of communication. Similar and perhaps almost understandable to English-speakers, High Derch nevertheless would serve to isolate the Chinook Derch from opening themselves to major outside influence. Over time, the political structure of the Chinook Derch reverted to a theocratic state, with a single chief, the first being regarded as the finest warrior in the world, in actuality simply being a police captain quite skilled with a blade. Gradually the Chinook Derch developed a religion based on a mythical river known by their ancestors as the Wolger, whose rights of ownership belonged to the Chinook Derch. By his very nature, each chief was ordained to bring his people ever-closer to finding the Wolger, though in truth, most chiefs simply claimed dreams or invented stories that would allow them to benefit to claim their duty fulfilled.

However, after facing an unfortunate period of hardship, the Chinook Derch were driven from their lands by rival tribes, forcing the Derch to flee southward. Faced with enforcing stability, the 23rd chief of the Derch - one Chief Tear-Ants, named in honor of a distant ancestor - claimed that with their new-found freedom from land possessions, the path to Wolger was clear; the Derch must go south, said he. Imbued with religious vigor, the Chinook Derch have since then made their way out of Oregon and into the northern-most regions of the New Californian Republic, not truly aware of what exactly the NCR, or "Eenseear" as the Derch call it. was or why it mattered. Still, under their newest chief, the Derch have begun to grow tired from travelling, and have taken interest in the foreign people they are now encountering.

Chief Kert​

Age: 33
Position: Chief of the Chinook Derch
Biography:

Son of Kerl, son's son of Kerk, Chief Kert has strong blood which has produced a number of great warriors and leaders. Having ascended to power after the sorrowful death of Chief Babi, him having fought bravely against a pack of strange, rabid, mole beasts, Kert has done well to build on his predecessors legacy, while pushing southward in pursuit of the Wolger. However, Kert knows that his people tire of nomadic travel, and that eventually they must settle to repopulate and regain honor as a culture.

Still, Kert is extremely wary of any foreign influence, and has kept his people far from the hands of the Eenseear strangers and their peculiar outfits, flags, and weaponry, outclassing the Derch's primary weapons of blades and the occasionally scavenged firearm, wielded firstly by the tribal elite.

 

[Dr.Livingstone]

Name: Josef Ramírez
Age: 27
Position: Admiral of the NCR navy
Bio: The small village of Deià was a rather poor and neglected outpost in the southernmost territories of the NCR. Set up in 2130 as a small rest stop for those wishing to travel further south, Deià rapidly became an important fishing village. In 2221, Josef Ramírez, son of Mary and Ted Ramírez, was born. It was in Deià that he learned his first trade, becoming an adapt fisherman. Unsatisfied with his life, Ramírez joined the local militia at age 16, staying in the corps for five years. It was during his tenure in the militia that he first traveled to the capital. Awestruck by the sheer size of the capital, Ramírez nonetheless used his charm to become somewhat well known in military circles, eventually earning the title of Captain. It was within these circles that Ramírez first learned his calling. Hearing reports of piracy, raids, and logistical failures along the coast, the strategists often bemoaned the lack of a navy. To Ramírez, this was an obvious problem that required immediate attention. Thus, it was that he obtained a commission from the Council of the NCR to lead a competent navy.

In a more informal appearance

Name: William Vanderbilt Junior
Date of Birth : 22nd of June 2218
Position : Governor of Vault City
Faction: Super Duper Mart Corporation (A company under the NCR)

Background: Born into a long line of railroaders, predating even the Great war several hundreds of years, William Vanderbilt Junior was quite the abnormality when he grew up. Unlike his brothers and sisters, who all followed in the footsteps of their father William Vanderbilt Senior, he invested in an old abandoned building once called the Super Duper Mart. When he did finally fully restore it and regulate the supply lines for it, he saw a massive boom of his funds, becoming a wealthy man. He now owns several Super Duper Marts, well supplied, and a small restored office building.


He recently got elected Governor of Vault City, as his family originated from Vault 8.He is the youngest one to have ever been elected to this position. One of the most convincing factors was that he uses a big part of the money he earns with the Super Duper Marts to help rebuild the vault and surrounding areas, and feed,hydrate and house the poor, including the rest of the State.​

 

[Bongomarauder]

Name: Colonel Bill Kilgore
Age: 36
Position: NCR Air Force​

Bio: Kilgore has been a bush pilot since about the time he could see over the dashboard, and a sure shot with a rifle since he could hold one up. As a shady sands native, Kilgore believes unabashedly in the superiority of the NCR and its people and has never cared to stop and think much of the enemies he routinely bombs, rockets, and shreds with cannon and machine gun fire. It was precisely his aptitude for death dealing and enthusiasm for the destruction of the NCR's enemies that landed him a command of the NCR's small airforce.

 

[2kNikk]

Name: Wayne Langston
Age: 36
Position: Congressman of the Hub
Bio: A no nonsense cowboy who would seem more at home in the Mojave wastes than the NCR, Langston was just the man needed to control the wild hub. With his gruff exterior and lack of political wit he is viewed as somewhat of an outsider. Still he has led the Hub and has yet to be killed, so that must say something about his leadership.

 

[Korona]

Hank J. McCourt
​

Age: 46
Position: Governor of Maxson

Bio: Henry 'Hank' James McCourt was born to a prominent mining family near Maxson City, Maxson. His father owned three mines near Maxson City, giving the McCourt family power and wealth. Anyone who wanted to be someone went to the frequent balls and parties held at the McCourt mansion, which was really just a ranch with a large bunker. At the age of 20, Hank enlisted in the NCR Air Force, where he served as a pilot for seven years, before he was honorably discharged, after being caught in a Vertibird explosion.

A World without Tandi

It is January 5th 2248, Tandi the mother of the NCR has died and for the first time sense the Republic was founded there is no President to guide the Republic. Today the nation is more threatened then ever before, as the Brotherhood of Steel once the Republic's greatest ally has recently been attacking Californian patrols on an ever more regular basis. Across the wasteland more and more Californian settlers have been spreading out in all directions many of them heading south into Baja and east into the uncharted Mojave. These settlers have the rangers stretched to maximum capacity as they struggle to keep them safe from roaming raider tribes while at the same time attempting to secure important infrastructure in California itself from the threat posed by gangs there. The pioneers themselves are driven by a lack of farm land back home in California as the Brahmin Barons there buy up ever more farmland to feed their growing herds. In many of the nation's urban centers poverty is the norm and young men with little opportunity often are found turning to a life of crime in order to sustain themselves. Finally public services are strained to the limit as they are forced to accommodate thousands of new Californian citizens that they were never originally intended to serve. As a result very few children attend school and many disputes end violently instead of in a court room.

However not all is bad for the Republic. Coming off of Tandi's 53 year tenure as President of the NCR, the New California Republic stands as the most prestigious and well respected nation in the wastes. Many northern tribes ranging from Oregon to Nevada harbor a deep respect for the nation after years of peaceful trade and cooperation between the groups. Furthermore the Republic's economy has never been stronger as new industrial centers pump out weapons, clothing, ammunition, steel, cement, rubber and many other products. The NCR is also home to hundreds of thousands of new citizens as under Tandi's presidency four new states joined the union bringing with them new commercial opportunities and a new tax base. Never before has the Republic's military been stronger then it is today as the NCR finds itself in possession of the most professional and well trained force in all the west (with the exception of the BoS).

With Tandi now gone it is up to congress to elect a new President to lead this nation into the trying times ahead. ​

The Election:

If you are interested in running for President please give me your name and platform. People are also now allowed begin creating political parties can't wait to see what you guys think up.
Finally this election will work simply a strawpoll will be made and you will all have 24 hours to vote in it. Thanks!

Californian People's Party

The CPP has three goals:

1. Bring economic and social equality for all citizens (Ghouls can be citizens, supermutants can not)
2. Fight against corruption and end inhumane working conditions
3. Reduce organized crime by attacking the root of the problem- poverty​

The CPP recognizes the failure of the NCR to properly care for its citizens, which has led to widespread crime and poverty. The expansionist policies strived for under President Tandi were achieved on the backs of oppressed and underpaid workers, as was the industrial growth of the nation. A new and more stable path must be sought, where progress is not achieved through the suffering and enslavement of our own citizens, necessitating greater government oversight of industry and redirection of funds to support our citizens rather than wasting our economy annexing deserts. President Tandi may be well respected, but she was not infallible, and many of her policies have weakened our nation and contributed to the large amounts of urban crime our nation sees. We must not ignore the plight of our people, poverty, and we must chart a new course for the NCR. Such is the position of the Californian People's Party.

-Matthew Bryons, Congressman from Redding, Chairman of the CPP
