New California Republic
| « NCR has outlawed slavery in their territories, has one of the best and largest standing armies in the wastes, and has benefited under their current President, Tandi, who has been with the Republic since she was a young girl in Shady Sands. On the plus side, the NCR has attempted to bring civilization and law back to the wasteland, and they don't (openly) discriminate against ghouls and mutants. »

Power
The strength of the New California Republic is mainly its manpower. With 700,000 citizens, the state has a large manpower, superior to that of the Enclave or the Brotherhood of Steel, and even to Vault City or Raider forces. Since the Republic includes a powerful town like the Hub, and since its capital is a trading town, NCR's army has no problems finding weapons or armors for its soldiers.
Police forces
NCR's army is not supposed to keep peace inside the federation's towns, so each town have to make its own police force. However, the Rangers can make a good intervention force, if a serious battle happens somewhere. They are quick and well-trained, as they are the elite force of the state. They are said to have numerous bases throughout California, and they use these to strike slavers or outlaws anywhere.
Economy
The New California Republic is mainly growing thanks to the commitments of its citizens, but as it is covering a large part of the southern California, a lot of merchants and caravans have to trade in this area. NCR is receiving a part of this wealth that is traveling across the wastes.
