New California Republic
| « NCR has outlawed slavery in their territories, have one of the best and largest standing armies in the wastes, and have 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 also a large manpower, superior to Enclave's one or the Brotherhood of Steel's one, and even to Vault City or Raiders forces. Since the Republic includes a powerful town like the Hub, and as its capital is a trading town, NCR's army has no problems to find 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 safehouses throughout the worldmap, and they use these to strike at 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 travelling across the wastes.
