New California Republic Overview New California Republic or NCR is the capital of the nation of the same name, located in the former American Southwest. It can be found nineteen squares east and twenty-seven squares south of Arroyo.
Background[edit]
In 2186, the town of Shady Sands changed its name to "New California Republic" and formed a trial council government to draft a constitution.[Pub 1][4] Four more settlements joined before the NCR was voted into existence in 2189, establishing the town as its capitol.[Pub 1][5] The location grew to 3,000 citizens, finding prosperity under the rule of President Tandi.[5] Slavery, gambling, and drugs are illegal, and the law upheld by Sheriff Dumont.[5]
Publications[edit]
Layout[edit]
NCR is divided into four sections.

Bazaar[edit]
The Bazaar is the outside section of the city. It is there that the Chosen One can get used to the laws of the city (although they are not fully applied outside the city). The Bazaar is predominantly a merchant area: the Buster's Fine Emporium of Armament is a good place to buy heavy weaponry, as well as ammunition. In addition, the player can stop by the Rawhide Saloon for a drink, or Son of Bob's Iguana Bits for some snacks. Vortis, the slaver, also operates in this area.
NCR Downtown[edit]
Here the Chosen One can find a police station, a cantina, a merchant's union, a hospital, a Hubologists outpost, and the NCR power plant. In addition, NCR Downtown is where the player can buy the map with directions to Vault 13 from Doc Jubilee, who is located in the city hospital.
Westin Ranch[edit]
The Westin Ranch is Roger Westin's private property. Located west to NCR Downtown, it is a wealthy ranch heavily guarded by local policemen, with three small buildings and the ranch house where Westin lives. In order for the player character to enter the property, they must have business with Westin, which can be gotten after they talk to the NCR Sheriff and ask for "honest work." Another way of getting in is having a low intelligence level, which will make the guard at the entrance feel sorry for the player character. Also there one can find Saltbeef Bob, a delusional old man who says that Doc Jubilee has a map to Vault 13.
Council Hall[edit]
The Council Hall is where the power of the NCR is concentrated. Two buildings, the Hall of Congress and the Presidential Mansion, are located here. President Tandi and her aide Gunther are found in this section. The player character must talk to him in order to meet the president. In the middle of the area, the Vault Dweller statue is located.
