Forum:The Enclave is what?

I was just reading through one of my textbooks for school... A came across a definition. The definition for the word "enclave". It interested me because I assumed that they were just given a name. "Enclave" means "A small territory surrounded by foreign territory". I realize there are probably multiple definitions for the word but anyone have any idea why they are called the "enclave"?

Possibly because they considered them selves a little part of a big organization (The United States Government). The Enclave was just a little part of the government, but they had their own ideas, thus they survived the war and became the power armored douchebags we know and love. 80.232.90.20 06:53, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Actually, I'm pretty sure the Enclave was organized after the war from the remainder of the government hiding in their private vaults. Speaking of that, I have a question. Does anybody know who the president was during the war? Broeman 11:47, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
