New California is one of the largest and most well-developed regions of the post-nuclear United States. This page aims to provide a coherent overview of their position in the wasteland and roles they play.
An anarchic frontier community. Economy once based on slave trading and acting as a gateway to trade in the Pacific Northwest. Current status not known, but slavery unlikely to be tenable.[1]
Industrial and economic center of the New California Republic, home to several of the largest caravan companies operating in the wasteland. Major exporter of water, scavenged goods, agricultural produce (both plant and animal), and a crucial hub of commerce for the region.[1]
A curious town that remains a major stop on the way north, towards the frontiers of the Republic. The first provisional member of the fledgling Republic.[1]
A small frontier town on the California-Oregon border, known for its talented trappers. Apart from exporting gecko skins, it doubles as a stop-over point for merchants trading with tribes inhabiting the wilderness of the Pacific Northwest.[1]
The heart of the Brotherhood of Steel and its primary fortress. Despite the Brotherhood War and the general retreat of Brotherhood forces, it remains unclaimed.[1]
A tourist town and semi-autonomous member of the New California Republic. Despite its membership, the town is still governed by influential families vying for control of its streets.[1]
A large mining town on the edges of the Central Valley, responsible for supplying gold to the Republic. Following the destruction of gold reserves by the Brotherhood, Redding diversified its economy, becoming a major agricultural town focused on brahmin husbandry.[1]
The capital of the New California Republic and the largest city built up from scratch in post-War America. Citizens enjoy a high level of life thanks to a well-equipped police force and excellent infrastructure, including electricity.[1]
Town, population 103 citizens with an unknown number of transients and non-citizens.
Former independent state on the Northern Californian frontier, now a member of the New California Republic. Major exporter of pre-War grade medical supplies.[1]
A mining community centered around an old uranium mine uncovered by Marcus, attempting to build a new society based on tolerance, cooperation, and collaboration between humans and humanoid mutants like ghouls and Mariposa super mutants.[1]
Collapse following exhaustion of uranium circa 2240s.[2]
Ruins of Bakersfield, formerly inhabited by ghouls who have formed a makeshift community living off the remnants of the Old World. Their community was isolationist, except for imports of water from the Hub.[1]
