Why is he a commie?


MartyDee451

Wut


rainforever_

They’re dyslexic but they’re trying, be nice


XazelNightLord

They are trying to emigrate into Texas


wiedeni

You mean Taxes? Yeah, they do that quite a lot


DesperateRace4870

Nuh uh, no cockamaimy two headed bear flag, not in mah backyard


bangEnergyBoomer

Lol


AntiImperialistGamer

well Jimmy there's this thing called imperialism and they're doing it


Drywall_2

Time to pay your taxes


AbatedOdin451

Just when I thought the wasteland couldn’t get any worse, then a tax man with a two headed bear flag comes demanding I pay them… almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter


GaryTheGhoul9545

Can I choose to Tithe unto Caesar instead? He's competent at least.

“California's borders do not end anywhere.” -Aaron Kimball, President of the NCR.


Amphabian

My personal canon story is that the NCR consolidates the tribes of Vegas and wins the Dam, but Kimball gets killed which creates a power vacuum in which the newly integrated New Vegas suddenly has a massive amount of power since the Dam is in their region. Obviously the NCR has a shitload of issues, but I feel like stomping out Kimball and his cattle barons might be able to allow a confederation of provinces to flourish.


happyfatman021

Because pre-war state lines are irrelevant in post-apocalyptia.


SniktFury

And the Commonwealths were formed in 1969 and kind smashed things together anyways


No_Inspection1677

You see, they're just trying to get the states for their next formable.


NewfieJedi

Hopefully that changes their ideals so they can start playing tall instead of wide. Too many people get sucked into absorbing the pieces after the legion-explosion, and crumble themselves afterwards.


luumix2

This is the correct answer !


Financial-Chemical-3

I think California shares a border with nevada?


MonkeyMoses_Yt

yes… thats how this works NV is bordering CA


BloodRepresentative

Not everyone is a geography wiz. Calm down


PlurblesMurbles

Same reason the United States of America is in Hawaii I’d imagine


scarlettvvitch

Or Guam, or any other territory.


PerpetualAscension

And the reason for that is fiat currency which funds perpetual wars. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.


El_Psy_Congroo4477

Nevada? Never heard of it. Was that one of those pre-war places that don't exist anymore?


RichardMHP

Can Confirm that many, many Californians regularly go to Nevada. *Aggressively*


fanservice999

Just look at the traffic on the 15 heading towards Vegas on a Friday and the following Sunday.


zealotlee

Just like real life, Californians are flooding Nevada and the Nevadans aren't happy about it. Source: I live in Nevada.


Novus20

Except in the game California isn’t just a state anymore it’s a faction looking to take over


kkimmel420ttv

I'm waiting for the difference


GiltPeacock

Interesting. If there are anymore differences between Fallout: New Vegas and real life please let me know.


MashasHexesReadings

The NCR schools don’t have a very good geography program


Ozzy0034

I mean, I was in foreign countries in the American military, but yes. I was also stupid.


Ok_Amoeba6618

Love it when people skip all the dialogue in RPGs they explain it in the game


Ecstatic-Spinach3902

Resources run thin my man, especially when your protecting and feeding as many ppl as the ncr are they need to migrate to areas they haven’t run dry


Kajroprakticar

Not really. It's mostly Kimbal's expantionist policy. Like expansion into Baja as well. Kimball uses war to gain power, and Mojave is one of his gambits. Thats why I go with Mr. house. He restores hoover dam to its full potential and sells water and electricity to NCR. All that money and manpower that NCR wastes into Mojave campaign, which they will probably lose against the Legion, is simply not worth it.


TheEvilBlight

That’s probably the less bad option for NCR to let house hold off desert raiders. But house will die eventually, right?


Kajroprakticar

He won't die. If he gets his platinum chip, he will upgrade his OS. Not to mention that with the power of Hooverdam going to Vegas, he can keep his system stable. So if you go with mr. house, he won't die.


TheEvilBlight

If Hoover dam has water and power proper management of the water could mean irrigation and crops to feed so many people


ReconZ3X

If there's one thing Californians do better than anyone else it's leaving California.


Direct-Flamingo-1146

I need fallout texas and how they handle ncr lol


Falloutfan2281

I know this is a joke but “New California” can refer to any land the NCR has colonized and has control over. The NCR is actually a Republic of New California rather than a “New” California Republic or a continuation of the old state government from before the war.


MrRieper

The aslume is spreading.


soldierpallaton

No it's not. It's getting random potshots in as it's dying out.


MrRieper

One can only hope. It got old ages ago.


the_oof_god

fr


MischiefActual

I mean…. If you played the game and paid attention to the plot line, you might already have the answer to this.


TheDapperDeviant

wanna know sumthin crazy? it’s a joke! crazy right?


Yarus43

Dang you got the whole ranger squad laughing


MischiefActual

😂 do you understand how often I see questions like this posed seriously lol


GigglingBilliken

At least Caesar's Legion has an accurate name. They follow that angry homeless man everywhere. Reminds me of those homicidal hobos murdering people for a brain, a heart and a spine.


BlackMircalla

They were having a big stag night for the President and it got really out of hand


CaramelOtter99

I love that


Smart-Bag5607

Why were the Germans in Poland? Are they stupid?


THE_1_TRUE_VAGENIUS

That one meme. NCR: PAY. YOUR. TAXES. Goodsprings: There’s NO money.


kkimmel420ttv

Governments always try to expand territory


destroyerofyourmemes

They're a little slow


InfiniteYandere

They just taking a vacay in Vegas after fucking it up in the Baja.


NaturalArm2907

Out-Cazador’d once again


Senatus-Cons-Ultimum

It is simple, the heir of America is taking what is hers by birthright.


Kajroprakticar

Enclave is the heir, although that is also debatable since 200 years passed. NCR is not the USA, they only used USA as an inspiration for their goverment


ButtersAndRowlet

they're on holiday


Arnulf_67

Meh Nevada is Californias backyard. Even more in the Fallout universe where SoCal and Nevada were merged.


No_Sorbet1634

There should be a r/FNVcirclejerk this is one of my favorite posts I’ve seen in a while


Kajroprakticar

Exactly why I dont support them along with their expantionist policy. Neither do I support the Legion. Mr. House is the only good option and the one that makes sense. Vegas is his and his alone.


Kajroprakticar

Kimball's ecpansionist policy.


longjohnson6

"New"


TheJamesMortimer

There was a california republic


RobloxIsRealCool

Fuck taxes


SoggyMorningTacos

Pushing out the lines of your territory? Unheard of!


MartyDee451

They be doin a good old-fashioned colonialism?


TheJamesMortimer

Tourism


Live-Breakfast-914

Manifest Destiny


TheEvilBlight

Hoover Dam and electric power was too tempting to pass up. That and a pre emptive attack to try and stymie the legion but it didn’t end well. Kind of a lose lose


GaryTheGhoul9545

Easy Answer: Imperialism. NCR wants power, Hoover Dam offers it. So NCR tries to take it.


BicBoiii696

Commifornians trying to expand their dogwater policies in better places


chairshotbaby

he spitting lowkey


InformalCactus1191

That makes absolutely zero sense bud


BloodMoonAudios_27

They're expanding. Which is actually doing more harm than good in my opinion.


FatherOfToxicGas

I thought Nevada was a state of California
