People's Republic of America Radio is a radio station in Fallout 3.

Background[]

This radio station broadcasts Chinese propaganda in English, run by a Chinese infiltration operation codenamed "People's Republic of America"[verification needed] operating out of the Mama Dolce's food processing plant in Arlington. The signal is still active in 2277, 200 years after the Great War has ended, and the site is still occupied by ghoulified Chinese remnants. However, the station's messages are severely outdated, still referring to pre-War events such as the Anchorage Reclamation and the "Wall Street gang."

Locations[]

The signal can be heard in a radius of 8000 units around Mama Dolce's in southeast Arlington. This means it can only be heard in the area of south Arlington, including the parts of Arlington Cemetery south of its central monument, and the Arlington Cemetery South metro entrance. Separately the signal can be heard in a much smaller radius along the road between the Citadel and Arlington Library, outside of the Arlington cemetery area.

Transcript[]

This station's lines are randomized in the following structure:

Introductions[]

  • "Greetings to the oppressed masses from the peace-loving peoples of China!"
  • "All peace-loving peoples must join together to stop the war of aggression being waged by the Wall Street gang!"

First lines[]

  • "Why do you continue to send your boys to die for your capitalist masters?"
  • "Your boys are dying on the Alaska front, and all for nothing. Bring them home, before it is too late."

Second lines[]

  • "The gang of Wall Street fat cats, and their Washington war-monger puppets, have plunged the world into war to line their own..."
  • "Do you think your leaders will keep you safe if the bombs fall? You will die while the Wall Street gang and their hangers-on live like kings in..."

Outro[]

The radio conversation ends with a burst of static before repeating with the above randomization. This line has an associated script note which simply says "burst of static."

Behind the scenes[]

  • There is a filler voice file associated with the radio outro. In it, instead of playing an actual static sound effect, the voice actor simply says the words "static filler."
  • The announcer heard on the radio is voiced by Jan Johns.
  • The station is a reference to numerous radio propaganda programs, including: Axis Sally, Seoul City Sue, Hanoi Hannah, Pyongyang Sally and Tokyo Rose, who gave broadcasts intended to break American troop morale during World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. The deployment of the station in America rather than on the front lines is similar to the efforts by Lord Haw-Haw and Sefton Delmer, propagandists during World War II whose broadcasts were intended to undermine confidence in victory on the home front.
    • The text of the broadcasts resembles the communist propaganda distributed during the Korean War, stating the futility of war and how war is waged for the benefit of the "Wall Street Gang."[clarification needed]
