随着南加州局势的稳定,坦蒂总统打算向北扩张。然而,北加州成为了一个竞技场,NCR努力控制它的两个竞争对手:地下掩體都市和新里诺。坦蒂她的和平扩张政策也遭到了反对,15号避难所就是她的试验场。这场地缘政治斗争集中在该地区主要的金矿供应商瑞丁镇。当共和国改用美元作为货币,并以黄金作为货币后盾时,这座矿业城市就成了整个新加州贸易的关键。谁控制了黄金供应,谁就控制了货币。瑞丁镇很幸运,它离得足够远,以至于军事接管并不经济。The three powers instead decided to make the city align with one of them through agents operating in the city, either planted ones ("Painless" Doc Johnson) or voluntary supporters (Marge LeBarge and Dan McGrew).[14] 到2241年,局势逐渐接近关键阶段。 1月,作为莫丁诺家族计划通过毒品控制这座采矿城市的计划的一部分,第一批杰特开始抵达瑞丁。[15] 今年2月,地下掩體都市拒绝了与毕索普家族和NCR结盟的提议,[16]一个月后,雇佣兵开始发动攻击,迫使该市加入联盟。[17] 这一切都是在多年来最严重的旱季的背景下发生的。旱季导致了北加州的干旱,在阿罗由和摩多克等欠发达地区造成了普遍的粮食短缺。[18]

↑Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide Collector's Edition p.41: "New California Republic" "The New California Republic was born from the remnants of the survivors of Vault 15 and the small walled community they founded, Shady Sands. Under the leadership of Aradesh, and with the assistance of the Vault Dweller (who saved Tandi, Aradesh's daughter and a future president of the NCR), the community prospered. Trade routes with other settlements allowed cultural exchange, and a movement to form a national entity gradually took root and won popular acceptance. In 2186, the town of Shady Sands changed its name to "New California Republic" and formed a trial council government to draft a constitution. Four more settlements joined the council, and in 2189 the NCR was voted into existence as a sprawling federation of five states: Shady Sands, Los Angeles, Maxson, Hub, and Dayglow. By post-apocalyptic standards, the NCR is a paragon of economic success and good ethical character: political enfranchisement, rule of law, a reasonable degree of physical security, and a standard of living better than mere subsistence are daily realities for it's 700,000+ citizens. Currently, the NCR in a state of transition, with rapid economic growth and a sea change in political leadership endangering its grand humanitarian ideals. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Mojave, where the occupation of Hoover Dam has improved access to electricity and water, but at the cost of straining its budget and embroiling its armed forces in a morally corrosive imperialist project. The NCR government's aim is to annex New Vegas as the republic's sixth state. While it already controls Hoover Dam, its treaty with Mr. House and the three families compels it to allot one-fifth of the dam's electrical and water production to local use free of charge. Adding injury to insult, the NCR is locked into protecting New Vegas from invasion by Caesar's legion even as it receives not one cap in tax revenue from the Strip's highly lucrative resort operations. NCR citizens in the Mojave have largely come here for economic reasons, whether as paid citizen soldiers or as prospectors and fortune-seekers."

↑Fallout Bible 5: "Questions" "14. One thing - what's happened to Junktown? Was it just too little to be it's own state? Or maybe it has managed to survive as an independent enclave inside NCR, a hive of scum and villainy, so to speak. And what kind of folks would live in Glow? After all, that place must still, well, glow, at least somewhat. Ghouls?" "Junktown became part of NCR as part of the state of Shady, and it was one of the first provisional states, considering it was one of the first (and most trustworthy) of the Shady Sands trading partners during its early formation. Its alliance with Shady Sands did cause some alarm from the caravans in the Hub, but it didn't hurt the Hub communities any... and the Hub eventually became part of NCR as well. As for the Glow (or the state of Dayglow), most of the state is actually north and west of the glow, but they are still able to see the Glow from their borders. A number of ghouls are rumored to live there now, as part of the Great Migration from Necropolis - once the ghouls learned of West Tek, they were eager to see if they could scavenge technology from the abandoned center. Some ghouls formed partnerships with scavenging companies from New Adytum and the Hub and have built quite a profitable corporation from their salvage efforts. At least one super mutant, a refugee from the Cathedral, was also rumored to be working with the ghouls and humans in Dayglow."

↑Fallout Bible 6"New California Republic" "[...] Although nearly hitting a hundred years of age, Tandi has done more to unite the people of the wastes than any other leader born from the ashes of the Great War, and she is revered as a saint and even a "Great Mother" by some of the tribals outside of the Republic territories. Tandi's State of the Republic messages were famous for inspiring countless people to join the "service" and rebuild civilization.[2] Under her rule, the republic has grown, and she has focused efforts on rebuilding the pre-war infrastructure to support the growing population, finding new forms of transportation and manufacturing, clearing roadways and rail lines, building forts, fostering caravans and trade in the republic (and with other territories), and dealing with threats swiftly and efficiently. In all her years, she has never forgotten her roots in the small village of Fallout 1, and she has always strived to put the welfare of the common man above the wheels of progress. When people talk about "good people," Tandi's good people."

Framed me over some caps, and I ended up in here." (Carter's dialogue) Note: The only way for a New Reno man to end up in an NCR penal colony is for New Reno to be an NCR territory.
↑The Courier: "How long have you been with the Followers?" Emily Ortal: "About five years now. I have family back in Arroyo, but this is where all of the good work is being done, so to speak.

There's not much funding for medical research with OSI or any other group - not unless it has a military application, anyway." (Emily Ortal's dialogue) Emily Ortal is referring to NCR taxation and inflation in Arroyo, which is only possible if Arroyo is a part of the NCR.
↑The NCR's expansion northwards explicitly contradicts the Independence ending for Vault City, while mentions of it invalidate the possibility of it being wiped out. As such, only two endings are possible, both of them resulting in NCR becoming a part of the Republic. See Fallout 2 endings for more details.
