Cowboy Country

The Cowboy Country, otherwise known as The Conchise County Cowboys, are a nation in eastern Mexico and southern Arizona.

The group is well known for skirmishing with and raiding the traders inside Caesar's Legion, however they quickly flee before any serious Legion troops arrive. This is unlikely to go un-noticed for long as the Legion has plans to nail the bandits to crosses in the near future, once they get around to it.

They are one of the conquests Caesar receives in the early game.

The Legion has overrun Arizona, and threatens the life and liberty of everyone it claims overlordship over. While many refugees managed to flee from the Legion's armies, many more became slaves to Caesar's men. We must not let this happen to the men and women of the Cowboy Counrtry: no matter the cost

The Arizona Rangers, pledged to protecting the vulnerable from those who sought to subjugate them, have been fighting a decade-long conflict with Caesar's Legion and his brainwashed soldiers. While the Rangers were well trained and armed to the teeth, in the face of the Legion's overwhelming numbers they have been slowly forced to abandon more and more territory. After their defeat by the Malpais Legate in 2271, most of what remained of the Arizona Rangers fled over the Colorado to join the New California Republic. A small splinter chose instead to flee south to the last group of free settlements in Arizona: affectionately dubbed 'Cowboy Country'. While far too few Rangers remain for the group to claim leadership over the area, their military training and spec-ops expertise has a significant impact on the Cowboy Country.
