Factions in 2275
Major Factions
NCR
While the NCR is a powerful faction, in 2275 it's power comes mainly from the size, and power of the New California Republic and the strategic location of the Mojave Territories which controls The Dam as well as encircles the entirety of the Mojave Chapter. Despite their apparent initial strength, the 
New California Republic is initially plagued by crises that limit it's ability to expand, except for expansion into 
the Rapids, 
the Divide, 
Paz Bandits, and 
Valle Bandits.
