The Republic of the Rio Grande is the remnants of a Pre-War country in the Mexican region.
Historical background
With the rise of democracy came many challenges, and a long line of presidents have faithfully served the Republic in order to keep its people safe and happy. Despite this, tensions are running high as the Texan Arms Association continues to grow more and more discontent.

The Pre-War Republic of the Rio Grande was created as a puppet nation in Mexico, controlled by and serving the interests of the United States. Despite this, the nation had strong ties to Mexican defectors.[1] After the Great War, the Republic of the Rio Grande was reformed by an American colonel who stayed to help the nation after the War.[2] In doing this, the Republic of the Rio Grande became a military dictatorship, and remained one until thirty years after the Great War, when it became a full democracy, and has remained one by 2275.[3]

Politics
National spirits
The Republic of The Rio Grande starts with two national spirits:
The Republic of the Rio Grande had no arms industry at its inception. Rather than train people for the job, Colonel Griffin recruited experienced Texans from the land he liberated soon after the Great War. This has created a problem in the modern day, as the Texan Arms Association continues to lobby for its own interests, disrupting the process of democracy, and pocketing most of the Republic's wealth for itself.

Behind the scenes
- The Republic of the Rio Grande is based on the real world Republic of the Rio Grande, a nation that was formed in 1840 in protest to the Mexican government under Santa Anna, and was disestablished later that year.
- The Republic of the Rio Grande originally had a much different Pip-Boy Plus entry,[4] being much shorter and concise than the original entry.[5]
- The Republic of the Rio Grande was worked on by Faeelin,[6] assisted by design input from Zapdude.[7]

- ↑ Zapdude: "The Republic of the Rio Grande has strong ties to pre-war mexican defectors, and pre-war America, and sits on uneven ground as to its legitimacy as a "mexican successor state." However, it doesn't claim to be any sort of continuation of either group, instead standing on its own two feet in the atomic age"

MrBlazzar: "Actually it was made pre-war when America occupied Mexico
The Post war version was setup by a American general who didn't abandon them when the nukes dropped"

Note: The quote describes the American soldier as a general, however, the Nuclear Rain event states it was a colonel. - ↑ Pip-Boy Plus/Regions#The Republic of the Rio Grande: "The Republic of the Rio Grande is a democratic nation founded on the principles of liberty, freedom from oppression, and equality for all. Originally a collection of American occupation troopers and the Mexican nationals under their boot, the early years of the nation were fraught with tension and strife. The R.R.G. was not always a democracy, however, and first existed as a self-imposed military dictatorship. After thirty years of preparation and rebuilding, the dictatorship was phased out for a fully fledged democracy which still functions in 2275."
