Hmm, you are giving me ideas. Maybe... although it might just be an outpost / small city.

Vancouver is just as big as Seattle, and likely didn't get hit, or at least got hit less hard.

Nah. America owned Canada in Fallout. Vancouver was the larger city, and probably got hit just as hard.

And mind you, fallout nukes were not huge ICBMS. 200-750 kilotons were the nukes we are working with. A great way to play with landing zones and get a damage estimate from areas hit would be this:

I recommend selecting the W-88 as a good mix between values, and use that to plot out damage and initial causalities when the great war hit. Maybe that can help give you radiation estimates, damage, and even help with population.

Mind the fact that the USA's first H-bomb test yielded 10 megatons. (1952, Ivy Mike). Then again ICBMs never really used huge multi-megaton nukes.

603,500 people are in Vancouver. 652,405 are in Seattle.

Vancouver is also half Asian [Most commie Asian city outside of Asia.] Less than half of the population is white.

Glad to see that this idea of mine seems to be rather popular. Maybe I'm tapping into something here.

[Intermountain States]

If it's a large city, it's probably going to get hit since Canada was annexed by the US in the Fallout universe

How big could my military be at max? Ronto is referenced to be a in the lore as a strong military power [Even though this is non-canon, still]

[New Minahasa]

Faction/Nation Name: The Concord of Stars; The Star Concord: The Concord.
Faction/Nation Territory: The Concord controls a few scattered outposts and military bases outside the vault.
Capital City/Faction HQ: Vault 122.
Population: 1,500.
Government: Totalitarianism. Democracy is an illusion to the people, and the power-in-control seeks to keep it that way. While the people may have freedom of speech, those who do not agree with the government is secretly handled with.
Leaders: President Otto Cannon.
National/Group Ideology: Totalitarian democracy.
Military: 900 highly-trained group of soldiers, equipped with the finest weaponry and armoury provided by the government. All of them wear an advanced power armour called the T-70 Mk. II power armour, designed and engineered by the scientists of the Concord. They also have in control about 50 vertibirds scattered across their outposts and hidden bases in the states.
Major Towns or Locations: Sierra Army Depot, CA; Fort Sill, OK; Fort Drum, NY.
History: In 2054, a project known as "Project Safehouse' was commisioned by the U.S. government. The project had intended to build 122 vaults across the states by the Vault-Tec Corporation. But in the following year, the government had also created a treaty with Vault-Tec. The last of the vaults, Vault 122, would be built only for the most valuable personnels of the U.S. government, including the president himself. The treaty was known as the "Concord of Stars". Vault-Tec agreed, and the vault was built in Wichita, KS. The vault itself was huge, and inside contained vertibirds and military vehicles. In 2077 as China and USA declared war against each other, all of the nearby personnels were immediately directed to the vault. Most of the people managed to get in, but a handful unfortunate souls were left behind, including the president. The vault was filled with all sorts of people; military, scientists, and engineers. Resources were plentiful, as how it should be. General Garrett Lynn, the only high-ranked military personnel to survive in the vault, quickly put himself in charge of the vault and the people inside. Power hungry, he immediately declared himself the new president of the United States. Twenty years after the Great War, the vault door opened. Vertibirds and soldiers were sent out to recover strategic positions, and soon the Concord of Stars, taken from the treaty name, was built.

Well, remember the rule for standing armies is generally no more then 1% of the population. 4% in cases of conscription, as if you need to go over that you're economy is going to feel some repercussions. So just divide 1% of your population for your max military.

[Rygondria]

Tijuna eh, Mexican republic is going to have a good time fighting you.

[Intermountain States]

I wonder how my military would go since I'm planning on using Securitrons from Fallout New Vegas as my standing army.

The survivors regrouped nearby where one of the kids found a hidden bunker. Inside they found pre-war weapons, armor, and even a suit of power armor. Although the they couldn't use the power armor yet, they could certainly use the weapons. the group of 12 armed themselves and set out, within a day they had found the raiders that attacked them and what was left of the people they took. The fight was hard and of the 12 that entered only 7 were left standing when it was done, but they one the raiders were dead now it was time to find the living, and count the dead.

Oh no. My military's about 55k Super Mutants and Nightkin. Should I just decrease the numbers? Cuz logically all of the Super Mutants and Nightkin would act as soldiers.

The NCR had around 700,000 people but had a large military, likely bigger than 28 000 which is 4% of 700,000. I'm conflicted whether to making Ronto or a medium sized bandit group called the Highwaymen patrolling around and in Columbus, Ohio.

[Walrusvylon]

"War never changes" is one of the stupidest things that I have ever heard. Just think about how much war has changed over the course of human history: At one point war was cavemen stabbing each other with sticks, then it was knights in shining armor, then trench warfare, machine guns, and now nuclear warfare, in the near future drones, and far from now it will be killer robots and giant space lasers. It's actually quite amazing and also terrifying.

I don't know about that. The NCR was pretty powerful and really didn't face a foe that required more manpower until they met Caesars Legion. And even that force wasn't huge, as they had problems controlling the Mojave due to limited troops. I agree they had a large military, but I highly doubt it went over 28,000. Doubt it even reached 20,000. NCR was mostly kept to itself during the long rule of Tandi, and only really had one really ambitious president being Kimbell. The rest were...so-so's. Little their, little here. And keep in mind the NCR army was a mix between conscripts and volunteers. So I'm sure they always kept the conscripts to have a limited force always around, but the volunteers just added ontop of that. I just can't see the NCR going higher then 28,000 in the scenarios it was presented with. Maybe...12,000 at best.

They mean the fact its all the same in concept. The whole thing about wars are just about killing and crap.

55k Super Mutants is REALLY too high. The Master only probably had like 2,000 at best, and that's extremely generous. And those numbers included nightkin. Cause a lot of his experiments ended in failure, and why The Master had to get pure humans for his experiments.

Im very interested in this, since Fallout is one of my favorite game franchises out there.

Im hoping to make a nation in Louisiana. Has someone else already started that? I dont want to steal anyone's idea if they have.

Nope. Go for it.

Would a small, 5 man exploration crew count as a faction?
