Republics of Dust | Fallout RP | Alt-Timeline | OOC | CLOSED

[Prusslandia]

Faction/Nation Name: The United States of America. (May change the name to the Republic of Columbia.)
Faction/Nation Territory: The Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, and military installations across the Wasteland. (Essentially, canon Enclave outposts, as well as some bits in other places.)
Capital City/Faction HQ: Columbia. (Formerly Atlanta.)
Population: 550,000.
Government: A tolitarian republic with theocratic tendencies. Only white, male citizens and proles, with the exception of a landowning freeman, may vote. The classes are structured as follows.
Citizens- Primarily landowing White males and females. The only way into this class other than to own land is to serve in the military.
Proles- Indentured servants, white working-class people. Proles can vote, provided they are white.
Slaves- Non-Whites and subhumans owned under the bondage of slavery.
Leaders:
President Elijah Comstock IV.
High Inquisitor Tobias Clarke.
General Robert Calhoun.
(I'll add more as time goes on.)
National/Group Ideology: Christian Fundamentalism, American Exceptionalism, Manifest Destiny, White Supremacy, etc.
Military:
The Patriot's Militia- The Patriot's militia comprises the domestic defenses of the Republic. Drawn from the general population, these men and owmen are given training equal to that of other nations frontline infantry. Generally wear fatigues covered with kevlar, and wield hunting rifles and marksman carbines, as well as service rifles. The Patriot's number roughly 10,000.
The Minutemen- Trained to the standard of the United States Marine Corp, The Minutemen are the main force of the Republic of Columbia. Generally armed with an assault rifle or shotgun, these men and women defend Columbia with pride. The standard uniform is made up of gray-green fatigues underneath combat armor, with a tricorne hat. The Minutemen number 1,700, with roughly 500-600 in reserve.
The Firemen- The Firemen are an arm of the Inquisition, and are generally responsible for the immolation of heretics and heretical material, though they may be tasked with the execution of any rebellious slaves or sub-humans if the Minutemen ask for it. Should the Firemen be sent to the field, they will use Flamers and laser weaponry, while being outiftted in T-60 power armor. The Firemen number 450, with another 100 in power armour.
The Air Force- 40 VB-02 Verti-Birds, followed by one B-50 Bomber. The B-50 is equipped with a payload of gravity bombs, napalm, and 1 nuclear warhead alongisde other arnaments. Theoretically, more bombers could be procured, as Columbia holds Barksdale Air Force Base. However, massive repairs would have to be made to several of the vehicles.
Artillery- 15 Howitzers. 1 Anti-Air gun, of which a targeting computer needs to be procured, and for now will have to be sighted by eye. Smooth-bore cannons can be built when the Republic acquires a proper munitions factory.
Armor- One engineless tank.
The Inquisition- The Inquisition are both the special forces of the United States and the secret police. Inquisitors often wear reinforced combat armour, and wield laser and plasma weaponry. The Inquisition numbers 700, with an additional 300 in X-03 power armour.
Major Towns or Locations: Various military outposts across the wastes.
History: (Lazy history until I feel like actually filling it in)
2077- The Great War occurs. Several thousand United States military personnel, politcal figures, and other people of the upper class are shuttled into Control Vaults, protecting them from the nuclear war above. In another timeline, these men and women would have been known as the Enclave, but this is not then.
2220- The Vaults holding the Republic open. Contact is quickly established with other vaults still loyal to the United States government, and a string of outposts is setup across the former nation.

I'd like to say this is done, in honesty.

I have several questions.

How do you have vertibirds and plasma weaponry?

How do you have power armor?

What is a gravity bomb?

1. I'm former US military and government. We have (Last time I checked) three Enclave factions, including myself.
2. Standard US bomb payload. I'll link a video in a second. IIRC, Boomers probably used them in NV.

EDIT- Don't even need to link a video. A gravity bomb is just a free fall explosive- IE, a bomb without a guidance system.

OP stated that high tech Enclave like factions have to be small.

Nuka world, does it exist or is it just a dream in the mind of a long dead person?

EDIT: This may seem trivial, but if it does exist it would be a good reason for me to send a small expedition east

We resolved this. Only a small portion of his military uses advanced weapons, the majority of his military is a National Guard-Esq Militia that uses basic weapons and has basic training.

[Pacific Brotherhood of Steel]

Anything I need to resolve?

We had discussion earlier about who can and can't have vertibirds since everyone seems to have them. I pointed out that only Enclave like factions should have them. But I don't know what you think.

[The Traansval]

Sorry we're late. Ran into a pack of cazzadors on the way here and had to double back around. Nasty things almost came after us.

Has Flashbacks

[The Traansval]

Anything I need to resolve?

1. Did Pre-War America have Nuclear Fusion Power Plants?

2. Does Nuka World exist

3. What are the rules about Vertibirds. Obviously, Enclave like nations have em, but would it be possible to find blueprints to em in pre-war military installations like West Point, Trenton, Nellis, ETC.

4. What is the extent of our Maritime Power? Can we have Naval Trade, how far is the distance we can trade Navaly, and can we build a Military Navy, and if we can't, can we arm Pre-war Ships?

[The Traansval]

We had discussion earlier about who can and can't have vertibirds since everyone seems to have them. I pointed out that only Enclave like factions should have them. But I don't know what you think.

Also, Concord has control of the Dam. So your gonna basically have to fight a detachment of Enclave Troopers to take the Dam.

I agree with tthis to some extent, but you could always give Non-Enclave esque factions VB-01 Verti-Birds. VB-01 Verti-Birds have the glass canopym and the two crewed machineguns. They're primarily for transport and the like, not actual combat ops like the VB-02 are. Those are weaker than the VB-02.

Aditionally, you could have a restriction on how many they could have, as well as have them in poor condition.

Oh, I know.

[Versail]

Since I don't know how up to date the map is, are the cities of Flint, Saginaw, and Bay city and the areas in between them still unclaimed?

I like the idea of having VB-01 Verti-birds instead of specific combat ops ones.

[Pacific Brotherhood of Steel]

From what I can tell, yes.

[The Traansval]

Since I don't know how up to date the map is, are the cities of Flint, Saginaw, and Bay city and the areas in between them still unclaimed?

The map is updated very frequently, so yes.

[The Traansval]

Yup.^^

So.

VB-02 Combat Vertibirds for Enclave-Esq Nations

VB-01 Transports for nations that are non-enclave, but found blueprints in pre-war military facilities.

I still don't know. I don't think even the old prototypes should be given out. The only way would be to build them if you have the knowhow and some prints. That would be determined by Waz if you have both.

Nuka world, does it exist or is it just a dream in the mind of a long dead person?

EDIT: This may seem trivial, but if it does exist it would be a good reason for me to send a small expedition east

Nuka world? Sure. It exist. It's a theme park mostly...

1. What's the reason for this question? Like what does it effect. Not the best on the nuclear fission and fusion argument, so please bring me up to speed.
2. Yes.
3. Vertibirds. Concord/Enclave like factions can have and produce them(If they have a production facility.). Other nations simply can have them, but are limited to maintaining them. Cannon lore states that Vertibirds are post-war made by factions like the Enclave, with most pre war models being test prototypes like we saw in Fallout 4. This Fallout 3 description proves it:

The XVB02 "Vertibird" is a VTOL ("Vertical Take Off and Landing") craft with an extremely durable armored fuselage and can be armed with a variety of offensive weapons and defensive countermeasures. This is the most advanced aircraft of its kind ever developed, and the military hopes to press them into service by 2085.

The blueprints for even the pre-war designs would need to be found if a major nation wishes to produce them. And let me say, the only location that would have such information is the headquarters of the company in charge of designing the craft. Sorta like the only way to learn how to produce Power Armor is the West Tek facility in The Glow(If you can survive the trip.) Here is where the problem comes in. We don't have a company that seems to take ownership of being in charge of building the Vertibird. So, I'm going to assign one. Ball Aerospace, which was a pre-war company mentioned in Van Buren will be the one to design it. It's headquarters will be in....Miami, Florida. With a special "defensive surprise," to make it hard to gather the information.

4. Navies...now this has always been a tuff one. Pre-war ships are a no. However, makeshift ships built out a wood are possible if you have the craftsmanship. Even some vessels of steel ships sorta like the Ironclads of the 1800's are also possible. The range of course would mainly be shoreline of wherever it is. And how it's designed.

Since I don't know how up to date the map is, are the cities of Flint, Saginaw, and Bay city and the areas in between them still unclaimed?

It is up to date.

I don't know that sadly. Am gonna be extra sad when I learn that after 2 months of travel.

[New CaliforniaRepublic]

Is this still open?

[Waztaskio]

By the way. Thinking of letting you all in on a little project I may undertake. Thinking of making a summary of the conditions of the 48 states of the United States. Now this won't do anything to how it's governed, or limit new players. However, I feel like each state should have it's benefits to controlling it, and it's cons. Maybe what unique monsters would be there? Like Mutated Crocodiles in Florida. Etc. And possibly some hints as to new secrets, such as "Steel Production, Aircraft Assembly, etc." What do you all think about the idea?

Is this still open?

Yep. Going strong too.

Nuclear Fission involves bombarding a Atom, usually a Uranium Atom, with energy causing it to Split Apart. This is how nuclear energy is achieved in the modern world of 2017. But, it is incredibly Ineffective. It takes about 1% (Got this from Science Class, so it might not be that accurate) of the total potential energy out of the Atom, and the rest becomes Nuclear Waste.

Fusion is, right now, only Theoretical. It happens all the time in stars. Fusion involves doing what we do with Fission, but instead we fuse two atoms together. This creates far, far more power and a lot less Nuclear Waste.

Now, Fusion has already been achieved with the Micro Fusion Cells. In Fallout 4, which i know is non-cannon but i'l still use it, there are Fusion Cells.

So, did Pre-War America have Fusion Power Plants, comparable in size to Today's Fission Plants.
