Shady Sands, commonly referred to as just New California Republic in 2241, is the capital of a federation of towns in California of the same name. With a population in the tens of thousands, it is the largest settlement in the Core Region. The town of New California Republic can be found nineteen squares east and twenty-seven squares south of Arroyo.
[edit] Background
In the period between 2161 and 2241, the small settlement grew and expanded, forming one of the most influential political factions to emerge in the post-war United States, the New California Republic (NCR). Tandi, the daughter of Aradesh, eventually rose to the title of president of the sprawling New California Republic. Following the establishment of the NCR, the township expanded rapidly.
By 2241, Shady Sands is often referred to as simply New California Republic.[1] The town has transformed from a small farming settlement into the largest civilized population center in the Core Region, made prosperous via trade with smaller outlying townships. Almost nothing of Shady Sands remains, only a few familiar looking buildings. The heart of the city is the Congress district, where the Hall of Congress and the Presidential Mansion are located.
It is a clean town filled with honest, hardworking folk - at least that's how President-for-life Tandi would like to have it. The reality falls somewhat short of that goal. The NCR does keep order within its walls with a large and competent police force. Outside the walls, the NCR has so far been operating through others, buying and trading for things that they cannot yet take by open force.[2]
By far Shady Sands' greatest resource at that point are its vast herds of brahmin, which provide most of the NCR with as much meat and leather as is required. The brahmin barons and ranchers in NCR territories, along with the Stockmen's Association, hold a great deal of sway with the trade caravans and government.
