Say you've taken over Hoover Dam and become the King of the Mojave. How would you run it? What policies would you make? How would you manage taxes, infrastructure, laws, etc? How would you manage the other factions? Would you form any alliances or wipe them out (assume you have a Securitron Army of hundreds, maybe thousands, of robots)? Be as creative as you like.

I do believe this is the wrong section.

Assuming a Wild Card Ending:

-extend securitron patrols to Freeside + work with Kings to secure order
-everyone is allowed on the Strip (no more money checks) as long as they don't cause trouble
-massive infrastructure projects improving sanitation, food and water access in Freeside (if Mr. House can spend 800,000 caps on a platinum chip, he's rolling in dough)
-Make the Lucky 38 the seat of government of New Vegas
-Kick the Omertas out; replace with a more respectable tribe/organization
-add human guards to aid Securitrons in patrolling streets

I want people to narrate how they would rule the Mojave as if we were allowed to continue after a Wild Card ending (with endless possibilities, not restricted to a game); wouldn't that qualify as fan fiction?

Yes, yes it would.

Some of the things I'd do. In my Mojave the Khans decamped for Wyoming and the BoS signed a truce with the NCR and are still around.

-Re-establish the Nevada Desert Rangers, and make Raoul it's Commander.
-Get assistance from the BoS to help the Rangers secure I-15 so it's safe to travel from the Strip to Mojave Station.
-Send in the Rangers backed by the Securitrons to put the hammer down on the Fiends, Jackals, ect...and the Powder Gangs.
-Re-settle Vault 3 so it doesn't become a gang den again.
-Put down the Omertas, free thier slaves, and replace them with someone I can do business with...I'm thinking the Garrett Twins.
-Help the Kings to restore order in Freeside and then police it.
-Start taxing the Casinos, and to a lesser extent the people to pay for improving the roads, public utilities, and security forces.
-Work out something with the NCR to get tech assistance to keep the Dam operational.
-start nudging the various settlements into forming a region wide government I can eventually hand over power to.
-Re open the Lucky 38 and Bison Steve....the latter as my personal property....to provide jobs and tax revenue.
-Get assistance from the FoTA to set up a hospital.

I would try to unite the Followers, Boomers, and Mojave BoS under one flag (the Mojave Republic or something). Since the Boomers and Followers seem reasonable, the only ordeal would be to convince the BoS to use their technology for the good of the people. I would also use the securitrons to clear out dangers like deathclaws, cazadors, etc. to make the Mojave a generally safer place. BoS/Boomers with a small Securitron accompaniment would patrol the roads as a sort of police. The Followers could also research vault 22 to create more advanced forms of food production (until then, the Boomers would teach the other settlements how to farm properly). Freeside would be transofrmed into a residential area for the Followers, Boomers, and BoS leaders to stay in close proximity to the Lucky 38, which will serve as an administrative branch headquarters.

In that case yes it would.

Assert a Communistic State in The Mojave. But seriously, I would make a militaristic state, kill anyone who opposed me, and change my name to "Josef Stalin".

Or, you could change it to "Mr. House"

NOTE: Caesars Legion was convinced to stay in there territory to make it stronger.

First off I would start a war against the NCR. To defeat them I would get the Boomers to bomb there cites and bases then send Securitrons and Brotherhood of Steel in to finish them off. Once the NCR was defeated I would bring the Securitrons back and let the Brotherhood of Steel take whatever tech they wanted. After this I would unify the factions of the Mojave and get them all to work together. Within time New Vegas would be rebuilt and such.

I like this, but I would prefer to keep good relations with the NCR for a while, at least until we could start using the REPCONN facilities to make weapons and robots, Vault 22 and Lake Mead to get a good food and water supply going, and perhaps repair some of those planes at Nellis AFB. Then, I would eradicate any remains of the Legion and finally make my way to claim some NCR land for me (with Boomer/BoS support of course).

Government: Oligarchy! I'd have the Three Families of New Vegas, Julie Farkas, Aiden(The Courier), Veronica, and a representative for any town that wants to be involved in decisions. Of course Aiden would be the head of the New Vegas Area. The citizens cannot vote for anything but are allowed to protest if no damage is done to property(picket signs and marching is completely allowed). However, the citizens have rights such as freedom of speech, freedom of religion.

The State: All of the Mojave would be part of Diem Lux(Daylight). Most towns would grow bigger and have a regime of human soldiers and one Securitron regime leader to act as General of the town military. All towns under protection by the Diem Lux would have to pay taxes when buying items at a general store. In exchange, the regime attacks any and all raiders who try to attack a town. They also keep roads safe.

New Vegas: New Vegas would be the heart of the Diem Lux, the largest city and Capital City. It would extend its walls to cover all of Freeside and Westside. The Strip itself would be like the "Mall" in Washington D.C right now. All the casinos would stand as it is but would have renovated features like more gambling games and better security. The Lucky 38 being the main government building and most expensive casino.

As for residential areas all of Freeside would become a Pre-War style residential area along with all of Vault 21. Freeside being for regular citizens while Vault 21 being for rich ones. Old Mormon Fort would be torn down and replaced with a residential hospital where the Followers would work. The New Vegas clinic would become a massive hospital.

Allies:
-Obviously, the Followers, who Diem Lux would keep an independent faction(like Singapore and Malaysia).
-The Brotherhood of Steel, who Diem Lux considers a little brother, the Brotherhood supplies manpower while Diem Lux supplies them with technology.
-Caesar's Legion. Diem Lux stays in the West while Caesar's Legion stays in the East.
-Every single town in the Mojave, except Jacobstown, because all Super Mutants are put in execution camps.

Enemies:
-NCR obviously. But NCR is no match for Diem Lux since they have over a thousand Securitrons. They're pretty much Cold War.
-What remains of the Boomers after Aiden killed the leaders.
-Every raider in existence. Exception being the Fiends as many Fiends were treated by the Followers and became Diem Lux soldiers.
-Super Mutants in general.

Resources:
- All Deathclaws from Quarry Junction were exterminated and building blocks are gotten from there.
- Lake Mead, after purifying the water some more using Lucky 38 Technology, it's used as a water source and farming area.
- The Repconn facility is used to hold ballistic missiles and the place to create Securitrons.
- Helios One is used for energy for the Mojave Wasteland in general.
- Hoover Dam is used as as the main energy source for the Mojave Wasteland.
- Many rural NCR farming grounds are now Diem Lux farming grounds.
- Brahmin Barons were executed and a Farmer's Union controls all Brahmin.
- The Archimedes 2 Satellite was brought online using Helios One's technology copied by the Brotherhood to be used as a siege weapon.
Locations
- Goodsprings became a huge trading and hunting settlement. The main meat being Gecko meat and many caravans stop by for food and water to and from Caesar's Legion and the Brotherhood of Steel.
- Primm became known as "Little New Vegas", a bunch of casinos lined the streets. New Vegas for people who can't afford the trip there.
- Novac became a massive site for missile testing. Basically Huston.
- The 188 Trading Post was given to Veronica as anniversary present by Aiden. Veronica turned it into a huge trading area for Caesar's Legion and Diem Lux.
- The NCR Prison was converted into a Diem Lux Military training ground.
- Mojave Outpost is the outpost where the Diem Lux army keeps watch on NCR.
- Nipton became a massive cemetery.
- The Hole(the one in Westside), became a place where prisoners were sent to fight for their freedom.
- Jacobstown was completely rid of Super Mutants and became a snow resort for Diem Lux citizens.
- The Fort became the single largest prison in the Diem Lux area.

Oh yea, Zerker, my communism state is based off of Antium.

Also, your a mutant hater!!!!!!!

Lololololololololololololololololololololololololol

I hate mutants because they are ugly as [censored]. They also have no brains or education or anything. It's like I'm killing a rock that can hold a gun or a super powered sledgehammer.

I would rule Vegas with a plastic fist! Grah!

Bah! A plastic fist is none so compared to my FISHY STICK (no, Gabriel77dan, not you).

Nice to see well developed posts like yours, DarkZerker. Thanks

I would sit back and let Mr. House rule over Vegas

I would eleminate any crimes in New Vegas by death*P After thats over, people would get the idea not to commit any trouble in NV. After that, securitrons will visit the KIng and negotiate a cean up freeside campaign. A larger, more modern and safe warehouse/lab would be constructed near the Crimson Company for the Followers. I would then visit my good friends, the Boomers, and allow a passage route from their current loction to the Morman Fort, in which I'd have them position long ranged howitzers there to repell any enemy approachers in the outskirts of town. From there, the BOS will be allowed an alliance with Silver Rush for energy weapon exchanging and supply deals. The Silver Rush family would be wiped out if they refused to help out Freeside/NV areas because of silly, greedy reasons. New members would then take their place. Good Springs will become a secured stopping town to/from NV, therefore prosper from the passerbyes, Securitrons would venture in squads to further towns to offer a safe escort to NV

- Work with the King to help Freeside and improve the Strip. I need his Charsma.
- Fix up freeside like said and do my best to put securitron order in this area.
-credit check would go down to 500 caps. (i know its not exactly free but you can't ust have anyone go through.
- work with the followers of the apocalypse and the kings extend their protection and supplies into westside and North vegas.
- All non military NCr personel will be allowed to visit New Vegas but will be closely watched. Trade will be allowed.
- Set up with some kind of Eyebot communication system to adress key players in the mojave Area so we can discuss important actions helpfully.
- work with the BOs to reach an agreement with Helios, that they may have it as long as they use it for non military purposes and that they take patrols down the I-15 to keep safe from Deathclaws and certain mutants.
- discuss with Marcuas on some kind of trade with Westside for the bighorner meat and mutant protection from fiends so they may have supplies of the co-op.
- recover Legion slaves and possibly deserters and let them settle in and gaurd Novac and rebuild Nipton and other Legion burned and occupied towns. Also introduce past Legion deserter if possible to Red Lucy and give hem something to do like hunt deathclaws and such for the arena. Keep their bloodlust sated and keep them out of my hair.
- Work with the chairmen to help with the Strip. Keeping a close eye on the white Glove Society, and Running the Omertas out of the Mojave and reinstate a more trustworthy business team like the garretts as said before.
- The VanGraffs would be kept a good eye on and due to their cut off NCR supply in the mojave I would black mail them into supplying me with EW for my trusted army of humans.
- Great Kahns will be allowed to stay in the area and trade but must not supply the Fiends. Help expand their medical chems and allow regular chems to be legal. I will also increase trade with them if they keep some of the caravan roads clean of Powder Gangers and other raider like trouble.
- Boomers I wll try to trade for their arnament and protection from the north, I will take my time and not force myself on them.

I like these ideas. after bringing stability (sending securitrons to exterminate abominations, feral ghouls, and any hostile creatures) and order in dangerous areas, I would help create larger towns. Goodsprings, Primm, Novac, Boulder City, Bitter Springs, Nelson, Nipton, and Cottonwood Cove would become major cities with a good supply of food and water. Securitrons would patrol the roads and be assigned to each town for protection. After creating an army consisting of Boomers and Mojave BoS, I would enforce my rules and finally bring safety and order to the Mojave. Then, I wuld expand North and East, using Boomer artillery and bombers, trained Brotherhood infantry, and Securitrons to wipe out any trace of caesar's legion. of course, I would have to make sure that I have a sizable army and some way to manufacture more Securitrons, or the NCR would attack from my flank and obliterate me.

I'd have cazador babies and take over the world. Would it happen? Most likely. Would it feel good? HELL NO!

I would exterminate those not worthy to bow down to my superiority. An oligarchy would be formed, with Boxcars being the Vice-President.

You would trust a Powder Ganger as your right hand man? Also, an oligarchy with two people? More of a dictatorship if you ask me...
