I was wondering if the New Californian Republic is really Christian? Does the NCR have anything to do with Christianity? Well ofcourse it is possible there are christians amongst them, but does the NCR recognise religion an important part of post-apocalyptic life?
In the letter you receive from ambassador Crocker, it ends with: "God Bless the New Californian Republic!"
Perhaps it's only because it was a pre-war custom, and it's associated with the pre-war democratic US?
