Fallout

The heart of the city and the New California Republic, this building houses the government, including the president's office and the congressional meeting place. The NCR government resembles the pre-war United States, with a Congress made up of elected representatives from each state. These representatives appoint a president and vice president to lead the council, with no fixed terms for the presidency. Titles vary, such as "Advisor," "Council Member," or "Senator," with hubbers calling theirs "Governors." In front of the building stands a statue of the Vault Dweller, the national hero of the republic. As a government center and symbol of democracy, the Congress Hall is a strategic target for enemies. During the war with the Brotherhood of Steel, the building was destroyed, allegedly by Brotherhood spies, which severely impacted the morale of the citizens and complicated the governance of the republic.
