History
The people of the US West Coast had been less affected by the plague than most other places, so there was still a sizable population base left to rebuild civilization. In 2037, representatives from the independant and prospering cities of Anaheim, San Bernardino, Riverside, Santa Barbara, San Diego, and Ventura met in the deserted ruins of Los Angeles and forged the New California Republic to rebuild Southern California. With the foundations of government working, the people of the NCR could rebuild their shattered society.

And rebuild they did. Out of the ruins of LA they created New Angeles, a glorious capital city that dwarfed even New York back in the old days. New Angeles was a monument to the new era, built in the cyberpunk style. The old skyscrapers were renovated, deserted neighborhoods demolished to make way for parks, and suburbs rebuilt so that the people of the NCR could live like the people of Middle America years ago. A subway system was built. The entire economy of the NCR went into the construction of New Angeles.

Impressed, in 2055, the people of the San Francisco Bay Republic decided to join the NCR. The NCR now stretched from San Diego to the redwood forests of the north. By 2069, a new city, New Francisco, had been constructed, similar to New Angeles, but less massive.
