[b]Mounties[/b]
The Mounties rarely use mounts, thanks to the extinction of many species. But they are a semi-traditional Canadian branch of the military and law enforcement. They are trained in the use of both swords and fire arms, though more the latter. They resemble the New California Republic in their laws and organization, though they sometimes function as a mercenary group thanks to the Post-War Apocalyptic conditions of the world around them. Their organization controls Quebec few remaining fresh water sources and fresh water reserves, and thanks to the fresh water trade with Virginia, Quebec has experienced a sort of Renaissance in many areas of their culture, having the economic power to establish themselves as a major power in the wastelands, yet being not as prosperous as the Mojave nor as poor or low valued as nearly any other wasteland.
