I envisioned them being in tatters, but I'm not 100% stuck to that.

I don't think it's out of the picture for them to be on their last legs by the end of Fallout 3. With the BoS' expansion and the Lone Wanderer doing a number on them, I could see it being a case to where they'd be firmly on their back heel...or successfully integrated into the BoS. 

I was gonna leave it up to the final verdict of [@Crusader Lord], since they'd have the most control over that area as it stands.

It's a plutocracy. One company has managed to attain a near total monopoly over the production of their region, and keeps people in line through a mix of bribing the real politicians, and hiring mercenaries to handle troublemakers. It was kind of meant to be a New Vegas style faction, but with a post-war economic genius rather than pre-war one.

Well, to help you out, the first question I have would be, "The production of [i]what[/i], exactly?" Is it a particular good or resource in particular that they have a stronghold over, or is it just the general production of all goods in a certain region?
