My bad. I tend to overlook numbers when I glance over what I write, so I missed that typo.

Name: Solaris Republic
Location: Colorado/Southern Wyoming
Icon:
History:
Shortly after the Legion's dispersal, a small cult of Sun-worshippers known as the Heirs of Solaris made their mark by uncovering a survivor of a recent building explosion. Surprised to find that the man was wearing Brotherhood power armor, they nursed him back to health so they could take advantage of what they assumed would be vast knowledge and resources. To their dismay, he told them that he had been exiled from the Brotherhood on the count of his overly take-charge nature. Instead, he traveled with them to a region close to the Colorado-Wyoming border and established a settlement their.
They agreed that Xander Palomo would be in charge of the militia that would protect the town, and the Heirs would govern and run the markets, as well as spread their religion to the best of their ability. The last part they did with deadly efficiency. Many ex-Legion members flocked to the city out of either excitement in joining a remnant group of their old nation, hope of finding a lost loved one, or simply to find a safe place with a stable society. Far more people than that, however, were drawn in by the charismatic Heirs' missionary works, and the town very soon found itself overpopulated. Commander Palomo soon realized that they would need to branch out, so he organized a meeting between himself and the original Heirs which ran the town and established a policy known as the "Land Under The Sun Act"- an imperialist doctrine that gave the city the right to take any land under the Sun it so desired in the name of Solaris.
And under this new act, the enthusiastic Commander led his militia with great zeal to other settlements and either initimidated them into submitting to annexation, or being executed and having their land given to Solaris citizens. The republic spread about 150 miles outward in any direction, and they quickly secured more than enough land to satisfy their needs. Their only goal at this point was to secure Denver, which was held by a large band of Slavers who used much of the city as a central trading hub for their "merchandise".
After five years of hard-fought warfare, the Solarians drove out the Denver Slavers and secured the mostly intact city as their land. The need for more of everything left the republic with not only more jobs than they could fill, but a massive influx of wasteland "immigrants" into the "nation" seeking to end their poverty.
With the republic still in its infancy and rapidly growing, and the government incredibly efficient, things are looking up for the nation ex-Legionaries and tribals. However, the new republic has seen establishing the currency as a low priority and therefore still accepts bottlecaps as its primary currency.
Recently, in just 2289, the now-President as well as Army Commander Xander Palomo made a move and executively estaished policies that changed the republic's ideals and functions. He did this behind the backs of the Heirs that had once nursed him back to health. Prior to his changes, the nation was more if an Oligarchic Dictatorship that happened to grant many liberties than most, and the fact that Xander established a Parliament and set terms for ifficial positions infuriated his colleagues. The Heirs hired an assassin from a tribe they had absorbed named Randall Pierce to "take care of" Palomo. The assassination attempt was successful, and on March 15, 2089, President Xander Palomo was killed in his sleep by Pierce, who was later stabbed to death by an angry mob of Solarians.
The Heirs of Solaris as a whole declared Xander a Saint of the Sun, much to the dismay of the religion's leaders, and a statue of his likeness stands alongside statues of Edward Swallow, the revered "Creator of the conditions that led to Solaris's prosperity", and Marty Unitolo, the man who died in sacrifice via suicide bombing, which took out an entire raiding camp of Slavers who had been onceon the outskirts of the town Solaris in its early days, which was weak and an easy target for such people.
The people elected successful soldier and caravaneer Phoebe Lowe as both their new president and the first woman to be elected to an official position- quite the feat given the sentiment many ex-Legion citizens had about women. She has made it her priority to send what troops she can scouting and establishing bases to ensure that threats are far less likely to come close to their established borders- something which required the aid of prospecting ranchers and their private militaries, hence the signing of the Semi-Feudalist Frontier Act. This established a law that granted any willing frontiersmen government aid in exchange for military aid. The turnout of this policy will be told over the course of the next year, as speculated by political theorists.
Other:
Major Cities:
Cheyenne: The religious hub and Holy City of the Heirs. Also the largest city in northern Solaris.
Solaria: The original city built from the ground up post-war. With the aid of special blueprints found in Denver, skyscrapers of up to ten stories have been built and are still being constructed today, giving the republic a very unique job market within this city. Solaria is also the central trade hub and midway point between Denver and Cheyenne.
Denver: Refurbished city where the government has been relocated to and reestablished. Both Parliament and the President reside here.
Military groups within the nation:
Troopers- Standard soldiers outfitted with the signature blaze-orange combat armor of the republic, and armed with a 9mm pistol and a variation of automatic weapons.
Private soldiers- Usually a bit more hostile, but they still fight for the republic- mostly. Sometimes the interests of their contractor may lead to suspicious behavior. Only found in the "Frontier States".
Blaze Runners (Founded in 2286)- All suits of power armor were pulled from the wrecked building that Xander's team died in, and they were refurbished and painted a deep red-orange to signify their alliance as well as their elite status. Always armed with the highest tier of weapons, there are only 113 at a time. A locator is located within the armor, and is used to locate the armor of fallen soldiers. Only two sets have been lost to date, and one was recovered on the market by coincidence.
Lunar Guard: An extremist cult of Heirs the dons pitch black recon armor and makes extensive use of stealth boys, they orchestrate numerous assaults and assassinations on various groups both outside and inside the nation. Although the rumor that Randall Pierce was one of the Lunar Guard has soiled their reputation, the government has enlisted their aid in scouting the frontier as well. They believe in protecting the people from the doers of the demon Lunula's bidding by acting hostile toward all non-solarians, and even exhibiting a dislike for non-Heirs.
Message from yours truly: I hope this size is more acceptable, but due to the way the government works, it is key for their to be three large cities.

I see no one has returned from Christmas celebrations yet. Maybe most of your vacations extend to New Year's Day and a little beyond! Only time will tell...
This is Revolutionary by the way.
This is Revolutionary by the way.
Finally back from holiday events. May be another few days before I roll out an IC post, but right now I'm working on rewriting my sheet.
How does northeast Colorado, southeast Wyoming, and southwest Idaho sound?
Hence the question mark. I'll need to sleep on this. It's past 1 AM here and I'm incredibly tired. I should have this all thought out by tomorrow evening.
I suppose I could move it to Kansas(?) or something along those lines, but I'll need time to adjust the parts of the history that involve the location. I may also alter Xander's origins to accommodate as well. I'll probably do it tomorrow.
Name: The Solaris Republic
Location: All of Florida, parts of Georgia all the way up to Atlanta,, and small portions of Alabama and South Carolina.

History: The Solaris Republic made its start in the St. Petersberg region of Florida in 2136. It was founded, much like the Pitt Raiders, by a stranded Brotherhood of Steel member who was left behind by his brothers and sisters. His name was Xander Palomo. He was caught in an explosion just outside of Miami and was thought to be dead after he and about a hundred others were trapped inside a collapsing building. He escaped the wreckage only to find that all if his friends had either left him behind or died by his side.
Instead of becoming depressed, Xander went on and founded a city with the help of a local religious cult called the Heirs of Solaris. Together, they built an impressive city. The missionaries of the Heirs went out and converted people for them, and this in turn caused the converts to flock to Solaris. The population grew rapidly, and soon a militia was formed. The militia was put to use by Xander to take other lands and integrate them into Solarian society.
After several successful annexations, Xander realized that the city was turning into a republic, so he quickly called the central Heirs to a meeting. Together, the signed into effect the ifficial Solarian Constitution and declared themselves a sovereign nation. This news created buzz in the surrounding wasteland, and they all soon willingly joined the then-Oligarchy out of fear.
30 more years would pass and the Solarian Oligarchy would have a solid foothold in Florida all the way from the southern tip to the Georgia border, minus most of the panhandle. The Oligarchy then went stangnant an decided to work on its internal issues- including the war still being waged over Miami.
The Solarians fought hard to clear out the massive raider presence in Miami, and they did so with surprising efficiency. Due to Xander's patience and combat IQ, the republic was led to a well-fought but drawn out war with minimal casualties. This war officially ended in 2179, and marked the beginning of the rater long era of peace the soon-to-be republic would endure.
Xander lead the nation into his near-death stages. His knowledge that it was nearly his time, combined with the fact that he always held the belief that Republics and Democracies were morally sound governments, he challenged his partners, the Heirs, and changed many of the policies that the Republic had in play. The cost of this- as Ptolemy knew- led to the Heirs orchestrating an assassination on him. This attempt succeeded, and his death marked the nation's holiday of St. Ptolemy's Day. The Heirs of Solaris as a whole recognized Xander as a Saint in their religion, and immortalized him in their sacred rituals.
The republic would continue to grow internally, and it would eventually hit its peak in 2284. It was overpopulating in most areas, and it needed more land to occupy. The imperial mindset returned to the people and the current president, President Richard Fuller, signed the Second Wave Imperialism Act which enabled him to lead his military on the front lines into the uncharted frontier of Georgia. They fought their way through many tribes, and integrated others. He stopped his advance in the Atlanta ruins, where he ordered the military to begin the search for lost technology.
The military still slowly cintinued its advance outward until it reached slightly beyond the South Carolinian border, roughly on the same line of latitude as Atlanta, and into Alabama and the Floridian panhandle. They still fight to keep their borders safe, but the efforts proved to be not enough. People still managed to get in, and the "secured" territory was still being ransacked by opportunist slavers and raiders. In response to this, the Parliament located in Miami enacted the Semi-Feudalism Frontier Act which enabled the government to allot frontier land to its citizens for a low price in exchange for the citizens' private armies' assistance in taming the land. The bill proved highly effective close to the previous boundaries, but it rapidly became less effective the further north the plots were. People were less eager to buy land up there, and as such the assistance was not provided where it was needed most.
The fate of the nation rests in the future, and time will tell which path it takes.
Other:
Major Cities
Miami- the Governmental hub, where all government officials reside and do their work.
St. Petersburg- The religious hotspot originally dedicated to followers of the Heirs of Solaris religion, but eventually became open to all religions as one of the effects of President Prolemy's "Constitutional Refinements".
Solaris- The major trade center where nearly all businesses base themselves. It is a very rich city that acts as the major midway point on the route between Miami and St. Petersburg.
Military Divisions:
Troopers- Standard soldiers outfitted with the signature blaze-orange combat armor of the republic, and armed with a 9mm pistol and a variation of automatic weapons.
Private soldiers- Usually a bit more hostile, but they still fight for the republic- mostly. Sometimes the interests of their contractor may lead to suspicious behavior. Only found in the "Frontier States".

So I hope it isn't too much of a bother if I hop on in here. I don't want it back or anything- I was merely the creator of the title. You made everything else, so I merely wish to be a part of this. Experience NRP for the first time.
And I thank you for that. I'm not a particularly great GM anyways, so I was kinda going off the hope that someone who'd be better at leading the thing would do just that.
