When the Republic switched to dollars as currency, backing them with gold, the mining city became the key to the trade in the entire New California. The geopolitical struggle centered around the town of Redding, the region's primary supplier of gold ore. Tandi also faced opposition to her politics of peaceful expansion, with Vault 15 acting as proving ground. However, Northern California became an arena where the NCR struggled to dominate its two rivals: Vault City and New Reno. With the situation of Southern California stabilized, President Tandi intended to expand north. Dementia and other ailments of the elderly seemingly failed to sink their hooks into her. Closing on 100 years of age in 2241, Tandi remained acting president, still retaining her wit and youthful fire. Her ideals long since replaced by pragmatism, she was not above forging a deal with New Reno to bully Vault City into joining the NCR and supplying it with their superior medical technology. She was focused on expanding the state, to bring peace and stability to the wastes. Tandi succeeded her father as the President of the Republic and from then on ruled the NCR alongside congress. Much of its power was provided by its vast brahmin herds, which provide meat, leather, beasts of burden, and other goods for trade. By 2241, when Tandi began her tenth term in office, the Republic was the largest economic and political power in the wasteland. As President, Tandi did more to unite the wasteland than any other leader born after the Great War, including rebuilding the pre-War infrastructure to support the growing population, finding new forms of transportation and manufacturing, clearing roads and rail lines, building forts, fostering caravans and trade inside and outside of the Republic, as well as dealing with threats swiftly and efficiently. She continued to win all consecutive elections until her death, serving full ten terms and beginning the eleventh. Īfter Aradesh's disappearance and presumed death in 2196, his daughter was elected unanimously as the second President of the New California Republic. In 2189 the Republic was voted into existence as a federation of five states: Shady, Los Angeles, Maxson, Hub, and Dayglow. Though the alliance causes some concern in the Hub, ultimately it had little effect on the relations. The ideals of the NCR would spread throughout California steadfast, with Junktown becoming one of the first provisional states of the New California Republic, due to its status as one of Shady Sands' oldest and most trusted trade partners. A trial council government was formed to draft a constitution. In 2186 the New California Republic was founded. This lead to the emergence of a national identity movement which gradually gained popular acceptance. With a strong economy and Tandi's determined guidance, Shady Sands soon dominated the brahmin trade and eventually, the first states of the soon to be NCR emerged, slowly merging into a standalone political entity with help from the Brotherhood of Steel (which remained out of the power structure for the time being). This was something her father had been reluctant to do, despite the obvious advantages. Shady Sands would soon grow substantially as she opened trade routes with Junktown and the Hub. Tandi helped her father expand Shady Sands, laying the foundations for the New California Republic. As trade routes developed, so did the cultural exchange between towns. The village thrived, eventually becoming an economic power within New California. Īradesh and Tandi used this opportunity to develop the community. After the Vault Dweller slaughtered the Khans, the town of Shady Sands enjoyed a period of peace, as raiders gave it a wide berth. When she met the Vault Dweller at the age of 16, the brief meeting left a lasting impression on the young girl, further reinforced by her kidnapping and subsequent rescue from the Khans. She looked with disdain at the boredom that came with the steady work at Shady Sands. However, her father Aradesh was a cautious man and kept her close to him. From her early years, she displayed an uncommon strength of character and liveliness, complementing her good looks. 2 Interactions with the player characterīorn in 2145, Tandi was a cute, raven-haired girl with a winsome expression and a head full of dreams about traveling and adventures.
