	The very two-sided metropolis of the Mojave and subdivided into two main factions, the Families under the leadership of Robert House, an obscenely wealthy and ambitious Industrialist from the Pre-War years who survived the Great War thanks to his advanced life support systems and the various factions of outer Vegas, of whom the biggest is Freeside under the leadership of The King and the group of gangers of the same name, a rag-tag assortment of folks all cosplaying as Elvis Prestley. Mr. House holds an iron first over the wealth and technology of the Las Vegas Strip that he with the help of his advanced Robot Army built to be an unconquerable fortress. His aims for the Mojave is to "civilize" it, by which he means using the major power advantage his robot army gives him to enforce a free-trade zone independent from the rest of the Wastelanders. Being a true Ayn-Rand-style libertarian anarcho-capitalist with a serious god-complex, he usually views any kind of moral objection one might have to his egotistical dreams as a lack of vision. This brings with it its own buttload of problems, mainly that the people he "civilized" (The Families) self-admittedly didn't really agree to it in the first place and by the time of New Vegas tried to undermine Houses authority for very understandable reasons. The Families themselves, which House dubs his employees, are the former members of three wastelander tribes House basically forced at gunpoint to populate the Las Vegas strip some years prior are the Omertas, who were Slavers and Pimps who just continued their business under House, the White Glove Society, a bunch of cannibals whose tendencies and cultural habits turned out to be really hard to overcome, and the Chairmen, that were a band of marauding, drug-fueled raiders. The Kings that control most of outer Vegas (called Freeside) are a gang of Elvis Presley cosplayers whose boss once found a building that housed a school for Elvis Presley impersonators in the Rubble of Vegas and assumed that, in order to be so famous that other people wanted to be you, you must have been some sort of divine being and he subsequently assumed the style, music and even accent of the real deal for himself and his gang in a truly bizarre cargo cult. The Kings are both opposed to Mr. House, whom they view as the same sort of oppressive slaver as Caesar and the NCR, who step on their turf under Houses protection, much to their chagrin.

	Most people die when they take too much rads. You won the genetic lottery by becoming a living zombie, your body now a cancer that's nourished by radiation. On the plus side, you're immortal, but your mind will eventually decay (also made quicker by radiation). People will also treat you like absolute shit, and [[Brotherhood of Steel\|some people may even shoot you on sight]].		Most people die when they take too much rads.

On the one hand, there's a ''lot'' of messed up shit in Fallout - for example, Robobrains, a robot that looks like a [[Brain in a Jar]] on a mechanical cylinder with tank treads and cybernetic tentacles, were largely made up of political prisoners whose living brains were extracted and jammed in crude battle-droids to be used as expendable cannon fodder. On the other hand, you can encounter all manner of silly pop culture references, up to and including nearly crossing paths with [[Doctor Who]].

	Not helping matters (at least in the States) is that the pre-war underground-bunker living Vault Dwellers, intended as the best hope for repopulating the world, are either woefully unprepared for this hellscape or are just as messed up as everyone else. See, the Vaults were nominally only partly intended as fallout shelters. Their creators often added unusual conditions as experiments (nominally for testing conditions for space colonisation but occasionally for shits and giggles) ranging from quirky (like only giving glove puppets as entertainment) or downright fucking messed up (like gradually dosing the vault dwellers with hallucinogens and rage amplifiers over time). Some vaults have remained isolated till the present day, whilst others have opened themselves or been forced into over the years. Naturally, most games have you starting as a Vault Dweller, although usually from a vault with fairly benign (or at least less directly hostile, see Vault 101 where the experiment was to keep people locked up until Civil War broke out) test conditions.

	Don't let the badass deathmetal name fool you, these guys are actually a bunch of nerds. If the Brotherhood is a bunch of tech hoarding soldiers, the Followers are their polar opposite, a group of [[SJW\|pacifist ~~Librarians~~]] who seek to aid and educate the people of the Wastes. They have played an important role in the history West Coast and were the people responsible for educating the NCR, but due to the NCR's expansionism being at odds with the Followers goal of not repeating the same mistakes of the past (and encouraging self-determination over imperialism), the two factions have officially cut all ties with each other. Even though they're pacifists, don't expect them to just sit down and take it: they just leave the fighting to people who're good at it. Also, you have to give them props for surviving this long in the Wasteland, these guys got their start in the ruins of the LA Public Library back when Fallout was just an ~~Anarchic~~ Mad Max simulator, and not a 50s music radio station, so they not only survived the lawless gang warfare of the LA Boneyard pre-NCR, but played a role in beating the Master and establishing the Wasteland's only true democracy. Also, Caesar was raised a Follower, though he was never a really good one.		Don't let the badass deathmetal name fool you, these guys are actually a bunch of nerds.
