You have a Corrupt Governing State (California har har) stretching out it's Military So thin it can't control it's own borders.
In the East you have a vast Army of Slaves based a around a Cult of Personality who ISN'T into playing namby pamby diplomacy games.
You have Drugged Up Fiends terrorizing any portion of the land that isn't directly guarded by the Soldiers of the N.C.R.
Corrupt Businessmen enforcing their own rules on the population with the aid of Ruling Uniparty Families.
And a Media which is either a Robot or Madmen spouting Non-Sense.
ISIS = The Legion
And to expand to F3, we must include Confessor Cromwill, whi is some mix of Obama Spokesmentality and John Kerry/Hillary on a dogma bender
