Nineteenth Coalition

The Nineteenth Coalition is a small de facto unitary state that operates out of Vault 19 in the Mojave Wasteland. The Nineteenth was founded soon after the departure of the Powder Gangers from Vault 19 into the Great Khans, and the independence of New Vegas was assured by the Courier. A small group of anarcho-communists from New Vegas fled to the Vault to escape persecution by a large number of residents in Freeside. Soon after the establishment of the Coalition, the settlement attracted others with the same values, and created a large enough gene pool for the Coalition to last nearly 19 centuries.

The Nineteenth Coalition exists only as a de facto association of anarcho-communists who live in mutual trust with one another to function as a protected and well preserved society. The Coalition has no leader or any form of governing body, instead the people are to accord with their unanimous approval of actions deemed "wrong". Because of this strong belief of maximized personal liberties, the nation is able to operate with only a small scale of outside interference, trading their sulfur for supplies, food, materials, etc.. There is no standardized economic system within the Coalition, as each member of society who preforms work can receive an equal share of the localized stockpile. The socioeconomic structure of the nation only exists in a de facto form, as the individuals in the Coalition respect their anarchist values of personal liberty. However, the communist conformity of this association is that all members of the society must be productive in order to be treated to personal liberties experienced by the mainstream residents. As a result, the nation enjoys a prosperous state of local interdependence, and only trades when it is in need of foreign supplies.

The Coalition enjoys well relations with neighboring societies, as they trade from time-to-time with the Great Khans for recreational drugs. The Coalition has remained independent from the political spectrum of the Mojave, and is somewhat isolated from the rest of the area around them. However major events, on a scale such as the 2nd Battle of Hoover Dam, still are intercepted by the Coalition. The nation also has four functioning radios, which they use primarily to listen to local news in the Mojave Wasteland.
