On one hand, the hatred of communism is so deep-rooted in the 'muricans of fallout land that they might reject it completely, on the other it HAS been over a solid two centuries since the great war, so I suppose its entirely plausible that most folks wouldn't even know what communism is, and would lap up some sweet sweet socialism. 

The idea of a feudal faction sounds cool. Some kind of Kingdom, expanding out into the frozen wastes.

This sounds really interesting, actually. A feudal "kingdom" that has been quite established, with its own royalty and nobility over the past two-hundred years. (Shoot, we could even use the power-armor guys as actual "knights" for this little kingdom, with their own sense of honor and loyalty to "The Crown.")

Such a monarchy would certainly provide stability, and would be wholly unique. Plus, the idea of using power armor differently than simply the Enclave or the BoS seems interesting to me. (Not counting the Atom Cats, of course.)

With all the leftover hardware that surely would have been flowing through the area during the Sino-American War, this new kingdom in the North surely would have had access to a ridiculous amount of hardware and resources over the years, so establishing this kind of thing in a place like BC isn't too far-fetched.

Thus, when a new force of "invaders" arrives on the scene, this sets the stage to upset balance in numerous ways, and we could start playing the groups off of one another with our characters bouncing off them right in the middle.
