I designed her as a foil to Mr House. They're both robotics geniuses ruling over their own state, but House is an old man with an economy based on services, who's quite isolationist and desires to rule as an autocrat. May is a young woman with an economy based on goods, who is expansionist and wants to rule quietly, from the shadows.

Okay, my birthday weekend is over. I will totally finish my sheet asap.

I hope this explains my problem in that the narrative focuses too much on one character, rather than a state.

• The mercenaries, and the captains/leaders thereof, which she would have to pay what I imagine are exponentially-rising costs to maintain and enforce her bidding in the region.
• Every manager of each branch she operates in - Including robotics, caravaneering, water, agriculture, salvage, guns, and all of these other branches - all of whom would want payment in accord.
• Trying to outright assassinate or just off any one of them would inevitably result in nepotistic feuds for May's favor, and also a constant shortage of leadership, knowledge, and experience, as the position is put through a blending glass door.
• This same liquidation also would very quickly paint a target on the back of the company as a whole, which in turn would divide its mid-level leadership along pro and anti-May lines.

That's some really helpful advice, thank you!

I envisioned them being in tatters, but I'm not 100% stuck to that.

I don't think it's out of the picture for them to be on their last legs by the end of Fallout 3. With the BoS' expansion and the Lone Wanderer doing a number on them, I could see it being a case to where they'd be firmly on their back heel...or successfully integrated into the BoS.

I was gonna leave it up to the final verdict of @Crusader Lord, since they'd have the most control over that area as it stands.

@Andreyich I believe @Yam I Am has done it. Also, @FalloutJack Something to keep in mind is that the Iroquois Confederacy, where the Grand Confederacy draws a lot from, has a lot of pre-war tribal ties to the Cherokees, who live in the areas your Enclave now inhabit. If you mistreat the local tribals, the Confederacy will be pissed. If you don't, the confederacy will merely be extremley concerned at having the government come back to mistreat them all over again.

Havent seen it

Ok Doki folks, I'm joining with a heavily first-nations infused group in direct conflict with Ronto and to a lesser extent the Consortium in Minnesota/Wisconscin/Ontario. Sheet's up in just a moment.
