I have made corrections to the original and on the water they pull water from deep water basins or natural occurrence of water production such as snow from the sierra Nevada range if it is not radioactive or from lakes that are non radioactive.
Terrain: Republic of California territory is broken into two areas the northern and southern half containing a large mixture of terrain and geographical features all across the Area. large and small cities through out the territory are mostly destroyed or abandoned in favor of scattered settlements around forts located throughout the outlaying territory.Grimm and Evos still live in the territory but are kept away from human settlements by the Military and avoid destroyed metropolis. Natural and man made rivers and lake are scattered through out the territory and heavily guarded or watched, well the coast is sparsely populated with small fisherman settlements.
The northern half contains San Joaquin valley which contains a large area of usable farmland that is not irradiated, but also swathes of farmland that has been reduced to miniature contaminated wastelands from poisoning and radiation. Containing the snow capped mountains of the Sierra Nevada's with a mixture of rolling hills and high peaks and large forest of giant sequoia trees that have slowly expanded with no human involvement.With coastal range of rolling hills pockmarked with valleys and pockets of farmland and forest of redwood trees. This Area receives cooler temperatures and more rain from the climate change of the collapse.
The Southern half the R.O.C contains the Mojave and Colorado desert which have become inhabitable by most humans due to the temperature rise as a side effect, Edwards Air force base and a handful of settlements exist within the desert well fortresses of stone and scrap or abandoned police stations along the border for security. The large Urban sprawl along the south west coast, from Santa Monica to San Diego are largely destroyed and irradiated and surrounded by a large continuous wall containing a large numbers of grim and ferals within the area well fortresses are spread along the Wall. Multiple small forts and settlements pockmark the mountainous terrain within the southern half of the R.O.C.
Government Type: Republic of California modeled their government after the original government that controlled California before the collapse. Broken up into three branches Executive, legislative,and judicial. The Capital Contains all government headquarters and State Assembly. Militarism is always constant with in the R.O.C regarding government decisions due to a constant state of war fighting raider,feral mutants, and Grimm.

Population: 4.3 Million
Attitude Towards Evols: Neutral, but unable to run for political offices Economic System: Economic interventionism
Resources: Republic of California's has a large amount of water that is naturally produced due to the drop of citizens due to collapse. They have massive amounts of Acres dedicated to Agriculture and Dairy's. Mines withdrawal Gold and coal they drawl from the earth and limited oil from small reserves.
Currency: Republic Dollar- Each bill is backed by gold within the reserve.
Technology: They are slowly advancing in their technology after recovering from the Collapse using simple technology such as Steam engine trains and telegraphs. constructed primarily of tents and sandbags or building off of ruins. They rely heavily on wind using windmills at farms, they have multiple wind turbine farms that are slowly falling to states disrepair due no new part the know how to repair them. From energy provided be the wind turbine farms it barely provide enough energy to power lights within the capital and power the telegraph network.Horses already abundant are used along with wagons for transport.
Official Religion: The Republic of California believes in the right of free relgion as long as it dose not promote violence. Religious Information:Believers of religions all around the world can be found within the ROC as their the belief of freedom of religion is in their constitution.
History: Rising from the ashes of the collapse Californians we thrown into a shock as they tried to adjust to the new environment which was a slow process as they had to relearn how to do things in times of old and survive in these new times with shortages of food or death by new predators. Farmers prospered as they feeding the hungry well small populaces settled around the farms as cities became hunting grounds for bandits and Grimm. Militias were formed at first to defend these new found settlements using makeshift weapons and few fire arms and it ended in disaster. They pleaded with the self proclaimed government the Republic of California for aid. Shocking citizens as soldiers in the California national guard rode in on horseback under the new republic of California flags shocked them. The Combat with bandits was fast furious and bloody as local bandits were rapidly dealt with,but results were clear as they had killed or chased off the bandits. Build up of Grimm was a constant Issue the first large scale engagement with them was planned at the former city of Fresno, a call was sent to militia's to help in and serve as a reserve. The 1st Infantry"Grizzly" Regiment with supported by Calvary scouts and artillery and even a few evos in their ranks and militias standing by watching. After hours of combat and casualties they won the day as they already prepared to march into the city and clear it out.
Becoming know for the victories and the new capital of California that was created from the ruins of Fresno named new Sacramento people flocked to the chance of hope and defense if they joined paying taxes producing revenue to gather more troops. spending the last five decades growing in rapid expansion they declared the south west coast as irradiated and inhabitable and erected a huge wall and forts to defend it from feral s and Grimm from breaking loose after multiple losses within the cities. Expanding to the former us Mexico border and into the desert were food was scare supplies and water from the San Joaquin valley were a god send as the ROC Grew and absorbed more settlements.
Culture: Cultural diversity was all over the California before the collapse and remained after and as more unified the peoples of the Republic of California. Militarism is rife in the populous as they are constantly fighting new enemy at their borders or fighting through ruins of former cities. They usually are calm and collected and professional at all times from military veterans and wounded veteran are always flowing into the populace guiding them and teaching the next generation.
Military Numbers: 104,000 Professional 20,000 Militia/Reservist Military Units: Built from the former California National guard and reservist in the San Joaquin valley they kept the modern uniforms and organization.Supplied from national guard armories and what they could scavenge from national guard armories and bases for what ever they could building their ranks and filling their supplies.After fifty years of war with bandits and Grimm artillery munitions are all exhausted and replaced with old cannons,grenades and explosive are low and rarely used.They only have a four armored Humvee's armed with M2 browning or M240 machine guns that guard the capital. The common rifle among the ROC is the home brewed M1 Republic California bolt action rifle based on the M1903 Springfield rifle Troops
Guardsmen-The standard light infantry of republic of California modeled after the U.S. Army infantry they are equipped with M1 RC rifles. Replacing Kevlar being lost over time and no way to replace it they have only field caps or a few have located the WW2 era steel pot helmet,their plate carrier lost with time they replaced it with a steel plate attached on their webbing.
Calvary Scout-The Cavalry Scout is a reconnaissance specialist in the ROC Army. Cavalry Scouts work to obtain, distribute, and share vital combat and battlefield information. Using horses to move faster than infantry and outflank enemy. They usually wear the normal uniform and a field cap and webbing armed with a Cut down M1 RC Rifle or hunting rifle
Designated Marksmen- They reach out farther then the infantry utilizing the M-14 or civilian hunting rifles with a simple hunting scope they can engage farther out. The wear the same gear as infantry. The Interior guard- Consist of the last remnants of modern equipment they only have a platoon worth of soldiers that guard the capital with optics and grenades they contain the four Humvee's that work.They are not allowed to leave the capital except to send a couple to escort the governor.

RGM-89De Jegan [ECOAS Type] near fleet Bringing his shield into place protecting his Jegan's vital torso and head as it absorbed beam machine gun rounds as a lucky shot pierced shield and hit sent an electrical shock through the shield prematurely firing off all four missiles at space until they hit their max range and detonated in space. Throwing away his shield was surprised to see the Zaku closing not knowing if it was Zeal or panic from it's pilot. He brought a two handed grip on the beam saber and parried the first swing. bringing up a leg he knocked away the Zaku as opened up space between the two activating his throttle he followed the Zaku as second swing from the zaku was narrowly avoided as it boiled paint on the Jegan. Bringing his beam saber through the Zaku's arm separating it at the elbow joint from the mobile suit.
Tanaka was surprised as he was rammed by the Zaku but it wore off quickly as he used his thrust er to separate from the Zaku he brought the beam saber through it's hull straight into the Zaku's cockpit. He kicked off from the Zaku as blue electrical arcs raced across it before it exploded launched the jegan way as paint was burned off from the explosion as he got clear.
RGM-89De Jegan [ECOAS Type] near fleet Looking at the vastness of space and asteroids ahead Tanaka saw flashes and trails of light as unidentified objects were moving within the asteroid cluster. Depressing a switch alongside the right side of his cockpit lowering the specially equipped Visor over the normal visor equipped on the head of the Jegan boosting it sensors and search and detection sensors. Alarms chirped as a set of yellow cross hairs moved tracking a rapidly approaching Zaku. " Zero-Three we got a unknown number of mobile suits moving within the cluster , one moving fast on the fleet." Said Tanaka as he lowered the Visor on his helmet making his suit air tight. "Zero-Four and Zero- seven are on your six."announced a young pilot new to ECOAS barely capable of congaing his excitement as another ECOAS Jegan and a Stark jegan joined him well other jegans we deploying to defend the fleet." Zero-Four and seven follow me in a wedge, watch my back I will take care of this guy rushing to kill himself." Said Tanaka as he activated the thrust and brought his thrust nozzles to life as he propelled forward.
Closing the formation opened up as the following pair slowed and Tanaka's Jegan continued accelerating bringing up it's beam rifle as lock on tones activated and the cross hairs tracking the closing Zaku turned red. Three pink particle beams launched from the beam rifle in rapid succession well their was range between them,just in case it released it's beam rife and launched it's beam saber from the hip recharging rack on the right hip and clasped a hand around it and activated the beam saber as a pink blade erupted from the cylindrical device.
Clop Class Cruiser "Melbourne" In Transit to Mortem Asteroid Cluster U.C. 098 Tanaka could feel the tension in the room between the ECOAS and Colonial pilots and it was normal for when they dealt with regular forces. He gave a final glance at his notepad before jamming it into one of his suits pockets,grabbing his helmet as the briefing finished he rose and headed out the door exchanging a quick joke with a buddy that was new on the team. Marching towards the hangers as a group laughing and joking the whole way. Tanaka Snapped on his helmet and kept the visor up as he entered the low gravity area transiting to the hanger, clasping onto a handle set into a he was pulled forward toward the airlock leading into the hanger. Doors slid open and Tanaka tanaka released his grip as momentum kept him floating forward through the expansive hanger with mobile suits lining each side. His customized Jegan stood in ready to launch mechanics stood idly on a cat walk well pilots moved to their mobile suits.
Tanaka dropped into his cockpit and began running through the start up procedure of his customized Jegan and information scrolled lightning fast up his monitors the alarm broadcast came on altering everyone of incoming mobile suits from the asteroid cluster. Darkness filled his cockpit as the main hatch closed it was rapidly was filling with light as consoles came on line then the monitors displayed images from the mobile suits cameras. "This is Stalker zero-three emergency launch, moving to catapult now." He said as he manipulated the controls as his jegan grabbed it's shield and beam rifle and slowly plodded towards the catapult. "Stalker zero-three you are clear to launch."Replied the female launch system operator." Steeping onto the launch platform that latched onto the Mobile suits feet and shut the air tight doors to the hanger automatically. "Zero-Three launching!"Roared Tanaka as blast doors flew open and his mobile suit was propelled forward then released into space a momentum carried it clear of the ship before maneuvering systems steadied it in position.
Clop Class Cruiser "Melbourne" In Transit to Mortem Asteroid Cluster U.C. 098 "Sensors aboard one of are scout satellite have detected fading signs of a build up of Minovsky Particles within the Mortem asteroid cluster this may be the lead we need to find these Aspis terrorist."Announced Lieutenant Colonel Armsten of ECOAS 840 special forces team a grizzled veteran from the one year war, with salt and pepper hair and leathery skin pocked marked with scars from burns. Pulling a unlit cigar from his breast pocket and jamming it between his teeth to relieve stress, he adjusted back and fourth with his teeth until it sat comfortably." This is the only lead we have on the Aspis and we will move to investigate it, after the crew searched through the database the only information they could find about the cluster is fragmented and we are not one hundred percent sure is true." He brought up a still of the Asteroid cluster on the conference display in the briefing room. "It referred to a Zeon weapon in the one year war called the Medusa stone thought to of been destroyed, we can speculate that if the Aspis is in there that they are seeking this weapon. "We will be moving to investigate the area for this weapon and any signs of Aspis so be ready for anything in there , We will be supported by the colonial guard on this operation for support." He said looking to the briefing room full of ECOAS operators and EFNG Soldiers filling it, operators gave a grumble of acknowledgement and they looked to their brethren from the national guard with annoyance. "The NG's will give any information they need to pass on then be ready to launch in thirty.
Lieutenant Tanaka looked to the attending personnel at the briefing feeling slightly annoyed to be working with the untested colonial guard soldiers. He ran a hand through his black hair and tapped his foot lightly as he jotted down notes into a small note pad well he watched Armsten offer his information to all the mobile suit pilots watching them. Joy came to him for a split second as he thought of wiping out Aspis to their last man. Pulling his attention back as the briefing was being handed over to national guard CO not taking a word the man would utter as serious since he knew he shared the same mentality of superiority as the entire ECOAS team compared to these F.N.G.S
