The city’s overall technology is probably closer to the old US Empire of the 1970’s and 80's but less reliance on fossil fuels (although there are some coal mining pits to the southwest and natural gas fields to the south and east). They can replace the machine parts of most tech of this present level, including car parts and older aircraft.

The city government is something like a city-state republic, with an elected Lord-Mayor and city council (12 members). All serve six year terms. While these elections are open to any New Vegas citizen, most are part of the city’s oligarchy (local merchants). The city has fairly light laws and people have few restricts put on them by the council. This does not mean anarchy of course and murder, rape, slavery, robbery, assault and even certain drugs use are all outlawed. Punishment for such is generally hard labor and/or exile from the city. Execution are rare but are the penalties reserved for rape and murder and slavery.

The city maintains a local law enforcement force of 500 souls. This police force is fairly well received and respected by the local population but there is of course a strong illegal underground criminal element. These officers are armed mostly with pistols and shotguns along with a few wearing some sort of armor. They maintain a small motor pool with the rest of patrols being conducted on foot or with riding animals or even Uplifted horses and rider teams. There is also a standard city army of 400 professional soldiers who are better equipped and trained for military action. They have a few light armored transports and propeller aircraft and at least one helicopter and conduct patrols outside the city (especially to the north). The city also enlists a local militia of 2,500 members whom train in different groups of 100 at least four days every month. They are provide firearms by the city and keep these weapons at their homes but ammunition is given out sparingly and the militia are excepted to purchase extra on their own with their monthly stipend.
