| − | The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' was one of the thirteen commonwealths of the [[Great War|pre-War]] [[United States of America]]. Created in the mid 21st century, it was comprised of the former states of [[wikipedia:Utah|Utah]], [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]], [[wikipedia:Arizona|Arizona]] and [[wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]]. In [[2247]], the former state of Arizona served as the birthplace of [[Caesar's Legion]], a ruthless organization that quickly rose to dominate the majority of the Four States region. |

| − | ==Utah Wasteland== |
||
| − | As told by [[Randall Clark]], at the start of the war Salt Lake City suffered thirteen direct nuclear strikes. Clark survived by taking refuge in [[Zion National Park]]. He eventually returned to find the city "mostly craters and warped steel girders where the buildings were." Unable to find the remains of his family, he returned to Zion, a place where many sought shelter in the years following the War. |

||
| − | In 2062, many Mormon congregations came together to purchase places in [[Vault 70]], a [[Vault-Tec]] [[Vault]] in Salt Lake City. Vault 70 opened in 2190 and its residents use their three [[G.E.C.K.]]s to found the city of [[New Jerusalem]] in the ruins of Salt Lake City. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Most of the cities in Utah were destroyed in the [[Great War]] in [[2077]] and most of the state's current inhabitants are [[tribals]] (including the powerful [[Hecate]] of [[Ouroborus]] and the [[Blackfoot]] tribe). Burnham Springs, with its horrible mutants is also located within the former borders of Utah. |
||
| − | |||
| − | New Jerusalem's intolerant prophet and apostles repeatedly voted to remain isolated from outsiders, failed communities, refugees, and tribals. In 2233, a number of angry tribals, [[raiders]], and disassociated attackers ganged up on New Jerusalem, sacking it and killing most of the inhabitants in the process. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The new living prophet, [[Judah Black]], led most of the remnants of the [[Mormon]] community north to Ogden, Utah, where they established the settlement of [[New Canaan]]. |
||

||
| − | |||
| − | The balance of power in the state is not clear due to conflicting information. [[Caesar]] claims to control most of "The Utah," and both [[Dead Sea]] and [[Vulpes Inculta]] mention being from there. As both are in their thirties, it is clear that the Legion has maintained a presence there for some time. The extent to which they control the territory is not known, but many tribes throughout the state, such as the [[White Legs]] and the [[Dead Horses]], live in the shadow cast by the Legion's fearsome reputation. According to [[Jed Masterson]], the northern reaches of Utah are controlled by fierce raider groups like the [[80s]] that straddle the line between tribe and gang. |
||
| − | |||
| − | As of [[2281]], [[Zion Canyon]] remains independent, despite encroachments by [[White Legs|tribal]] agents of the Legion. The [[Grand Staircase]], another pre-War national park, also remains free, and is considered by [[Daniel (Honest Hearts)|Daniel]] as a possible evacuation site for the [[Sorrows]], should Zion fall to the White Legs. At some point in the first half of 2281, [[New Canaan]] was destroyed by the White Legs (aided by [[Ulysses]]), acting on Caesar's orders, in order to punish [[Joshua Graham]], Caesar's former Legate. The Mormons scattered to the winds with the White Legs in hot pursuit. |
||

| − | At some point before Fallout New Vegas the courier visited Utah, as is mentioned in comments regarding the current situation of area with Jed Masterson at the beginning of Honest hearts |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Arizona Wasteland== |
||
| − | Before the war, [[Mr. House]], [[RobCo]], and [[Vault-Tec]] created a [[PDQ-88b securitron]] [[Securitron vault|Vault]] under the future location of [[The Fort]]. After the war, Arizona was badly fragmented with each town fighting others just to survive. [[Raul Tejada]] recalls that it was so bad, you couldn't trade with a town two miles down the road without getting attacked. |
||
| − | |||
| − | That changed with the arrival of Caesar's Legion, formed near the [[Grand Canyon]] by two [[Followers of the Apocalypse]] and a [[Joshua Graham|Mormon missionary]]. [[Caesar|Edward Sallow]], one of the Followers, used his knowledge tactics, warfare, and history to lead the [[Blackfoot]] tribe to victory over their enemies. Between [[2246]] and [[2271]], the Legion grew rapidly, conquering nearly all of Arizona and establishing their capital in the ruins of [[Flagstaff]]. |
||
| − | The [[NCR]] holds very little territory in Arizona in 2281, limited to [[Bullhead City]] and the surrounding area. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==New Mexico Wasteland== |
||
| − | The New Mexico Wasteland also belongs, partially, to the [[Caesar's Legion|Legion]]. They had conquered the western half of the former state before encounters with the [[NCR]] turned [[Caesar]]'s attention westward. |
||
| − | |||
| − | {{VB}} |
||
| − | The ghoul settlement known as the [[Reservation]], built on the former site of the [[wikipedia:Los Alamos National Laboratory|Los Alamos National Laboratory]], is also located in New Mexico. |
||
| − | {{VB|end}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Colorado== |
||
| − | In [[2281]], the [[Caesar's Legion|Legion]] controls the southern portion of Colorado and captures many of its [[Legion mongrel|dogs]] on the streets of Denver, now known as [[Dog City]]. According to Legate [[Lanius]], the conquest of Denver was a Pyrrhic victory, owing to the harsh climate, overtaxed supply lines, and a lack of tribal stock to replenish their slave population. The brutal and costly campaign left a strong impression on Lanius and served to slow the Legion's expansion, at least for a time. The [[Brotherhood of Steel (Midwest)]] were also stretched out as far as Colorado, though the state of the Brotherhood (as hinted in fallout 3) and rise to power of the legion leaves a questionable approach to the current status of their power in the region. |
