Maxson (state)

Maxson is mentioned as one of the five states of the New California Republic. Little else is said about it in any of the games, but its name likely comes from the founder of the Brotherhood of Steel, Roger Maxson. It may also be named after his son or grandson, who were High Elders after his death. Since there is evidence that the Brotherhood of Steel itself is not associated with the NCR, it can be assumed that it's probably a town built around or near the Brotherhood's Lost Hills bunker, with people living there under the Brotherhood's protection. It must have been built after 2161, since no such town could have existed during Fallout.

Appearances in games
The Maxson state does not appear in any of the Fallout games, but is mentioned in the NCR history holodisk in Fallout 2 and the Citadel archives in Fallout 3.
