Vault City Northern California Travel Log
WARNING: If Vault Citizens find it necessary to travel outside of Vault City, they should keep the following list of items on their person:


 * 1) A supply of pre-packaged Vault City-issue rations. Never eat any food offered by an Outsider, as you introduce bacteria or radioactive particles into your system!
 * 2) A geiger counter. Always be certain to monitor ambient radiation levels wherever you travel!
 * 3) At least two stim-packs at all times. The slightest cut or nick could introduce harmful bacteria into your system!

Redding

 * Background radiation count: Current readings are unavailable.
 * Mutation rate: Unknown, believed low.

New Reno

 * New Reno: City southwest of Vault City. Trades gold ore for medical supplies from Vault City. Reno suffered little structural damage during the war (though looting and property damage have taken their toll), so many streets and buildings remain intact. Warning! There is no central government and no law  enforcement. Gambling, prostitution, and drug use  are rampant. Vault Citizens are warned to avoid New Reno at ALL costs!
 * Population: No current census, but believed to be several thousand..."people."

New California Republic

 * New California Republic: The territories of NCR are located far to the south of Vault City. Trades mechanical equipment, gold, and various surplus products in exchange for Vault City medical technology. NCR has recently stepped up efforts to absorb Vault City as a border territory, so Vault Citizens should exercise extreme caution when traveling to NCR.

Broken Hills

 * Broken Hills: A mining community to the south of Vault City that mines uranium ore. The ore is traded to Vault City in exchange for medical supplies, mostly RadX and RadAway.

Due to the nature of the inhabitants and the high probability of contamination, Vault Citizens should avoid Broken Hills at ALL costs!
 * Population: No current census, but believed to be in the hundreds of residents.

 * Mutation rate: Believed high. Broken Hills most likely has a high rate of degenerative mutations.
