Dave (Fallout 3)

Dave is the self-proclaimed President of the Almighty Republic of Dave, a small farmstead on the far north-east edge of the Capital Wasteland.

Background
Dave was born in 2230.

History
After a coup d'état against his father in which Dave took The Kingdom of Tom for himself, renamed it, and gave his citizens the "freedom of democracy" instead of dictatorship, the republic of Dave was born. However, the quality of the democracy put into effect is debatable, seeing as hows no one ever runs in the elections except Dave, and thus the differences between his Republic and his father's Kingdom are skin deep.

For example, Dave re-wrote the Marital laws shortly after seizing control, in order to get himself a second wife (the excuse to his first wife was that "he needed to populate the land of Dave so they could grow and soon own all of the Capital Wasteland.")

Despite the obvious power he holds, the country is still technically a democracy and when the time comes for an election, you can vote for Dave, (after paying the 250 caps immigration fee), encourage his first wife Rosie or his son Bob to run against him. You can also tamper with the ballot box to make it possible for someone other than Dave to win.

Dave was one of the mercenaries hired by Allistair Tenpenny to recover a secret weapon from Fort Constantine in "You Gotta Shoot 'Em In the Head" quest.
