Baja

Baja is the southernmost New Californian state, consisting of the former American state of Southern California, and the former Mexican states of Baja California and Baja California Sur.

It is the sparsest, least populated and least densely populated NCR State, mostly due to the lack of development in the area pre-war and post-war.

Post-War
Following the Great War, San Diego, Tijuana and surrounding areas were hit hard, pretty much reducing them to rubble.

After the citizens of Vault 18 emerged and founded the city of Dayglow, most survivors living in surrounding towns and villages immigrated into Dayglow, leaving only a few small towns in the area left.

Further south of Dayglow, citizens of the small towns were having big raider troubles, with many attempting to loot from the small towns, knowing that they did not have many defenses.

Statehood
After the NCR incorporated Dayglow into the Boneyard, many small towns further south began requesting NCR intervention.

Soon, the NCR began expanding south, sending Rangers into Baja.

As more and more small towns were put under the NCR flag, Dayglow and surrounding areas were put into the new Baja state.

Appearances
Baja appears in Fallout and Project Peru, but is mentioned in Fallout 2 and New Vegas.
