Nova Roma (Fallout Alternate History)

Nova Roma is the name Caesar bestowed upon the city of Las Vegas when his Legion conquered it in 2277. Las Vegas came out of the Great War relatively unscathed due to the efforts of Robert Edwin House, the head of RobCo who invested heavily in defenses to counteract the inevitable war with China. Unfortunately for him, his underdeveloped software was corrupted and destroyed his life support systems. In the decades that followed, as society degenerated into bands of raiders, tribals and scavengers looking to survive, Vegas became a symbol of power to those in the Mojave Wasteland; whomever controlled Vegas, controlled the only known area uncorrupted by the war. As such, it was fought over by many peoples, until the region was finally pacified by Caesar's Legion.

Nova Roma's greatest landmark is the Imperial Palace, which was the old Lucky 38 Casino, that towers over the city and can be seen from miles upon miles away. This acts as the official seat of power of the Magnus Imperium.

Most districts of the city have had walls of varying degrees of quality, ranging from concrete topped with barbed wire to train cars and neon signs, erected around them to keep out wasteland creatures and raiders, from the South Vegas ruins to North Vegas Square. A vast network of sewers, some of which are inhabited by humans and other creatures, exist underneath the city.
