Northern Mexico Along the Mojave

Northern Mexico consists mostly of small agrarian settlements in loose economic contact with one another. Aside from some intermittent raider problems, the region is mostly stable and contains some noteworthy cities such as Puerto Peñasco and Nogales, and participated in trade with the NCR-controlled Baja peninsula before the NCR collapsed, and afterwards resumes when the Brotherhood of Steel Protectorate expands there. The Resistance is centered in Northern Mexico, being home to displaced but permanent Navajo, Apache, and Paiute settlements, which expand back into their ancestral lands once the Legion collapses. Thanks to their efforts, the Legion never found success expanding southwards, helping to keep the region stable and safe, and when Western expansion threatens the region once again, they help keep it secure and independent.

Overview (up to 2307)
To the south, without the threat of Legion encroachment and with the reclamation of lost lands, the Navajo, Apache, and Paiute peoples reform their own nations, in addition to existing Mexican settlements which are now increasingly interlinked as the region further stabilizes. The Resistance continues, helping pick apart the splintering Legion and helping refugees to safety in Mexico, settling them as well as helping to organize efforts to preserve tribal cultures that were threatened or near-destroyed by the Legion. This leads to the creation of new, small tribal communities, focused on locating as many of their kin as possible and recording and propagating their lost cultures in as organized and peaceful a manner as can be. Through the Resistance, a de-centralized council is created to make a coherent and reliable communication network to help each independent settlement cooperate and prosper with one another, and if necessary, to help negotiate the rare conflicts that occur. Overall the region is stable and self-sufficient, with a few important trade routes passing up from further south in Mexico, and in from Baja California in the west, which was relatively spared compared to the rest of NCR land when the nukes fell.
