Might be worth looking into creating a syrup, as soft drink market is big and supply is gonna run out at somepoint as no one else is making it anymore

Honestly, part of me thinks that Vault 28 has the capacity to produce more Nuka-Cola and other soft drinks. It's been shown repeatedly that working vaults have a very big supply of Nuka-Cola, especially in stuff like the show and Fallout 4. I call Bullshit on Vault-Tec having stored enough Coca-Cola to last more than 200 years cause with 1000 people and the very liberal Coca-Cola usage, you'd probably need multiple Costcos just filled with Nuka-Cola.

Several fallout games canonically give you the ability to reproduce nuka cola out of crap you find in the wasteland, so it should be entirely possible for us to do it as well, although most likely Sugarland will have a comparative advantage to us in the sugar drinks department due to, well, all the sugar.
 
We still need to make that hosital but since the progress bar is so high maybe we can make a joint project with Hunter's Creek?

After all the guys do trade medical stuff and have auto-docs and could be a good way for them to interact more with the rest of the Wasteland.
 
Next turn we should keep doing the food options until we have done them all, as food i think would be a great income source as our allies have a big pop, so they would be buy all the food we can make

Sulfur Mines is also something we must get done, as sulfur is very usefully in a lot of goods that the League would benefit from

I think hospital may be more important to do the hospital since Bellville is one of the Republic's oldest allies and is being quite a while they approach us for this project and will look quite ignoring this for so long.

[] Joint Cooperation DC 50: Hunter's Creek
-[] Write-in: Bellville Medical Restoration

Now Hunter's Creek not only have quite a stock of auto docs but have personally trained in how to use them plus the hospital would also have one or two auto-docs and this could be useful to make them interact more with the Wasteland plus it would give Bellville also another possible ally in the Wasteland so it would not be that dependent on us.

Edit:
[] Joint Cooperation DC 50: Sugar Land
-[] Write-in: Radioactive Real Estate

Radioactive Real Estate could also be something that Sugar Land may be interested after all they probably would be interesting in establish business in Buchaven who knows what kind of goods are there plus they may even try to test how they rad-sugar would fare in such radioactive region.

The Election of 2126 Analysis​

The election of 2126 would be seen in many ways as one of the most consequential elections to analyze within the Texas republic. The election of 2121 occurred only a year after the Vault election of 2120, and so the only thing it confirmed is that the wastelanders immediately surrounding the vault were broadly satisfied with their new leadership. The 5 years between them had given room for some proper political thinking to develop within the Republic, and so the true test of its democratic ability would come from this, surpassed only by the first election to occur without President Christopher Neil running.

Whatever test the gods of democracy deigned to send down Texas's way would seemingly be passed, with President Neil winning a sizeable but not absurd majority, and the other candidates getting plenty of opportunity to advocate for their views without restrictions. And it is here that the most interesting findings of the election can be found. Although many candidates seemingly ran just to get their names more known among the population, or to advocate for a particular pet issue of theirs they felt wasn't getting enough attention, there were certain commonalities among them, patterns that exposed a divide slowly but surely growing at the heart of Texan society.

Much like how the final vault election of 2020 could be divided between the "optimists" and "pessimists", the opposition to President Neil's re-election could be broadly divided into old world and new world blocs, referred to here for ease of writing as restorationists and adaptationists. The restorationists, whose champion was Engineer Agnez Farstrum, leaned older and had a disproportionate percentage of vault dwellers as its voters. Its ideology was one of caution, advocating for slow expansion and a defensive approach to dealing with the threats to the wasteland. It was also strongly technocratic, advocating for large-scale investment into the recovery of scientific knowledge before it was lost to time. This mix of caution and aggressive discovery might seem strange, but in the minds of its theorists it made perfect sense, as the politics behind it, and much of the appeal of its flagship candidate Farstrum, was motivated by a simple but deeply compelling psychological phenomenon some have taken to calling Old World Blues. A form of intense nostalgia for the pre-war world that often occupied the minds of some, it has sometimes been unfairly stereotyped as a form of madness, despite being the motivation behind many of the projects that greatly improved the lives of the wasteland's inhabitants. While the people of the vault from which the Republic of Texas originated held great distaste for the pre-war US government, that did not prevent people from missing old technological conveniences that they used to have, or their children from fantasizing about having access to the same. Time also dulls even the most fierce hatred, and over time parts of the old world, as well as pre-emergence vault life became romanticized as a time of decency and friendly neighbors, while for others who did not come from the vault, the nostalgia for the old america was much more direct. In a world where news of raider attacks and rumors of cannibal warlords travelled like the wind from every direction, such nostalgia was perhaps not unfounded, even if those vault dwellers with sharper memories tried their best to fight it. In this sense, Agnez Farstrum can perhaps be seen as tapping into the same kind of psychological dynamic that dominates Rosenberg, and although no one wants to admit it, Texans are not immune to such things, and indeed it was perhaps inevitable that such a thing would develop considering how much of its national identity has been resurrected from the past.

On the other side of the political spectrum stand the adaptationists. Dominated not by a particular personality this election but divided between multiple candidates, and trending much younger then the voter base of Agnez, this tendency is one that seemingly has every desire to abandon the past entirely. Taking a fairly libertine, decentralized stance on issues of culture and political organization, in favor of few restrictions on personal freedom and the ability for individual communities to make more decisions without requiring consultation with the national government, this political tendency seemingly "accepted the reality" of the wasteland much more then the nostalgic restorationists who desired strong centralized control. The adaptationists were not anti-intellectual by any means, but tended to prefer the Republic's science budget went towards more "practical" projects, rather then pre-war high technology. It was also not a coincidence that among the adaptationist candidates, most of them were explorers of some variety. Whereas the restorationists saw the outside world, particularly outside the core Dallas area, with caution, the adaptationists tapped into a vein of unbridled curiosity among some Texans, a desire to see what lay beyond the horizon, and if possible bring its riches and pleasures back to the Republic. Naturally, those voters that desired rapid expansionism would also gravitate towards this end of Texas politics, and between this and their preference for decentralized politics and economy, a sizeable chunk of the adaptationist vote would come from the various homesteaders that were slowly spreading out across Texas territory and the ever-growing population of adventurers and salvagers that swept over the ruins both within and without Republic territory. In this, the adaptationist vision of Texas as a nation of independent self-reliant explorers was ironically much closer to the romantic vision of ancient Texas then that of the preservationists, but such were the contradictions of Texas politics.

While before Texas was more or less ideologically united, with arguments happening mostly over pragmatic issues of how to achieve the same objectives everyone agreed on, this divergence would prove to be the first time the young Republic had to grapple with genuinely different visions of the very nature of Texan society. Texas had passed its first test of its democracy with a peaceful and fair election, and as part of this, the seeds of future ideological divergence had been sown. Only time will tell what forms these seeds would blossom into.

Here is my promised writeup on 2126 and potential new ideologies that are developing in Texas. Let me know yall thoughts or if there's an issue.
