[[MultipleEndings And you get to choose who wins.]]
** Caesar\\\'s Legion is as conservative as all hell. Harm their subjects and they will crucify you. NotHyperbole. Cass outright states that while she refuses to deal with slavers like the Legion, \\\'\\\'a lot\\\'\\\' of traders work with the Legion because they\\\'re ensured safety. Even the Fiends are too scared of the Legion to attack caravans under their protection. His methods are harsh, brutal, and more than a little evil, but they\\\'ve unified Arizona and made it a safe place to live. Even Raul admits that Caesar transformed Arizona into a much better place than it was before. The common people in the Legion\\\'s territories might not have any influence or say whatsoever in Caesar\\\'s politics, but it is really not that different from life before the Legion, and in exchange for their servitude, they are given a modest supply of food, water, and electricity, and are left pretty much to their own devices. Should they, however, in any way disturb the operation of the Legion or disobey requests and orders given its men, no matter how harsh or outlandish, they will be punished severely. The Legion will only ask \\\'\\\'once\\\'\\\', and they won\\\'t take \\\"no\\\" for an answer. On top of all that, he [[EnforcedTechnologyLevels bans all technology save guns]], but [[spoiler:keeps an Auto-Doc for his own personal use, and comments that access to such technology is a privilege for distinguished and high-ranking members of his army]]. As per Conservative economic policy, their currency is the strongest in the Mojave: a single Legion gold coin is worth 100 bottle caps.
** The NCR is high-grade liberal. They are the only (known) functional post-war democratic government, and in many cases, they greatly improve the standards of living for the common people living in their territory though building infrastructure and introducing social welfare programs using tax payer money. However, they have elements of Liberal strawmen. Their foreign policy is a good example of Liberal Idealism in that they believe in \\\'spreading democracy\\\' to foreign lands. Political corruption is high, as organizations with political connections such as [[spoiler:the Van Graffs and the Crimson Caravan]] are running (sometimes even \\\'\\\'gunning\\\'\\\') smaller competitors out of business. This (and the Brotherhood of Steel destroying their gold mines) results in their currency being the weakest in the Mojave: five NCR dollars equals only \\\'\\\'two\\\'\\\' bottle caps.
** Mr. House, a (ironically) Chinese-style Authoritarian Capitalist, is unquestioningly a hard-core statist. He provides stability, security, and wealth and generally doesn\\\'t demand personal worship. As long as you play by all his rules, he will offer you a relatively comfortable and safe life surrounded by pre-war glory. However, he will not hesitate or show any mercy in eliminating any potential political opposition against his rule.
** As for libertarians and objectivist anarchists, they get the Wild Card ending. You can waltz into New Vegas, talk to Yes Man, and decide that all the jerks fighting over the place desperately need to be taken down a peg. Then you can depose Mr. House, brutalize Caesar\\\'s Legion, and sucker the NCR. Then you can unleash an army of Securitrons upon the Mojave, turning it into [[{{Utopia}} a paradise of freedom and wealth]], [[TheThermidor rule in House\\\'s place]], or [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized turn the Mojave into a lawless hellhole]], depending on your actions up to the ending.
