Although no nukes landed near Hawthorne, the fallout forced those who survived into the formerly naval ammunition depot, where hundreds lived, survived, expanded in the sandy underground.
Thanks to the strategic location, of right next to Walker Lake and Mount Grant, the survivors and their ancestors, who passed down their skills in warfare, engineering and what else, with the aid of a scout mission to the local library were able to prosper, being fed by the lake and the irrigation that came from it.
After a brief period of violence and famine in the Early Nuclear Era, a republic was formed under north ye motto of “For the People, by the People.”
In this system, a Captain-Colonel-President would be elected every 4 years, and once elected the leader would inherit the military position of the original leader and head of the guard. They likely have Vice-Lieutenants under them.
Alongside the executive is the legislature which is divided into a higher and lower chamber. The higher is the Council of Officers, which must approve any decisions, under them is the Assembly of the People, which all citizens over 18 are part of. They can make proposals or oppose an act if a petition gathers 70 signatures, impeachment by of a government employee can also be done if 75% of the AotP votes to do so.

With the time of revival coming near, engineers have worked harder than ever to find another civilization. This has resulted in the creation of the West Deserts Radio Wave Machine, something that generates such strong signals relative to the decreasing radioactive interference that it should be able to reach across the whole west and parts of the midwest and south.
Outside the bunker on a frigid winter day, current Colonel-Captain-President announces to a small crowd that today is the day that a new era will begin for Hawthorne and its people.
Soon enough the machine is turned on, looking for any active signals to connect to.

On another unassuming day, only a few weeks after their contact with the people of Garret County in Maryland, another radio operator catches glimpses of another signal, this time from the Hawthorne Naval Depot. The possibility of another group of strategically important military survivors is too much to pass up, and the operator hands it over to his commanding officer, who attempts to initiate communications.
