For many, the New California Republic faction in the Fallout franchise represents humanity's best chance at rebuilding a workable society after the Great War. This would be fitting, as it is essentially a faction derived from player choice during the very first game, wherein they choose to help Shady Sands during a side quest, resulting in its ending slide revealing its eventual founding of the Republic. The NCR is known to have accomplished a lot of good in the wasteland, including civilizing the Californian wasteland, respecting human rights, protecting trade routes, and more.
