History
Vault 10 emerged around a deep nuclear war bunker with the same name, located in the Freedom Hall. The Vault 10 was a large, partially underground nuclear mining, industry and research complex, encompassing all stages from uranium mining to production of combat-ready warheads.
After surviving nuclear strike, Vault 10 remained as a closed underground system concerned only about survival, but on the night of September 11 the massive doors have opened, and the first inhabitants, wearing armored environment suits with dark black visors, and armed to the teeth, carefully stuck their guns out of the vault.
Today Vault 10 is a small, socially progressive nation of hard-working scientists and engineers, continuing their traditional business: producing top-grade nuclear weapons and renting them to ones who have enemies to incinerate.
Population
The population of Vault 10 is widely recognized as being one of the most cynical in the entire world. All religious organizations are charged with spreading unverifiable, untestifiable and unfalsifiable theories and closed, which is one of few civil rights restrictions. The freedom of speech, however, is held to its highest, and each citizen is entitled to a personal virtual server and yearly five minutes on one of the TV channels. Shows with explicitly insulting racist, ageist, elitist and counterelitist material, like Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things are among the most popular ones, and the public laughs upon everyone not excluding themselves.
Defense
Defense budget of Vault 10 is 0 caps, which is fully sufficient to deter any nation from considering attack. Instead of centralized army Vault 10 relies on its corporations for defense. As the major export product is fully assembled nuclear missiles of all sorts, a few thousands of them are always waiting for customer in ready-to-fire condition. For other matters the official policy is "Government is not responsible for any use of rented weapons", and the corporations frequently rent weapons to proxy rogue states for 1 cap with condition to be immediately fired upon a specified target.
Art
Vault 10 is strongly supportive of all forms of independent art, while strongly discouraging popular centralized culture. Elaborate graffiti graces every city's streets, interior and exterior of factories, and the official color palette for ships, planes and vehicles is three-dimensional graffiti, drawn by the crew, which has a side-effect of confusing potential opponents. Independent bands of all sorts are playing in thousands of clubs all over the cities, on the streets, in the underground vaults, and every military ship (due to lack of civilian ones) has a small rock club aboard.
Trivi@
It is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, a referendum must be held in order for any new law to be passed, and the nation's youth is held blameless for all crimes. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate.
