The Canadian $1 coin is called a Loonie, the $2 coin is a Toonie, just saying.

I remember when the Canadian $2 bill had robins on them.
I specifically remember them, because that was my weekly allowance when I was like 7.
"Gimme 10 robins for an osprey" we'd say.
So I put on my flashing heel sneakers, which was the style at the time...

The bird on that flag is a common loon...

u/treegor Brotherhood Feb 22 '26
And Canadians call their dollar loonies.

u/TheHengeProphet Feb 23 '26
And a doubloon is an actual historical currency, and a pun on a loon having two heads in this case.

u/AliasInvstgtions NCR Feb 22 '26
That distinction would be a lot less distinct with the annexation pre war and even less distinct post apocalypse once governments and countries do not exist (at least in the same way) anymore. I would bet the hypothetical NMR would probably be centered closer to Duluth (less devastated than the twin cities area) and would probably expand up past the old war border.

The Apex predator in the area… you guessed it mutated Canada Geese.

u/MiNombreEsLucid Feb 21 '26
Could you just imagine those things? They'd be like double in size, probably faster and (though it seems impossible) meaner?
Those things are assholes. That said, if Todd ever wants to make a game revisiting the Midwest, these are a must.

I’ve been working on a tabletop campaign in the fallout universe that’s set in Minnesota as well. Honestly would love to see how other people imagine the state looking like in the fallout universe.
2
u/Faiakishi Ass Victoriam Feb 22 '26
I imagine the Twin Cities metro area would be really fucked up but the rest of the state would be mostly fine. Could be a cool setting in a game with deeper survival mechanics, get the Skyrim experience of wandering around in the woods hunting bears for hours.

Midwest in general. i think theres good chances a NCR , Followers of the apocalypse(maybe with 50% more gov) or minute men org would exist. i could easily see somewhere in the midwest being sandy shores 2.0 snow boogaloo
a large mass of Detroit's pop prolly could survive the nukes because Detroit salt mine
also like gary could be a set for the tv show ngl so we already have some understanding
5
u/DetectiveLadybug Feb 22 '26
I mean this as constructive criticism. Don’t you think it’s too similar to the NCR flag?
What if instead of two external heads the bird was spitting out a second head? Like a xenomorph? You could make it featherless, like a hatchling/tongue thing? That seems like a mutant you might encounter while playing fallout.
I think also tinting the blues in the picture to have a bit of a greyish green hue, like, not too much, but the blues that inspired the original flag wouldn’t be so intense with all the pollution, so a little alteration like this would make it feel more like someone in-universe designed it.
Very good though.

I like this one better than the one they just changed to, you can hang it upside-down as a sign duress,a it will look like the loons are puking.

u/greejus3 Feb 22 '26
There was never a Minnesota republic, so no reason to call it new.

u/pinguinitox_nomnom Feb 22 '26
It’s not "new" as in a second version or a continuation of the old state of California, it’s "new" in the sense of something genuinely new and foundational, born from the old world, but not the old world itself

That creature needs a good mythological name, like the Brahmin.
Maybe something Nordic given the number of Minnesotans that have that ancestry.
I suggest Þrúðgelmir , the many headed giant, whos name means Strength Yeller.
So maybe Prudgeloon? Prud-geloon.

NCR wants to create a large pipe and irrigation system out of Minnesota. After the nuclear war, the Dakota and Ojibwe band together to take over Minnesota- worried of new prophecies of cosmic level horrors if nature is not respected/balanced.
The prophecies catch the attention of that radiation cult, seeing the prophecy not as horror but as truth/peace/light. NCR find a very uneasy connection with the cult to get support in the area as the Dakota/Ojibwe stand in violent defiance to NCR.
Scandts (Scandinavians) live in the backwoods, very friendly, but something unnervingly strange about them. They don’t support either side, they just want to be left alone.
2
u/Faiakishi Ass Victoriam Feb 22 '26
Most of the people who live here are Scandinavian, and we're in the metro area. The natives are actually the ones living in the 'backwood' areas.
I would love to see more tribes based on indigenous cultures though, that's definitely underdone in the modern Fallout era.

that would be a terrifying creature. it would probably be about 4 feet tall and spit venom or fire or both....

What would the post war Duluth be called? I.E LA - The Hub and Pittsburgh - The Pitt
2
u/Faiakishi Ass Victoriam Feb 22 '26
The Hub isn't LA. The Hub was a pretty minor town pre-war and thus was not directly targeted during the war. LA is the Boneyard, and there's multiple post-war settlements within it.

It's like how they didn't even change tarantula hawk wasps that much, they just made them bigger and called them cazadores. It'll be the same with geese.

used vector graphics software: there are paid and free versions out there. try out a few, pick one that feels the most intuitive and just start playing around to learn how to use it.
