The Republic of Dave is a (nominally) democratic settlement run by President Dave. Though it's opened up to trade caravans recently, the settlement remains mostly isolated, with its residents being fed propaganda. Concerningly, more than half of the population are Dave's children.

(Fun fact, the bit about how the Republic of Dave originated as a separatist faction from the pre-war US comes from the Fallout 3 Game Guide. It's never mentioned anywhere else, similar to the bit of info in NV about Goodsprings being settled by an NCR grant.)

Rivet City is the largest city in the Capital Wasteland, and it's easy to see why. It's well defended with a large police force and has a steady supply of fresh food and water thanks to the science lab. This is certainly the best place to work, if you can get there safely, that is.

And last but not least, Underworld, the ghoul town. Despite being in the middle of DC and all its residents being ghouls, Underworld is actually the third most populated town in the Capital Wasteland. Unfortunately, most of the population lives in relative squalor.

Finally, the results. The three best economies in the Capital Wasteland are Rivet City, due to its security and diverse workforce, Megaton, due to its stability and trade route access, and Canterbury Commons, due to the immense potential that could be unlocked.

That's a wrap on the Bureau of Labor Statistics' presentation on the Capital Wasteland!
The Bureau may do a census on the Commonwealth in the future, however that would be a much larger task.
For now, thanks for reading and again thanks to @anyaustin.bsky.social for the inspiration.
