It's basically just one big grape and pillage festival until Caesar dies.

Sure, they might talk about stability in the broken regions they leave behind, but they're basically just leaving everything ravaged. That doesn't even get into how the half of the population known as women are literally kept as enslaved breeding chattel.

The Legion might as well just be The Purge. It's nothing but a show of psychotics and people who drank far too much of the kool aid.

while the new vegas story emphasizes the legion's total war style conquest it also has dialogue from traders telling the player that the legion is safe and profitable to do business with. so long as they don't bring chems or liquor into their territory, approved traders can make more profits with legion gold backed currency; and without ncr's cumbersome bureaucracy, corrupt ncr officials, and high taxes - all three of which are expressly mentioned and displayed in new vegas quests and npcs. goodsprings ncr ending is a clear example of this.

war costs lots of money and legion has the organization and wealth to fund it. caesar talks about their own cities, bolstered by trade and low crime which creates stability with sound gold currency for financial capital, makes possible funding of an extensive logistical system to support legion's vast army. so much so they specialize into infiltration and saboteur corps possible of persuasive diplomacy and/or cloak and dagger tactics to splinter ncr's allies.

the ncr will see a great depression situation if they lose hoover dam or go through some event that generates hyper inflation which is sure to happen with the current ncr admistration.
