Thanks for clarifying that detail about the credit check versus entrance fees. I never realized submitting the 2000 caps was practically free. Regarding your other points, I think that Ashur and House are not dictators because they have no government. They're certainly autocratic leaders, but I think these are economic free zones. To me, New Vegas is similar to Disneyland. Disneyland has its own rules, guards, and takes a profit from everything sold. That didn't make Walt Disney a dictator. Ashur's Pitt is closer to a government, but it's just a steel mill. He doesn't actually control Pittsburgh or collect taxes. For that reason, I would say they're both acting more like capitalist leaders than a government leaders.

As for the importance of being a billionaire, I mentioned it because it proves he understands industrialization. This is a concept we can all attempt, but it takes a true genius to master. Mr. House likely had robots automating his factories and supplied the world with his goods. Once the game ends, Mr. House is left with a robot army and a lot of electric power. I assume he will eventually find his roots and industrialize once again. Quite frankly, he could be the Fallout version of J.P. Morgan if he plays his cards right.
