The NCR was somehow wiped out because a single city (which was depicted like it was some minor suburban farmstead rather than a sprawling metropolis, which it would be) got hit with a Fatman nuke.

Yeah the depiction of the NCR is a little all over the place in the show: first it seems like they’re non-existent anymore, well wait they’ve got a few ragtag members left, well wait they have an entire, well-equipped army.

I think there was some rewrites between Season 1 and 2, and the NCR was pivoted to be more of a focus. Basically the only consistent complaint about season 1 was the bizarre treatment of the NCR, I don't think the writers expected people to care as much as they did, so they were dragged into season 2 as a mainstay.
