A survivalist group that, after the collapse for which they've been preparing for, try to bring back order.

Now what brand of order varies, it could be a theocracy from a pre-collapse religion, martial law, or they could even be the good guys of the settings, diverse people from before the war who just happened to have prepared and try to bring back a flawed, but functional pre-collapse form of order because they want their luxuries back, and it could only happen if civilization came back. Whatever the case may be, they're proactive in bringing back their form of order out of ideolgical motivation rather than the self-obsessed nihilists who just fortify their home base and kill everyone on sight that survivalists are often portrayed as.

Most survivalists are normal people who prepare for the worst, and like most normal people, they have ideologies that guide their actions, and it's human nature to try to push our ideologies on others, peacefully through debate or violently through threats and violence. Why would survivalists be any different?
