Great Britain



The United Kingdom (possibly the British Commonwealth) is the only confirmed member of the European Commonwealth.

In real life, the United Kingdom is a Kingdom made up of the four countries of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

An island nation in Europe far to the east of the core region/known world for the Fallout series. Before the Great War it was a wealthy country and most likely a nuclear power like its real world counterpart. It was the leader of the states in both the normal Commonwealth and European Commonwealth. Allistair Tenpenny is known to have come from the United Kingdom before traveling across the Atlantic. No details are known about the state of the British Isles after the Great War. The ghoul Desmond Lockheart also originated from England and was stranded in America when the bombs fell in 2077.

UK's part in the Great War
The UK took part in the Great War, and in the Resource Wars, they were still fighting with Afghanistan. JE Sawyer wanted to make a Fallout game set in the Resource Wars, set in England. However it was not made.

There are some historical references to the UK in Fallout 3. The Declaration of Independence can be found which historically marked America's independence from the British. The Magna Carta, an important document written in England in medieval times (1215), can also be found. Scotch also originates in the United Kingdom. The only relation of the United Kingdom's neighbor Ireland, in the Fallout universe is Whiskey, Colin Moriarty, and Reilly of Reilly's Rangers.(Although she might be heritage and not immigration such as Moriarty.)

Official statements

 * "Allistair Tenpenny came to the Capital Wasteland from Great Britain to seek his fortune, so that alone tells you that the U.K. was also hit in the war. And if he came to U.S. to succeed, that says a lot about how screwed up Europe must be. So we just allude, a little bit, to the state of the rest of the world. We like to leave a lot to the players' imaginations, and somebody like Tenpenny serves as a catalyst for those thoughts." - Emil Pagliarulo
