Location

The locations in the post-nuclear United States of America form the backdrop in which the events of the Fallout series occur.

Commonwealths
The pre-War United States was comprised of thirteen commonwealths, created in 1969, acting as an intermediate level of governance between the state and federal governments. Intended to help create legislation broad enough to benefit states with common regional concerns, but narrow enough not to affect those with dissimilar interests or political cultures.

Following the Great War, the commonwealths disintegrated into what became known as the wasteland. When land across the country eventually became less radiated and more habitable, survivors reestablished settlements and began new post-War lives, with their namesakes found on signage remnants along long-abandoned roadways.

Vaults
The vaults are a series of survival shelters designed by Vault-Tec Corporation on contract with the U.S. government to protect a selected portion of the United States population from a nuclear holocaust. The government commissioned 122 vaults as part of Project Safehouse, seen throughout the continental United States.
