Italy

Italy was a country in Europe before the Great War.

Background
During World War II, Italy fought on the side of the Axis Powers under the leadership of the dictator Benito Mussolini. His regime quickly fell, and the country surrendered to allied forces after a crushing defeat. The country's affairs after 1945 are unknown, due to the divergence. Presumably, the modern Italian Republic was established directly following the war.

By 2060, as the European Commonwealth dissolved, the country fell into disarray, bickering and quarreling with its neighbors over the last few remaining resources on Earth. Northern Italy, in particular, was reduced to total anarchy.

Italy was also the headquarters of the renowned firearms manufacturer Beretta.

Fallout 3

 * The Soil Stradivarius was created by Antonio Stradivari in Cremona.

Fallout: New Vegas

 * Caesar's Legion, a major organization in the southwestern United States, based their culture and society on Ancient Rome, an old Italic civilization. The city of Rome and the Rubicon river are also referenced. The historic European region known as Gaul is mentioned as well, which encompassed parts of Northern Italy.
 * The Ultra-Luxe plays music from Antonio Vivaldi.

Fallout Shelter

The plot of J.E. Sawyer's hypothetical Fallout: Resource Wars game would involve a crew of soldiers from the Royal Armoured Corps who become stranded in a war-torn anarchistic northern Italy and have to fight their way to the English Channel in a bunch of quickly degrading vehicles, scavenging replacements, fuel, and weapons as they go.
