European Commonwealth

The European Commonwealth was the Fallout equivalent of the real-world European Union, although it is not known which European states were its members (the only confirmed one is the United Kingdom). In 2052 Europe was dependent on oil exports from the Middle East, and responded to rising oil prices with a military action (starting the Resource Wars), which suggests that unlike today's EU, the EC was also a military pact. Some time after the war ended, as the Middle Eastern oil fields went dry in 2060, European Commonwealth dissolved into quarreling nation states fighting for the remaining resources.

Appearances in games
The European Commonwealth is mentioned only in the Fallout intro and the Fallout Bible. A pre-Fallout "Resource Wars" game set in collapsing Europe (during the U.K.'s invasions of the Middle East) is one of the games that J.E. Sawyer would like to make if he could do any game, regardless of money and developing time.
