Regions

 * See also: United States of America

The pre-War United States was comprised of 13 commonwealths, 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. The commonwealths include:


 * Columbia Commonwealth - Comprised of the former states of Maryland and Virginia, as well as the District of Columbia.
 * Capital Wasteland - Spans much of the District of Columbia, as well as portions of both Maryland to the north and Virginia to the south. The area serves as the game-world for Fallout 3.
 * Point Lookout - A swampland that was once a state park in the former state of Maryland. The area serves as the game-world for the Fallout 3 add-on Point Lookout.
