Russia

The Soviet Union did not collapse in the 20th century in the Fallout world and still existed in the 21st century, prior to Great War.

The Soviet Union had consular service and very likely foreign service, including consular relations with USA. In fact, it's very likely the Soviet Union wasn't at war against USA in 2077. However it is unknown whether during the Great War the Soviet Union was an ally of China, its enemy, or was neutral towards it, and it is unknown whether it still had its sphere of influence in Europe.

-theory-

The europeian commonwealth was the pinnacle of our real world russia's intentions during their attempted invasion of post war britan. However, it is impossible to say if this was still the Sovet Union's intentions, as the world of fallout slightly alters after WW2 the major time of these developments.

The fact that bombs were never (or just being) converted into ICBMs supports numerous factors of this theory. ICBMs were specificly invented for remote destruction of each other's country in our world. If the world didn't care that russia wanted britan (who would, after how ravaged it was) and with russia a hungry economy, it's somewhat possible this 'commonwealth' was a tool of their making. They wanted a kind of communist super state to reign over these lands, and rule them under one entity. However, if this was their intention then if they made this happen, why not merge? My answer is because they wanted cheaper deals, and rather then waste power nationilazting companys, just bankroll, and then purchase companys, and make money off a foreign company. The rothschilds still exist in fallout, most likly a descendent from one of the illuminati's bankers, unsuprising to see their future kin with the military, the now most powerful source next to money. Speaking of Illuminati, I believe they are the enclave in the fallout world.

The name of the state still confirmed its continuity, so it still likely had a kind of quasi-federal communist-like system of government in the 21st century.

The Soviet Union is not mentioned at all in other parts of the background, especially in background concerning the Great War.

The soviet union was most likly (likely? i feel like such a tyoping fool)

one of the kinds of countrys that did the general devistation that we see, and were probably the kinds of countires that launched the second volley of nuclear weapondry.

also, if you need proof the ICBMs were experemental, go check out the crater near the statesman hotel. Not to mention the nuke near megaton, the unoperational one on constantine accounts to 3 intact nuclear weapons that are inoperable, or failed when used.
