Wasteland

The Wasteland or Wastes describes the majority of the globe's post-nuclear environment in the Fallout universe.

In two hours time, the nuclear bombs of the Great War changed the face of the earth. Millions of people died in the initial blast, but many more died shortly after. Buildings, roads, monuments and all man-made structures were destroyed or damaged. Plant and animal life died in great numbers as well, and many surviving species were mutated by the resultant radiation. Many mutated animals are extremely deadly. To add to many of the problems survivors face, almost all water is irradiated. The surface of the Earth and its atmosphere were likewise scarred and changed by the catastrophe.

In the Fallout games, this changed and dangerous world is referred to as the wastes or the wasteland.
