East Coast

The East Coast, also known as the "Eastern Seaboard" or "Atlantic Seaboard", refers to the easternmost coastal states in the pre-War United States, which touch the Atlantic Ocean and stretch up to what used to be Canada. While in a strict geographical sense it includes the entire eastern seaboard, in popular usage the term "East Coast" is most often used to specifically refer to the northern half of this region, which is also known as the Northeastern U.S.

Capital Wasteland
The Capital Wasteland is a large expanse of open areas with caves, raider camps, etc. in the area of the former Washington, DC around the more urban areas of Downtown DC. As of 2277, the area is overrun by super mutants who are in a constant battle to push humans out.

The central hub of civilization in the ruins of the former capital is Rivet City, based in and around the remains of a beached aircraft carrier. Other settlements include the towns of Megaton, Springvale, Tenpenny Towers and Paradise Falls, as well as the Brotherhood of Steel Citadel built in place of the pre-War Pentagon. Movement between the towns is possible through the Washington Metro tunnels.
