Great Britain



The United Kingdom (possibly the British Commonwealth) was a pre-war country, and the only confirmed member of the European Commonwealth.

Background
The United Kingdom was made up of four countries: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It was also responsible for the British Overseas Territories of Anguilla, Bermuda, the British Antarctic Territory, the British Indian Ocean Territory, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, the Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Montserrat, Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha, the Turks and Caicos Islands, the Pitcairn Islands, South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands, and the Sovereign Base Areas on Cyprus; as well as the Crown Dependencies of Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man.

It was an island nation in Europe far to the east of the core region/known world for the Fallout series. Before the Great War it was a wealthy country and, like its real world counterpart, was most likely a nuclear power. It was the leader of the states in both the Commonwealth of Nations and the European Commonwealth. No details are known about the state of the British Isles after the Great War.

The UK in Fallout

 * J.E. Sawyer has expressed a desire to make a Fallout game set during the Resource Wars, involving members of the British Armed Forces.

There are several references to the United Kingdom in published Fallout games:
 * The Declaration of Independence, which declared America's independence from Great Britain, and the Magna Carta, an important document written in England in medieval times (1215), can be found in the Museum of History in Fallout 3.
 * In Fallout MacRae, a Scotsman, appears as an Unarmed combat trainer for the Blades.
 * In Fallout 3, Desmond Lockheart and Allistair Tenpenny are both from England.
 * In the Fallout: New Vegas Add-on Dead Money Dean Domino speaks with a distinct English accent.
 * Scotch and Whiskey both originate from the United Kingdom.
 * The are also several references to Ireland in the Fallout universe including Reilly of Reilly's Rangers, Colin Moriarty, John L. Sullivan, and Patrick the Celt.


 * Some examples of British military equipment exist in the Fallout universe. Weapons such as the Sten gun and Light support weapon were produced in the UK at the Royal Small Arms Factory in Enfield Lock.


 * A Boudicca-78/S motorcycle was to be the first vehicle found for use in Van Buren.

Behind the scenes

 * "Allistair Tenpenny came to the Capital Wasteland from Great Britain to seek his fortune, so that alone tells you that the U.K. was also hit in the war. And if he came to U.S. to succeed, that says a lot about how screwed up Europe must be. So we just allude, a little bit, to the state of the rest of the world. We like to leave a lot to the players' imaginations, and somebody like Tenpenny serves as a catalyst for those thoughts." - Emil Pagliarulo
