State

A state was a pre-War geographic territory with established borders within the United States.

Background
There were 50 states within the country before the war. The states were created as a result of thirteen British colonies declaring independence in 1776. The ensuing American Revolutionary War secured the split, and the group of states adopted a constitution, bringing the states into a single republic.

These distinctions are still mentioned in character dialogue, appear in reading materials, on posters, and are found throughout the wastelands on signs, placards, and monuments. Mentions of states by name from both pre- and post-War within Fallout games are listed below alphabetically.
