Great Britain, also referred to as England and the United Kingdom, is a pre-War country.
Background
In 1776, the battles of Lexington and Concord started the American Revolutionary War, fought between Great Britain and 13 North American colonies.[2] The Battle of Bunker Hill took place on June 17, 1775, marking the the first major military confrontation of the Revolutionary War, and a British victory.[3] When the Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Second Continental Congress, the ruler of Great Britain was King George III.[2] The Button Gwinnett Protectron mentions the "tyranny of King George the Third of Great Britain."[4]
The Museum of Freedom featured a guided American Revolution exhibit tour that mentions London, and Abraham Washington mentions England when describing the history of the Declaration of Independence.[5][6] The Freedom Trail Tour Bot mentions the thousands of troops camped in the Boston Common area prior to 1775.[7] A plaque at Wixon's Shovel Museum mentions the British Shovel Fighters of the Revolutionary War, known for "their pristine ditches and the uncanny ability to deflect rifle shot."[8] The United Kingdom was the first country to build a major railway system.[9]

Behind the scenes
- In a Fallout 3 afterthoughts feature, Emil Pagliarulo mentions Allistair Tenpenny, in that he traveled to the Capital Wasteland from Great Britain in order to seek his fortune. Pagliarulo stated that by mentioning small details about the state of the rest of the world, characters like Tenpenny can "serve as a catalyst" for players' imaginations.[Dev 1] Tenpenny is also described as an Englishman in the Fallout 3 Official Game Guide.[Pub 2]
- A real world image of London appears in the Fallout intro.
- In Fallout 2, in Sacred head of the Vault Dweller special encounter, Stonehenge is mentioned, a real world ancient ring of standing stones in England.

Button Gwinnett (robot): "This is no mere scrap of paper, sir/madam. This is the doctrine laid down by my fellow members of the Second Continental Congress. It absolves us of the tyranny of King George the Third of Great Britain. It is perhaps the greatest symbol of this free nation."
(Button Gwinnett's dialogue) - ↑ Lone Wanderer: "What's the history behind the document?"
Abraham Washington: "On July the 4th in 1776, a group calling themselves the Second Judgmental Congress got together at Fort McHarry in Maryland. After a ceremony which ended with Paul Revere singing the famous battle hymn known as the National Anthem, the document was signed. From there, it was sent to England by plane presumably and presented to King George himself. Thus began the Evolutionary War."
(Abraham Washington's dialogue) - ↑ Museum of Freedom intercom: "Let's send these crates back to London, boys!"
- ↑ Voice via Tour Bot: "Let us go back hundreds of years. It is the year 1775. For seven years, thousands of British soldiers have camped on this very soil in their orderly rows of tents. Led by General Thomas Gage, they seek to quell the growing tide of Revolution."

Sharon spends a lot of time working on her hair. Her vanity can be a distraction, but Sharon handles guns well enough to keep her out of trouble."

- ↑ "The 9mm Sten gun was developed by the British during WW2 as a cheap alternative to the more expensive Thompson SMG offered by the U.S. The Sten proved to be extremely reliable and, due to its fairly loose tolerances, could perform in poor conditions much more reliably than ostensibly better weapons."
Fallout Tactics weapon description - ↑ "This British adaptation of a Czech design was adopted as the standard light machine gun of British and Commonwealth forces in 1938. The .303 Cal Bren was among the most liked and respected weapons available to the British in WW2, due to its exceptional ruggedness, accuracy and simplicity, and remained in service with British forces for almost 50 years."

(Brain Tank's dialogue) - ↑ Edwin Brotch: "No, Mister DeLoria, that is not correct. The Battle of Hastings was 1066. 2077 was the end of the world. Tell me. Are you really that stupid?"

A rich eccentric who's bored with life and looking for new challenges, he enjoys sniping at wasteland creatures, ghouls, and the occasional visitor from his suite atop Tenpenny Tower."
