The Midwest is a region in the former United States.
Background
John Cassidy mentions that the Midwest is a "big ol' radioactive dustbowl now" with "twisters miles wide."[1] Brotherhood Soldiers state that an Airship crash landed somewhere in the Midwest, and that the wreckage is still there.[2]
A license plate on the side of ED-E reads Great Midwest. Sunset Sarsaparilla Company sold their product in the Midwest, noted on a pie chart in the Sunset Sarsaparilla Headquarters.
