A state of the United States was a pre-War geographic territory with established borders within the United States of America, formed into commonwealths, and then into the federal republic.

Though essentially defunct with the dissolution of the United States following the nuclear apocalypse, the names of the former American states are still used by the inhabitants of the wasteland and mentioned multiple times in the Fallout series.

Background

Prior to the Great War, the United States of America was comprised of a total of 50 states.^[1] The states were created as a result of thirteen British colonies declaring independence in 1776.^[2] The ensuing American Revolutionary War secured the split, and the group of states adopted a constitution, joining the states together as a single republic.^[2] In 1969, they were organized into commonwealths, an intermediate level of political organization between a state and the federal republic.^[3]

Canada was annexed into the United States in the 2070s as a U.S. territory. Though some Americans referred to it as the "Big 51," alluding to it being seen by them as the official 51st state, this is not known to have formally occurred.^[4][5]

These distinctions are still used by the inhabitants of the post-War wasteland as well as appearing in old reading materials, on posters and on various signs, placards and monuments. However, the former use is more to do with distinguishing territories of various wasteland groups than any formal attempt at restoring the old American state system.

States that appear in games

The various wastelands featured in game usually fit within the geographical area of pre-War states, and sometimes the pre-War name is part of the name given to an area by the wastelanders living there.

• Fallout 2 takes place in California, Oregon and Nevada.

When the war ended, he settled down to rule the Linoy, a small tribe of free men. He grew so famous that one day he was made President. He ruled over all the land. When he declared that all slaves must be freed, the slavers rebelled against his rule. They fought a great war, which Lincoln won. When he came to free the slaves, an assassin of the slavers struck him down. In the confusion, a few of the slavers escaped. Lincoln's generals hunted them, but could not find them.

Fact is, they begun their crime spree two days before Bonnie and Clyde robbed their first bank - so who was copying who? Now true, Vikki and Vance didn't exactly cut a wide swath of murder and bank robbery across the central U.S., like Bonnie and Clyde did. It was more like a narrow swath of shoplifting, check-cashing fraud, and gas pump driveoffs - but crime is crime! They drove reckless, too. Having lived by the gun - well, Vance owned one, anyway - it was only fitting that the duo of desperados would die by the gun. Perhaps it was fate itself that accidentally drove them into a crossfire between police and a gang of bank robbers in Plano, Texas. Or maybe they just didn't notice until it was too late. It's been said that Vikki would have tried to cash a bad check in that bank, had she lived. We'll never know for sure.

There, they reconnected with the Followers of the Apocalypse and rebuilt their strength. Bolstered by ancient knowledge of governance, economics, and transportation, they carved a mighty empire out of the ruins of the Northwest." ↑ Honest Hearts endings: "Joshua Graham's chilling execution of Salt-Upon-Wounds seared into their minds, the surviving White Legs retreated to the Great Salt Lake. Unable to shake the memory of their brutal defeat and the Dead Horses' savagery in battle, the White Legs feared further reprisals. They fled north, out of Utah, into Wyoming. The wilderness was harsh, and the first winter claimed over half the tribe. When spring came, the survivors parted ways in small bands. And so the White Legs died a quiet, ignominious death."
