United States

Countries in Fallout (video game series):
  • Caesar's Legion is an autocratic, ultra-reactionary, utilitarian slaver army founded in 2247 by Edward Sallow (Who later adopted the name "Caesar") and Joshua Graham. It is largely inspired and partially based on the ancient Roman Empire, though it is not the Roman Empire, the Roman Republic or even its military, the Legion. It is a slave army with trappings of foreign-conscripted Roman legionaries during the late empire. All military, no civilian, and with none of the supporting civilian culture. It appears only in Fallout: New Vegas
  • The New California Republic (NCR) is a federal presidential republic founded in New California by Aradesh also formerly leader of Shady Sands, comprising five contiguous states and additional territories and holdings in pre-War regions in Nevada, Arizona, Oregon, and parts of Mexico. The Republic dedicates itself to the values of the old world: Democracy, liberty, the rule of law, all in order to make the wasteland a better place. However, its policies resulted in difficulties in recent years. It was founded in 2186, is mentioned in Fallout 3 and Fallout 4, and appears in Fallout 2 and Fallout: New Vegas
  • The Enclave is a nation state established after the Great War, formed by members of the pre-War United States government and military industrial complex. It claims authority over the territory of the United States of America, considering itself the legal continuation of the U.S. government and styling itself as such. First appearing in Fallout 2, then later in Fallout 3, its add-on Broken Steel, and is mentioned from its few remaining now retired survivors appearing in Fallout: New Vegas with former soldiers, now followers for the Children of Atom in the Fallout 4 add-on Far Harbor
  • Shi is a post-apocalyptic nation that is against all post-great war politics. It was founded by survived Chinese spies that established most areas from ruins of San Francisco as City State and uses some elements of the Chinese culture, such as their ancestors' customs, clothing, language, and demeanor. The younger generations, however, seem to rely more on the surviving popular culture interpretations of Chinese culture (such as kung-fu holovideos), rather than actual cultural traditions. It appears in Fallout 2 and is indirectly mentioned in Fallout 4[citation needed]
  • Republic of Dave (also formerly called Kingdom of Tom, Kingdom of Larry, the Republic of Stevie-Ray, Billsylvania, and the New Republic of Stevie-Ray) is a small farming settlement in the far northeast corner of the Capital Wasteland (Fallout 3) that is considered by its close-knit inhabitants to be a sovereign nation-state. This nation is actually closer to a micronation, because since on-off monarchies and republics with an only family control it, and they only had one citizen working as a teacher or merchant (optional) during the game. This nation only appears in Fallout 3
  • The Free Economic Zone of New Vegas is a neoliberal autocratic faction led by Pre-Great War survivor Robert House in Fallout: New Vegas. Although it is formally founded if House establishes sovereignty over the Mojave region, in practice, it exists in a practical capacity throughout Mr House's rule in New Vegas
