This means, in the case of the United States (for example) that there's still big chunks of it that remain pretty much lawless (in comparison to modern-day US). The bigger (still standing) cities are bastions of civilization and outside of them, the further away, the more lawless things get.Nevada, for example, is pretty much back to normal on Vegas (except for the crazier types of crime and the police getting up to speed to confront it-the local CSI has pioneered such stuff as Death Note "ballistics" testing, for example). Over on Goodsprings.... well, it's as you see it on FONV. Except with less background rads and with working phones. It's a tourist and trading route hot spot-but the companies that go that way make sure to use well-equipped and guarded convoys. Or pretty badass single members for special or quick jobs.Some additional Fallout notes:-Over on DC, the Capitol Wasteland appeared on a lesser manifestation. What this means is that Megaton is now a small suburban town in the middle of Virginia (with the bomb removed and a slightly less shanty-town look-still has walls with several pieces made out of old airplane parts, though), the local animal control groups have to deal with RadScorpion, mutated Mole Rat, Mirelurk and occasional Yao Guai and Deathclaw pest problem, and the Avengers Of Humanity (or the occasional idiot that wants to replicate them) is an issue. The AOH actually opposes The Enclave because they do NOT want something like Eden ruling America-and Eden doesn't likes them either, being "impure" (read: not Enclave-born) and all.-The Brotherhood Of Steel is still around. They are mostly as portrayed on FO3-the "nicer", less homicidally insular chapters were (mostly) the ones to survive The Vanishing and the 23 Hours. Butting heads still ensues occasionally with their wanna-be Space Marine-slash-Adeptus Mechanicus mannerisms (or, at least, this is what some folks perceive their mannerisms sound like), but they are regarded to be on the side of angels.-Galaxy News Radio exists on Coreline, and is now a network with at least four subsidiaries (maybe more, still thinking of it-need help with ideas for more possible locations): Galaxy News on Virginia/Washington D.C., Radio Angel on Los Angeles, Radio Cerberus on San Francisco and Radio Jefferson on Chicago. They have full satellite, streaming and regular radio broadcasting capabilities, and all of them have Three Dog as one of their DJs (although Angel has him calling himself "Freedog"). Radio Angel is pretty much a puppet of the Los Angeles government not unlike the original GNR was a puppet for the BOS (and it still kind of is-at least Three Dog has no problem talking about them in a positive light whenever possible). "Fighting the Good Fight" is still an important part of the GNR mission statement, and in this the crews of the stations work their hardest to broker info to those who do the physical part-and which includes the occasional field investigator-slash-spy.-Nuka Cola and Sunset Sarsaparilla are beverage corps over on The Line. Comparing to other companies like Coca-Cola, they're small. Obviously, the background info of the Fallout games is out there for perusal by the whole world, and so the companies have needed to take steps to not poison their clients in any way. But they still want to deliver an "accurate" experience of drinking their beverages (such a selling point this is amongst those people out there which are Fallout fans), so such things have been done like Nuka-Cola making a special (and classified) gas cocktail for their beverages that sounds like Geiger ticking when you open the bottles.(Of course, there's people crazy enough (and some of them rich enough) that they go look and actually would even kill for "real" (read, several-hundred-year-old and even radioactive) Nuka-Cola and Sunset).</blockquote>
