Besides USA, no fate of no location in the world is known.

In 2077, the storm of world war had come again. In two brief hours, most of the planet was reduced to cinders. And from the ashes of nuclear devastation, a new civilization would struggle to arise.

The earth was nearly wiped clean of life. A great cleansing, an atomic spark struck by human hands, quickly raged out of control. Spears of nuclear fire rained from the skies. Continents were swallowed in flames and fell beneath the boiling oceans. Humanity was almost extinguished, their spirits becoming part of the background radiation that blanketed the earth.

One of the recurring themes of Fallout is that life will find a way to continue, albeit often under great struggles and with violence and suffering. It's not unreasonable, given this notion, to presume that U.S. remnant forces remain in parts of China, just as remnant Chinese elements are in the U.S.; and that other countries are similarly ravaged and war-torn, with survivors crawling out of the rubble. If Australia was untouched by the war, for instance, then presumably after 200 years they would have projected their powerful industrial presence and comparatively high population all around the globe to take control of any remaining resources, and the Enclave would find itself locked in a war with the Aussies. It's likely that some underpopulated parts of the third world escaped the full brunt of nuclear devastation, but since these would have been low-population unindustrialized areas anyway, they are not exactly in a position to take advantage of their "good fortune," such as it is. (I don't imagine that many nukes were wasted on the Sahara.)

Other countries, seeing the US's missiles on their way, fire their warheads as well. What ensues is two hours of nuclear bombardment upon the earth's surface.

Tenpenny Tower was slightly inspired by Fiddler's Green, the skyscraqer in George Romero's Land of the Dead. But it was also an opportunity to introduce another character from outside the U.S. Allistair Tenpenny came to the Capital Wasteland from Great Britain to seek his fortune, so that alone tells you that the U.K. was also hit in the war. And if he came to U.S. to succeed, that says a lot about how screwed up Europe must be. So we just allude, a little bit, to the state of the rest of the world.

Killzig: What ever happened to the catholic church in the FO universe?

Tim Cain: I think it was nuked - the vatican that is.

I'm ashamed to admit that I have yet to watch Mad Max, should I go tar and feather myself?

I love Mad Max but Australia is the one place that is the least likely to be nuked as u now the Fo universe is powered by urainum and Australia has 95% of the world un-mined urainum. China and the US would see Australia as too higher value to Nuke.

Maybe Australia was invaded by China?

What for? As far as I know, Australia isn't famous for its oil reserves and vast stock of natural resources.

Awesome movie.

First time i saw dogmeat i thought of mad max.


I think Australia would look like Western Australia.

Is it to soon to go poppin bushfire jokes right now cause i just got a sick disgusting picture of australian wasteland?

or should i go beat my head against a wall?

No doubt there would be at lest one vault in australia, properly for military and/or government.

let me clarify something for everyone, whatever place you are interrested in knowing about it got nuked, plain and simple.
if they had spare nukes for the vatican your country of choice will have gotten it too, seriously people the world as we know it is gone.

so australia? it got nuked, regardless of what resources it did or did not have, there were plenty of nukes to go around and i'm sure they saved one for the ausies

depends on how big it is

but the US now has enough nukes to destroy this entire planet 3 times over (or atleast wipe it of all life)
i'm thinking the US in the fallout universe had atleast as many if not more nukes in it's arsenal.
