Live in the "Golden Triangle" of high-tech development in Ontario. If this was the Falloutverse I'd be living under martial law and be subject to having my brain scooped up and put into robobrains. If I survive the rule of Pre-War America my town urban sprawls into another town that urban sprawls directly into the town hosting the most fancy tech-oriented university in Canada, home of the Blackberry in the real world and most likely all sorts of war machines in the Falloutverse.
Robobrain or not, id probaby be a casualty in the first days. If the blast doesn't get me I live in the most populated place in the entire country, and the fallout would get me since there's no good place around here that wouldn't be a target. Even if I was born and raised in the Falloutverse and not just transported there for the days the bomb fell, I can't see someone like myself putting up much of a resistance to American rule. I always find a way to be content with things the way they are, usually. Running off and joining guerrilla fighters in the far north isnt very appealing. That would give me a good chance of surviving the war, though.
