Forum:What areas were not hit by a nuclear bomb?

I think that small places like the Canary Islands and the islands of Oceania were not hit or at least not all of them. I think Hawaii may have survived as well. Also I think Africa couldn't have been hit hard because of their no relations to the US and China.

In fallout 3 and fallout new vegas there are several mentions of areas not being hit by any nuclear bombs. Such as Pittsburgh and point lookout.

Are there any other locations that were ignored by enemy nuclear missles?

As a side note how could China be so retarded for not even bothering to hit one of America's major industry cities?

Uh, Pittsburgh was hit. That's why it is so freaking irradiated. Sombar1 15:54, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

As to who ever said "as side note how could China be so retarded for not even bothering to hit one of America's major industry cities?" They did. Thay hit Pittsburgh. And they hit just about every other city in Amarica as well just no Fallout has gone to those citys yet.


 * Pittsburgh was spared, if it had been nuked, then there wouldn't be relatively intact skyscrapers or infrastructure to the degree they appear in "The Pitt". The Monogahela and Allegheny rivers, however, are highly irradiated. --GaussRifle 21:12, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

Zion National Park in Utah wasn't hit, that's why it's preserved wilderness is considered a paradise by the people who live/visit there.

You're also assuming that the chinese didn't attack pittsburgh or other areas, some bombs were duds and missle defense systems eliminated some. - Rattigan

When it comes to it, almost everything is "hit" by the bombs. From direct impact, to immidiate falling debris, all the way to radioactivity in the jetstream, leeching into the ground and water, etc. How often do you visit a site in fallout that has sustained a confirmed direct impact? The Glow is the only I can think. Everthing else just seems to be a result of secondary damage caused by the War (granted things like the White House was probably hit by a smaller device, hence the intact buildings around it).

Contributers please, it wasn't just the USA and China that caused the Earth to become a shit pile, the rest of the world helped when the United Nations disbanded, also the USA and Russia were the only ones with mass stores of nuclear weapons so that is more proof that America and China ALONE could be able to turn Earth into a pile of shit. And to the one who wrote that "jetstream" hypothosis, nice work

If anyone were to read the Nuclear Target list for the United States, Airforce/Military bases are the top targets,Major cities like New York or Los Angeles are next, then other population centers in order to assure the country loses Most of its population ensuring that the nation could not continue a war. Places with no or relatively low population like zion are most likely not to be hit by nuclear warheads, but then again, Nukes don't discriminate..as for out of the united states, Pretty much every major country in europe would be a smoking crater. China is obviously off the map since U.S. soldiers sweeped right through there before them chinamen launched the nukes. Australia might be lucky enough to miss a direct hit since it's basically just a useless island. Fox Archipelago off the coast of alaska(and no im not just getting this from Metal Gear) is an actual place and would defineatly not receive a direct hit. Saxony4 22:21, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

Australia is a very large continent and country, and by then would have a large military. China would have to nuke them as Australia would obviously attack China to defend themselves in fear and revenge for the rotw. Trolly Polly Olly 22:38, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

Not quite true with the China bombings, Saxony. As civil unrest boiled in the US, troops were directed to US and Cananda to maintain 'order'. And if the PW govt was anything like the enclave, they wouldn't have serious qualms with 'sacrificing' troops for the greater good. Big McLargeHuge 18:56, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

Aus. would have still been an ally of the US. People today hate others with a passion simply becuase of geographic reigon, so it would be like, 'you are friend of America, now you die' (the mantra of jihadists everywhere). And to note, Russia is seemly absent in major events in all of Fallout. Big McLargeHuge 19:25, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

Every country on earth was probably hit, the main-players (us and china) were probably hit the worst but allies to the united states and china were probably hit hard as well. I seriously doubt any neutral countries were spared the holocaust, given the attitudes of the prewar government (and even our own), what is the likelihood the united states would have decided to spared a country like brazil, Venezuela, or argentina? All these countries have serious quantities of natural resources and given the superiority complex that the USG has when it comes to central and south american countries, what are the odds that they would ever find it an acceptable future to open up their vaults and find that north america had been colonized by argentinians(or some other latin american country)? The same thing with neutral countries in africa and asia, do you honestly believe that the USG could stand the possibility that when they open their vaults there might be a country somewhere in the world that IS more powerful than they are? No way.

Big McLargeHuge, there are a lot of reasons for people in the world to hate America the LEAST of which is religious difference. The US government has supported brutal right-wing military dictatorships all across the world for DECADES, we've never been a protector of democracy the only thing we protect is the corporate state. Name a south american country, chances are the CIA helped installed a brutal military dictatorship there. Many of the worst dictators in the middle east are US allies who have gotten American support and CIA backing for years. Iran used to be a democratically-elected country before the CIA deposed their president and installed a brutal dictator who was overthrown because he was so widely hated. Too bad god decided to put at least a trillion barrels of our oil over there. Muslim terrorism/extremism got you down? Who has been the biggest supporter of islamic terrorism and extremism? That's right the USA and their blight on the face of humanity- the CIA. Ask any muslim what country is the biggest supporter of religious extremism and they'll probably tell you it's our old friend Saudi Arabia (who has received 79 billion dollars in us military weapons and aid since 1950) a close second would be the enemy who we created Iran. The taliban and al-quaida both used to work for the us, now were supposed to turn around and act like their THE ULTIMATE EVIL when Karzai and his thugs in Afghanistan are just as bad. The muslim world has been victimized by the united states in many ways.The united states supported the brutal military dictatorship in Indonesia as it invaded and committed a brutal genocide on the native population of east timor in the 1970s ( 400,000 people murdered, more people lost by percentage of population than cambodia) and has failed to stop many genocides since mainly due to the fact that there was NOTHING of VALUE that could be exploited by intervening.

We've never had an interest in protecting freedom and democracy or 'national security' it's always been about finding the best way to steal the worlds natural resources so we can hold up our economy and continue our lifestyle of consumption. How does installing a military dictatorship in chile help the average american on the street? How did it help prove to the world that global capitalism was more humane than communism? It didn't. But it did help companies like Ford and General Motors turn a profit, it did help bring cheap copper out of the ground that could be used to bring a greater profit to companies who make cars,electronics and build & design power grids.

Saxony4, given the way the USG has acted in the real world I'm pretty sure the USG did more than their fair share to turn the world into a shit pile in the fallout world. --Boredintheusa 22:26, June 9, 2011 (UTC)

In regards to targets in Australia, there are quite a few that are on [the russians at least] target list. Stirling Naval Base south of Perth in Western Australia is one, Sydney is another, Pine Gap in the Northern Territory and Exmouth in W.A are both vital command and control relay centres that'd get nuked. Darwin is a major military outpost for all the services as is Townsville. Brisbane is also another major centre. Its debatable as to whether or not Melbourne would be targeted but I suspect so as its also a major population centre. That leave Canberra, Adelaide and Hobart. Canberra would cop one as its the capital and Adelaide would too as its another major centre leaving Hobart pretty much ignored. The best place to be then would be on the west coast of Tasmania as there'd be little to no fallout blowing your way and no places that are worth expending a nuke on. Now I'm selling real estate for any interested parties who wish to buy some land to biuld their Vault on..... [wink]
