Forum:The Fallout World

Where did the information on this map come from?

It looks like the Soviet Union still contains the Caucus, Ukraine, Baltics and Belarus, but there's no indication of an Eastern Bloc, and China seems to have swallowed up Korea, Taiwan and Mongolia.GaussRifle 17:32, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

What have South America, Africa, and Austraulia been doing? Why do they not deserve color? Mr. Vault Freak,  You need something?  21:57, September 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Because they weren't mentioned. Mexico should be in blue, though. Nitty Tok. 21:58, September 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * K Mexico is now blue. -- 22:03, September 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Or not; unless it's a caching issue, my changes didn't take. -- 22:05, September 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * K so I tried again, this time I didn't get Central America blue too, and I think it's just a caching issue but I'm still not seeing Mexico blue but now my first or second attempt is showing in the page history. Whatever. -- 22:09, September 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * I believe the United States just invaded and occupied Mexico. It wasn't fully annexed like Canada. 76.16.85.195 05:35, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

You should refer to the original file's discussion, I actually submitted the file and I can't for the life of me remember why certain things were colored the way they were. Mongolia, Korea etc.

It can be assumed that China took over Taiwan however because Taiwan "Republic of China" was the bitter enemy of the Communist Chinese State during the Chinese Civil war, and having China being an aggressive superpower it can be assumed that the ROC did not keep it's independence.

I have uploaded an alternate map that is more accurate, Most of Europe has been divided to it's post WW II stage, The Eastern Bloc has been included. And unless can otherwise be argued by Canon sources, was a part of the Soviet Union's territory. Much like Mexico to America as it was occupied or a satellite state, Places like the Ukraine and Belarus were actually part of the country, like Canada was Annexed into America.

I have revised the Unnamed Middle eastern Coalition of countries to include only the Arab world as Arabs and Iranians/Persians have had a long history of non-cooperation and war, and having them both fighting on the same side is highly unlikley

Highlightes aswell near China are areas that can be speculated were under Heavy influence or possibly even Occupation of Communist China, Places like Vietnam, Japan, Korea etc have had a long history of turbulent relations, and Wars. It can be speculated that Southeast Asia was as much under the control of China as Eastern Europe was to the Soviets

The European Confederation's members were comprised soley of current EU members that had not been apart of the former Eastern bloc, as in the Fallout Canon, the Soviet Union never fell. The exception is Germany, which is still divided Yugoslavia and Albania did split away from the Soviet's Influence later in real history but in 1945 they were still allied, so they remain listed as Soviet. Greece was also liberated by the Soviets but was later handed to the west in real life. But after 1945 it becomes an alternate timeline, and nothing that happened after 45 in our timeline can be considered 100% canon in the fallout world

The point here is much of the world outside of China and America has little mentioned in the Canon, so is almost entirley up for speculation. The map is colored based on the REALISTIC probabilities. Practically the entirety of Europe and the Middle east isnt even relevant outside of being mentioned 1 or 2 times in the entire series.

Please consult this image and replace the old image as needed. If the argument continues any further it's probably just best to remove the map of the world entirley
