コモンウェルスは戦後再建が試みられました。数十年にわたって、生き残った者たちと学生はコモンウェルス技術大学(C.I.T.)の地下に避難し、戦前の研究を継続し始めた。そして、大戦争の33年後の2110年にインスティテュートを設立した。その後数十年の間、インスティテュートは第一世代人造人間(のちにシンスと呼ばれる)の製造を開始した。この時に、インスティテュートは地上住民とともに協力することを試みたが、お互いに対する不信感が協力を妨げた。特にCommonwealth provisional governmentの設立時にあたって顕著であった。これによってインスティテュートは再び地下に戻り、以下のような新しい方針を定めた。the eradication of all pre-war culture they blamed for igniting the Great War
The Commonwealth suffered from terrible radiation storms caused by the Glowing Sea, the area hit by the nuclear weapons that destroyed much of the region. During a storm, the sky turned a sickly green color while a thick fog moved in, limiting one's visibility. These storms behaved in the same manner as thunderstorms, with every "strike" emitting radiation across the land. Despite this, the Commonwealth appears to be a somewhat healthier area of the post-nuclear United States. The skies are brighter and clearer, and vegetation such as mutfruit and tato plants can be seen growing plentifully in the region, providing wastelanders with a source of food. The Commonwealth also sees regular rainfall, in a similar vein to Zion Canyon. The overall landscape is less blasted and scorched than other areas such as the Capital Wasteland—due to the fact that the Boston area never suffered a direct hit, with the nuclear explosion detonating farther southwest, in what is now the Glowing Sea. However, since the Commonwealth covers the entirety of pre-War Massachussetts, it is unknown whether the rest of the region has emerged as fortunate.
Brotherhood of Steel(B.O.S.)は2287年に数人の偵察隊をボストンとその周辺へ送り込んだ。最終的にB.O.S.はプリドゥエンをボストン進出の足掛かりとするためにボストン上空へ送り込んだ。Elder Arthur Maxsonによって率いられ、伝統的なしそうによって結束している。そして、インスティチュートが先端技術を研究するが新たな災いをもたらすとして、彼らをを倒すことを目標にしている。
Fallout 3[]
Harkness, Dr. Zimmer and Armitage are from the Commonwealth.
During the events of Broken Steel, Dr. Li leaves the Capital Wasteland on a trip to the Commonwealth, apparently to clear her head after the final activation of Project Purity. At an unspecified point, she joins the Institute.
Tobar, captain of the Duchess Gambit, made frequent trips to the Commonwealth when his ferry was in better condition.
Ishmael Ashur, ruler of The Pitt, mentions the Commonwealth, stating that it has reason to envy the Pitt.
Marcella mentions the Commonwealth on her terminal in Point Lookout.
実際に連邦に訪れることが出来るのはFallout 4のみですが、 Fallout 3 とそのDLCである The Pitt, Broken Steel, Point Lookoutでは、連邦についての言及があります。
"連邦"という日本語訳について[]
Commonwealthの語源と歴史[]
Commonwealthの訳語は文脈や用例により意味、表記が変化する言葉です。国家連合体である英連邦や共和制国家のイングランド共和国などの原文にもCommonwealthという言葉は使われており、日本ではアメリカの"一部の州の"州号として使用されている事が広く知られています。そもそもアメリカの州の殆どは「State」という表記を採用しており、Commonwealthという州号のつく州はたったの4つしか存在しません。ケンタッキー州、マサチューセッツ州、ペンシルベニア州、ヴァージニア州の4つの州は、州憲法で自らの州をCommonwealthである、と規定しています。これは1780年に採択され、正式にマサチューセッツ州は「Commonwealth of Massachusetts」となりました。この出来事はFalloutと現実世界が分岐する以前の出来事です。そして採択された1780年は、まさにアメリカ独立戦争の真っ只中でした。1756年に始まる七年戦争はイギリスの勝利に終わり、アメリカ大陸は徐々にイギリスの植民地化が進んでいきました。ニューヨークやヴァージニア、そしてマサチューセッツは王領植民地となり、イギリスは自国の経済政策のために植民地に重税を課しました。植民地の貿易や産業が制限され、様々な課税政策が実行されていきました。そして1770年代に入るとアメリカとイギリスの対立は更に進み、1773年のボストン茶会事件をきっかけとしてアメリカはイギリス本国との通商を拒絶、ついにアメリカ独立戦争が勃発します。
