美利坚合众国（英文名：United States of America (USA)），通常被截断为 United States, US，或简称为美国（America），是一个战争前联邦共和国，并且是2077年資源戰爭结束时仅存的两个已知核超级大国之一。到那时，美国大约有4亿公民，[Non-canon 1] 随着政治体系越来越受到军企寡头集团的控制，他们可以使用核、生物和化学武器、核聚变和裂变科技、轨道设施以及它开创的其他先进技术。
他们有过练习:吞并加拿大向美国增加了大量心怀不满的居民，他们是美国军方及其公司近十年虐待的受害者。[Non-canon 35] Protests and rioting did little to stay the iron hand of their new American masters.[Non-canon 36] Martial law instituted in the wake of the annexation earlier in 2076 allowed the U.S. military to shoot protesters and rioters without consequence. Canada was brought to heel, although the atrocities committed in the name of the American people were leaked stateside, leading to unrest and protests despite the best efforts of American propagandists.[Non-canon 37][Non-canon 38]
政府与政治[]
The government of the United States of the 21st century had strayed far from the principles of governance enshrined within the Constitution of the United States, becoming an oligarchy with the characteristics of a military junta by 2077. Civil rights and liberties were increasingly curtailed in the name of national security and the war effort, until all pretense of a democratic order was dropped in late 2076, in the face of an open revolt by allies, neighbors, soldiers, and civilians. The state of emergency and then martial law granted the military and corporations total control over the country formalizing an existing state of affairs,[Non-canon 39] not unlike the annexation of Canada: When the fact was announced in 2077, it was largely a formality, as the United States consistently exploited Canadian resources without regard for Ottawa's opinions since 2069.[Non-canon 40]
The reason the military and civilian government stayed in power was in part due to Project Brainstorm, the "Induced Patriotism Initiative". Pervasive propaganda designed to instill nationalist sentiment and loyalty in the citizenry had been developed as part of the Sino-American War. This provided the military with increased enlistment rates, and thus a continuous source of new soldiers to throw at their Chinese enemies, as well as an increased tolerance for excesses of the state.[31]
The structure of the federal government remained of use to the American regime, however. Federal agencies, such as the National Park Service, the Bureau of Alcohol, Drugs, Tobacco, Firearms and Lasers, and the United States Space Administration continued to exist and execute their duties. However, the balance of power was still predictably shifted towards the Department of Defense and the military. The legislative and judiciary branches of government were severely hampered in the execution of their constitutional oversight, subordinated to the goals of the executive. A separate federal agency, the Political Office, was set up to handle investigations into internal affairs, much like Soviet commissariats.[32] The agency was empowered to arrest and allocate the interned persons for any purpose it saw fit – including the transfer to various corporations so that they may be used as test subjects.[33]
Both state and commonwealths were used to describe regions and governmental entities before and after the Great War. The thirteen commonwealths of the United States were created in 1969.[34] After the war, survivors continued to use these distinctions as well as developed new naming structures.[35] In Appalachia, federal documents use the distinction "Territory of Appalachia," among other similar names.[36][37]
National flag[]
主页面: Flag of the United States
Several variants of the flag were utilized by the country to represent itself both before and after the war. All variants had 13 horizontal stripes alternating white and red. Variants differed in their number of stars on a blue background, including those with 13, 14, and 50 stars. Although the majority of flags appearing are the 13 star version, the 50 star flag was also used, appearing in posters and on weapons, armor, and clothing.
As an increasing militaristic superpower, the United States had given priority to its armed forces, which asserted increasing control over law enforcement and public affairs. With widespread propaganda and pervasive domestic espionage efforts through the Defense Intelligence Agency and black projects of the various branches,[38] the military, controlled by the Department of Defense was one of the pillars of the American regime, supported by a network of vigilant citizens reporting suspected sedition and crime. In fact, fusion, the life-saving technology that allowed the American economy to last a while longer, was an off-shoot of a military weapons program.[Non-canon 41]
Most units outside the veteran formations fighting on the front lines against the Chinese and subjugating Canada suffered from poor training regimens. The situation was particularly bad with auxiliary units of the National Guard.[39]
The situation eventually led to the authorization and issuance of military-grade laser weapons to civilians, in order to use them as cannon fodder in case of a communist invasion or insurgency on American soil.[40] Private security companies were also contracted to perform arrests and round up civilians, completely blurring the line between the public and private sectors.[28]
经济[]
Like other economies worldwide, the United States was severely affected by the resource shortage of the middle 21st century and the resulting Resource Wars. Though based on the principles of a free market and open competition, the crisis allowed a handful of mega-corporations to seize control and establish a practical monopoly in key sectors of the American and even world economy. Many of these corporations became so deeply involved and integrated into the nation's infrastructure, that trying to decide where the corporation ended and the state began, became a largely academic discussion. As a result, the corporations effectively acted as sovereign nations unto themselves. Exploitative and abusive labor practices were the norm, such as with the Vault-Tec Corporation, which was notorious for its strictly enforced 2.25 minute (135 seconds) bathroom breaks.[41][42] Worse yet, as a strategic defense contractor for the government, Vault-Tec's affairs and all related publications (including, for example, the Vault Dweller's Survival Guide) were protected by the New Amended Espionage Act and any whistleblowing attempts would likely hurt the whistleblower more than the corporation.[Non-game 6]
One such mega-corporation was Poseidon Energy. It had a near-monopoly on the energy market in the United States, controlling nuclear power plants, exploitation of remaining oil fields, and even sustainable energy projects, like HELIOS One. It hid its involvement by operation through numerous companies established as fronts to influence and eventually control key industries. It also conducted a slew of its own military research projects, including development and implementation of orbital beam weapons.[43]
The war with China also allowed smaller companies considered vital to the war effort to cut support for their workers by a considerable margin. Workman's compensation was among many staples of labor law suspended as part of the war effort, denying vital support to laborers injured in the course of their work.[44] The deteriorating economy also made it easier for corporations to take advantage not just of their employees, but also of the general public. The Big Mountain Research and Development company was particularly infamous for luring isolated communities into Faustian pacts, where they agreed to act as test subjects for bleeding-edge technologies – often with disastrous effects.[45]
The mildest example of collusion was the ability of corporations to advertise directly to members of Congress and the House of Representatives. Companies from Nuka-Cola to the Red Racer tricycle company were able to purchase advertising airtime on the Presidential metro PA system.[46][47]
Of course, giving corporations free rein did not alter the harsh reality of an imminent economic collapse. One way in which this was delayed was by annexing and exploiting resources of sovereign countries. Mexican oil refineries were occupied in 2051 to keep the pipelines open,[Non-canon 42] while Canadian timberland, ore deposits and other critical resources were claimed in 2069, as the Sino-American War lumbered on with no end in sight.[Non-canon 43] Formal annexation began in 2072, following a sabotage attempt and occupation of Canadian soil by American military forces.[Non-canon 44]
Even with these resources propping up the economy, shortages were common. When the first fusion-powered cars were introduced by Chryslus Motors in 2070, the initially limited models were expensive but sold out within days. Supply was limited, as many Chryslus manufacturing facilities were long since converted into making military ordnance.[Non-canon 45] These were not isolated incidents, as many factories whose production and sales that were less than adequate were also systematically nationalized. This was the case with Radiation KingAssembly Plant 12 in the Appalachian Territories, even though they were close to a 100% peak efficiency rating.[48] The process was a quick one; Army engineers arrived, looked at the machinery and questioned the employees about their operation, then they promptly left and began the conversion process.[49] With the rapid transition of the factory, its workers were conscripted and put to work manufacturing ammunition.[50][51] This overproduction was to have the benefit of keeping its workers employed while keeping their morale up, with the added benefit of stockpiling supplies locally should the war go nuclear.[52] There was also a high rate of inflation, with a mundane coffee selling for $28,[53] a magazine for $35,[54] and a car for $199,999.[55]
However, voluntary compliance with government control was not enough. Critical defense contractors were effectively nationalized without compensation, by being put under military command – as was the case with West Tek's Californian facility.[7] Some companies, like Poseidon Energy, were only placed under military command in 2077 – although the degree to which the oligarchs controlled the American government alongside the junta made it a cosmetic change, at best.[56]

↑Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 43: "Chinese Army (Simulated), U.S. Army (Simulated) With conditions deteriorating between the United States and China, a military presence in Alaska was established to prevent a possible invasion across the Bering Strait. With increasingly scarce oil reserves, a last deep-sea deposit below the Pacific Ocean was claimed by China before allegedly being sabotaged by American special operatives. Strained relationships spiraled downward into escalated conflict, as China marched on Alaska, and the Sino-American War of 2066—2077 erupted. Under the command of General Jingwei, the Chinese Army usurped control of Alaska's oil pipeline and reserves. In response, the Americans had begun what came to be called "The Alaskan Reclamation Operation" (2067—2077). Under the leadership of General Constantine Chase, the U.S. Army battled fiercely to the front lines of the conflict before General Chase deployed specialized power armor units that began pushing the Chinese back. Future power armor suits were further refined as the conflict dragged on, and the Trans-Alaska Pipeline was reclaimed. With resources flowing through Canada, strained diplomatic tensions between Canada and the United States becoming problematic, and as the Canadian forces attacked the pipeline, the country was annexed. A combination of inclement weather, constant American bombardment and trench warfare, and the U.S. powered armor unit attack sweeping through mainline China, the Chinese supply lines weakened and finally broke down completely. By the beginning of 2077, the city of Anchorage was finally liberated, the Chinese invaders eradicated, and the operation had been deemed a success. A commemorative memorial was erected in Washington, D.C., in honor of the soldiers who fought and perished for the greater American good. Violence between America and pockets of Canadian freedom fighters continued throughout 2077 until the Great War obliterated almost all infrastructure, commerce, and human life."

↑Fallout Bible 0: "Basically, the Vaults were never intended to save the population of the United States. With a population of almost 400 million by 2077, the U.S. would need nearly 400,000 Vaults the size of Vault 13, and Vault-Tec was commissioned to build only 122 such Vaults.
