The Commonwealths - Fallout Wiki - The Vault

Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!

Prior to the Great War, the United States had an intermediate level of government between the state and federal powers. The nation was divided into thirteen commonwealths. The United States flag was changed as well. Accordingly, the new flag depicted thirteen stars - twelve in a circle and one in the middle.

Okay I like Fallout and the whole "Great War" story is fascinating, but they should have done their research better when it came to the Commonwealths. Arkansas and Texas would never unite. Oklahoma... maybe. I definitely approve of the Californian split from Socal. We definitely have more in common with Oregon *coughs* Portland, and Washington *coughs* Seattle, but Idaho and Montana would get along better.

But if they were dividing states, they might as well divide AR diagonally southwest, to northeast. SW AR has more in common with Louisiana and Mississippi than Missouri, or Oklahoma.
