Capital Wasteland

The Capital Wasteland is the general name given to the ruins of Washington, D.C. and the region surrounding it.

A once verdant and populated area of the U.S, the Capital and its surrounding countryside received significant nuclear bombardment during the Great War. As of 2277, the area is little more than a scorching, barren desert where life for its inhabitants is a constant struggle for survival. It stretches from Raven Rock in the northwest to Rivet City in the southeast, with what's left of the Potomac River dividing it roughly in two.

It serves as the game-world for Fallout 3.
