The Capital Wasteland

Location from Fallout by Interplay / Bethesda

The irradiated ruins of Washington D.C., where the shattered monuments of American democracy stand as tombstones over a savage wilderness — every faction in the wasteland wants to claim what these symbols represent.

Also known as: D.C. Wasteland, Capital Wasteland, DC Ruins, The Capital

What They Know

• The Potomac River is heavily irradiated and home to mirelurks that nest along its banks
• Pre-War emergency broadcast signals still loop on certain frequencies, sometimes masking distress calls
• The water supply is contaminated — Project Purity at the Jefferson Memorial is the region's only hope for clean water
