Capital Wasteland

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

Because it was the former capital of the United States of America it saw heavy bombing during the great war, making it one of the most inhospitable wastelands in the ruins of the continent.

Plenty of wastelanders hail from this corner of the world.
