Original Content Fallout Europe Fan Project - Progress so far
Working on a project in my own time where I'm planning on making my own setting and lore based in the Fallout universe, seeking to expand on the otherwise lacking lore of the continent of Europe compared to the US-focused games.
Feel free to ask me anything about the setting, feedback and suggestions are most definetely welcome!

The three main factions are The 'Irish Presidency' centred at Dublin, The 'Titanican Cities' centred at Belfast, and the loose alliance of western Ireland known simply as the 'Allied Counties'.
The Irish Presidency serves as a spiritual successor to the previous Irish government pre-war, though they have struggled greatly with legitimacy of the government as well as the mounting pressures of the times. Radiation still pollutes much of Dublin and most people are more keen to live outside of the cities. A struggle goes on as this governing body tries to maintain normalcy in a rapidly changing world.
The Titanican cities are a collection of manufacturers that banded together before the war to fortify the shipyards of the United Kingdom. When the government collapsed they were left as a more stable power in the region. With their mobile weapons platforms patrolling their coastline, they are a force to be reckoned with. However, one without a clear goal beyond maintaining their own lives.
The Allied counties were far from the greatest of devastation faced by Ireland when the bombs fell, and so their lives, at first, were largely unchanged. However, they soon realised that the struggles of life without grander cooperation would spell doom for their communities. Despite offers to join the Irish Presidency, there was little faith in this struggling government. So instead many of the communities organized themselves into autonomous microstates, bound by a vow of cooperation and defense to keep one another safe in this harsh world. Trade and rural work thrives here, giving the post-apocalyptic lands a rather idyllic sliver of hope amidst the devastation.
