Basically, anywhere in the world that didn't have a nuke dropped directly on it has been decimated by fallout. Kind of like Point Lookout, no bombs landed but the water and air are poison.
i agree with all your answers but I pose one conundrum:
In Fallout 3, Allistair Tenpenny claims he came from England to make his fortune. How did he get to the US? The only way one could live long enough to have access to a working plane or a boat with enough supplies to go solo from england to the US would have been to be a pre-war ghoul.

As I recall Europe was divided into a bunch of rivaling and squabbling nation states each seeking to control what limited resources were left. That left the only two major powers in the world as America and China. And with the effects of a full out nuclear war, who knows what far reaching environmental impacts there were with the fallout and radiation.
Assume the world has been blown to shit, it makes the most sense.
Fallout 3 isn't exactly the best in terms of following Fallout lore. I don't even really count it as a "true" fallout game. Not because of the gameplay, but because so much of the lore was, well ignored or butchered.
After 200 years I don't think anyone will have an accent that thick.
I've also read somewhere that Bethesda's intention was to have the game take 20 years after the bombs drop. Which would make lots of things in the game make more sense. They changed it because they wanted to put Harold the tree in apparently.
200 year old boxed food thats still edible? Yeah, I don't buy it.
Also what confuses me is Moriarty's accent.quake52 said:

It's been stated that the whole world was, if not completely decimated, at the very least largely reduced to a state similar to that of the Capital Wasteland due to the massive fallout from the nuclear Armageddon. The condition of the land in Point Lookout is arguable about the best anyone could expect, at least in the continental United States. Europe or Australia or somesuch might be more habitable, but I doubt we'll ever know.
My friends and I have determined perhaps small areas in Europe, some islands, and the poles should be okay. But other then that...nah we're done for
