European Commonwealth
The European Commonwealth in Fallout is equivalent to the real-life European Union. The reason I chose Europe, aside from it's rich history and art, is because it is the most plausible candidate in terms of places outside North America that would work with Fallout. I must admit that a game taking place in China or the Middle East would be very unlikely, just because there are so many factors that Bethesda would have to consider (the massive cultural differences for example). However, the European Commonwealth seems like a compromise; it is not too culturally distant from America and it would also provide an excellent change in environment. Europe's condensed size would permit the player to traverse across entire countries (just to give you an idea, France is smaller than Texas). This will allow us to see innumerable cultural landmarks, something which was absent in Fallout 3 and New Vegas. The sheer variety of European architecture would also be featured; from the Gothic-revival architecture of England to the quaint Renaissance structures of Italy (Can you even imagine a post-apocalyptic Venice?). Europe has been relatively untouched in the post apocalyptic genre, making it a prime choice for Fallout 4.
