  • Left behind and forgotten. That is the fate of those stranded on foreign soil after The Great War, most have long since perished, others can be found waiting patiently to go home, and in rare cases, they have disbanded to create new lives...

      @@void-master9077 Really wasn't necessary though. Once power armor and fat man launchers started rolling out the war was heavily in america's favor. It's a shame really. Well yes it was a war, it began to take a dark turn when the US decided to invade china rather than seek diplomatic options after successfully defending itself. But that was likely due to the enclave's influence within their government and absolutely did not try to seek a long term option that would benefit the american public as a whole. Probably thanks to their cooperation with vault tec. Which would make even more sense if by Epicnate's word is correct and that they did infact initiate nuclear war. Meaning the enclave was planning on the world blowing up.

Did some live to build a "little america" like the Shi did, or even US army ghouls still fighting what's left of China's people to continue the fight after 200 years?

      I'm pretty sure with China's megacities getting wiped out that they've been reduced to nomadic tribes of ghouls and cattle herders, with CCP remnants vying for power while the remaining US power armor troops continue the war efforts, slaughtering the few remaining Chinese people. If the East Coast BoS was willing to nuke the Institute for basically nothing, I don't see why U.S. power armor soldiers wouldn't be hunting Chinese for fun.
      edit: I wonder what they call Yao Guais in China, if they even have them...also I'd love to see the rise of a nomadic horse rider culture taking over like the Mongols or the Huns.

      They wouldn't be hunting CCP remnants "for fun".
