What happened to the other countries in the fallout universe?

My first point is environmental and partly conjecture, the Flora has been mostly killed off by radiation, most grasses, flowers and all that stuff, instantly limiting the worlds food resource to negligible. The weather has also changed, with the advent of Radioactive storms and potential for acid rain, weather is the main motivator for life, it controls seeding from plants, movement of evaporative moisture, etc. From those two things alone one would be very safe in assuming that even isolated areas like Australia would be massively affected (be aware Australia is actually mostly desert already).

Now from my years playing I have learnt Europe was basically destroyed first with resource shortages and the massive border tensions which still exist in our own society, there may be people still alive but it it mostly a wasteland like the US.

China and I would assume most outlying countries are annihilated too from return launches and heavy radiation.

Apart from that there is no real indication of the state of the rest of the world, and to be honest I strongly doubt we'll ever see a Fallout based on any other country anyway, best we'll get is Operation Anchorage from FO3, which was fun but done fuck all to explain even how badly China was hit, all I know is China had more impacts than America so is likely more destroyed.
