Yeah, you're right about the first one. My bad. I thought he was saying that the only livable land was in the West, so Fallout had to be in the West.

Not necessarily. the western genre encompasses a lot of tropes, character types, and a generally being set in a dangerous frontier. Its entirely feasible to have a western set on the east coast. Especially a post apocalyptic western.
Someone I know just assured me that you can have a Western that isn't in the West. They provided Quigley Down Under as an example.

This reminds me of how I want a Fallout set in Australia. You would have to throw in cool Mad Max references, of course.
If they did, then why didn't San Fran? If water levels rose high enough to engulf Australia, the U.S. coastline would also be swallowed up.
What? San fran isn't a continent. It close to shore, sure, but it can be assumed that maybe, just maybe, North America didn't sink?
I imagine a region ruled by the Khans to be much more mad max-y than other Fallouts have been. Maybe perhaps this time they can actually ride horses?
Can you please stop plugging your book? Ill get to it; just give me time damn. I'm still reading dark tower tho', so it'll be awhile.
His book is relevant to the conversation because it is an example of a Western that does not take place in the West.
Quentin called it a Southern.Allow me to rephrase.
"Django Unchained partially takes place in the West but is primarily a Western which is set in the Southern United States."
