If you mean post-war: no.

Pre-war, there are some tidbits. The Soviet Union still exists, not having collapsed like it did here, though it's obviously not the greatest power behind the US anymore, that role having been taken on by China.

A number of European states (unknown which) merged into the European Commonwealth. At the time of the great war in 2077, they had been at war with the Middle East (the "Resource Wars") for about two decades.

Canada was absorbed into the US as the 51st state prior to the Great War.

I think that's about it, tho'. You can look up this kind of stuff in The Vault

Odds are it'd probably look about the same around most places with the exceptions of vaults and such.

I don't know, i expect China was in a similar state to the USA, but it does specify in the FOBible that it may not have even been the Chinese missiles that did all the damage, meaning that some American missiles could have done some of the damage, lessening the damage done to China.

Other countries may have gotten into warfare, but i don't see why the entire world would have done.
 
Wouldn't that be a great scenario to explore further, in a future installment of the game, or a mod. The exploration of the impact of the nukes, on china....or just going to china via a point lookout like barge(or a junk)..chinese power armour sounds kick arse...yeah okay.

Heh, I would like to see a river barge or junk make it across the Pacific Ocean.

You know, I could totally see Beth pulling something like that off. Perhaps not in a boat, but in a rocket-powered jet or zeppelin, because "all previous games are canon".
 
There were a few people in Fallout 3 who apparently crossed the Atlantic; Moriarty, Tenpenny and few others I think.
 
As long as bethesda is doing it, i am not intrested, they simply dont have the necessary skills to make a decent RPG , let alone make a decent fallout sequel and define canon without it becoming idiotic.

All capable countries launched their nukes, and most of the world was nuked, not just China and the US.

Some canon and less canon quotes:

Fallout intro:

In 2077, the storm of world war had come again. In two brief hours, most of the planet was reduced to cinders. And from the ashes of nuclear devastation, a new civilization would struggle to arise.

Fallout 2 intro:

The earth was nearly wiped clean of life. A great cleansing, an atomic spark struck by human hands, quickly raged out of control. Spears of nuclear fire rained from the skies. Continents were swallowed in flames and fell beneath the boiling oceans. Humanity was almost extinguished, their spirits becoming part of the background radiation that blanketed the earth.

Jesse Heinig, one of the FO1 designers:

One of the recurring themes of Fallout is that life will find a way to continue, albeit often under great struggles and with violence and suffering. It's not unreasonable, given this notion, to presume that U.S. remnant forces remain in parts of China, just as remnant Chinese elements are in the U.S.; and that other countries are similarly ravaged and war-torn, with survivors crawling out of the rubble. If Australia was untouched by the war, for instance, then presumably after 200 years they would have projected their powerful industrial presence and comparatively high population all around the globe to take control of any remaining resources, and the Enclave would find itself locked in a war with the Aussies. It's likely that some underpopulated parts of the third world escaped the full brunt of nuclear devastation, but since these would have been low-population unindustrialized areas anyway, they are not exactly in a position to take advantage of their "good fortune," such as it is. (I don't imagine that many nukes were wasted on the Sahara.)

The very first Fallout 1 timeline by Scott Campbell and Brian Freyermuth (from which all other Fallout timelines in existence are derived):

Other countries, seeing the US's missiles on their way, fire their warheads as well. What ensues is two hours of nuclear bombardment upon the earth's surface.

Killzig: What ever happened to the catholic church in the FO universe?

Tim Cain: I think it was nuked - the vatican that is.

Emil Pagliarulo:

Tenpenny Tower was slightly inspired by Fiddler's Green, the skyscraper in George Romero's Land of the Dead. But it was also an opportunity to introduce another character from outside the U.S. Allistair Tenpenny came to the Capital Wasteland from Great Britain to seek his fortune, so that alone tells you that the U.K. was also hit in the war. And if he came to U.S. to succeed, that says a lot about how screwed up Europe must be. So we just allude, a little bit, to the state of the rest of the world.
