Could I run a Fallout game in a European locale, or is 50s americana so integral to the setting that it just won't be Fallout anymore?
Maybe Fallout's distinctive cultural vibe could have been exported to Western Europa as a result of the Marshall Plan post-WWII, turning the post-apocalyptic world into a pastiche of recognizable stylistic elements from Fallout and, at the same time, distinctive European elements?

50s Americana is one of the main themes of Fallout, so it wouldn't really be Fallout anymore. That and there's little to no lore to go on of anybody ever visiting Europe, even though there are working ships. Even then, stuff like super mutants and other mutated animals wouldn't be in, since they're a product of American FEV. It'd just be Threads but less bleak.
There'd be mutated animals. They were never canonically a result of FEV. There'd be robots and ghouls too.
Also Moriarty and Tenpenny in FO3 were both from Britain.
Have a look at Degenesis: Rebirth. Set in Europe, post-apoc societies, mutants, building stuff from scraps. It's about a virus causing the mutation though, not about nuclear war.
It's a meteor that does it. Virus came later.
Faggots will tell you you can't run it outside of America.
Ignore them.
Fallout 3 isn't exactly the best thing to use for canon though. Stuff like people knowing about or moving through the other side of the country through giant radiation storms unscathed, Jet existing in vaults and being used by inhabitants when it was made about a hundred years after the war, and other things don't exactly make it a good reference.
Do a Warsaw pact vault. They have tons of cool anti-nuke propaganda.

Seems like that just offers more wiggle room.
