Europe is a continent on Earth, linked to Asia and seperated from Africa by a inland sea.
Countries that make up Europe include...
Europe is mostly continental, with the exception of the United Kingdom which is composed of islands.
Europe has a temperate to cold climate suitable for humans. Like the rest of the world, Europe also experienced several Ice Ages from the distant past to even the year 5000. (DW: The Ice Warriors, The Talons of Weng-Chiang)
Famous natural beauties in Europe include the Switza, the Rhine, the Danube, and the Black Forest. (MA: Managra)
Europe was also home to many early Earth empires. These include the Roman Empire, the French Empire, the British Empire, and the Soviet Union.
Europe was involved in both World War I and World War II, both events being inadvertantly caused by the Nemesis statue passing above Earth. (DW: Silver Nemesis) Events in the wars include:
During the later 21st century, after other wars had been fought, most of Europe was reorganized into the Eurozone and was left only to fight with the United States of America. (EDA: Trading Futures)
By 2118, both Europe (whether it was no longer the "Eurozone" or not is unknown) and America used Africa to grow food for their populations. (NSA: The Art of Destruction)
In 12005, Europe may have been the home of the New Roman Empire. (DW: The End of the World)
Europe is the continent on planet Earth that houses the seat of government for the United Federation of Planets, in the city of Paris, France. (ST novel: Articles of the Federation)

The European Commonwealth is the Fallout universe's equivalent of the real-world European Union, which has integrated into a single state-like entity (although it is not known which European states were its members; the only confirmed member was the United Kingdom).
In 2052, Europe was heavily dependent on oil imports from the petroleum-rich states of the Middle East and responded to rapidly rising oil prices that were damaging its economy with military action, starting the terrible global conflicts that later historians simply lumped together as the Resource Wars.
The outcome of this conflict suggests that unlike today's EU, the European Commonwealth possessed a unified military. Some time after the war ended, as the Middle Eastern oil fields went dry in 2060, the European Commonwealth dissolved into quarreling, bickering nation-states fighting over the last remaining resources on earth.

Real world counterparts to the European Commonwealth that originated during the Cold War era are the various European economic communities:
The Soviet Union in the Fallout world probably had its own sphere of international influence, which very likely was the same as the Warsaw Pact (of 1955) and Comecon (1949) which led to Soviet domination of Eastern and Central Europe. If this domination was replicated in the Fallout world, it could effectively limit the eastern borders of the European Commonwealth (members of the Warsaw Pact included Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and the Soviet Union). However, though it appears that the Soviet Union did not collapse in 1991 in the Fallout world as it did in our own reality, neither did it seem to still present the same danger to the interests of the United States by the late twenty-first century. Instead, the Communist power that was Washington's primary rival for world influence by the year 2077 was the People's Republic of China. As such, the Soviet empire in Eastern Europe may also have collapsed or voluntarily been relinquished by Moscow long before the Resource Wars began. While the Soviet Union may still have existed under a Communist government in 2077, it probably was no longer a government that intended or was capable of threatening the United States and its democratic allies, perhaps because China represented a common enemy.
The European Commonwealth is mentioned only in the Fallout intro and the Fallout Bible. Products from European manufacturers appear in nearly all Fallout games except Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel.
The concept for a pre-Fallout "Resource Wars" game is set in a collapsing Europe (during the European Commonwealth's invasion of the Middle East) and is one of the games that J.E. Sawyer would like to make if he could do any game, regardless of money and developing time[1].
Europe is one of the seven traditional continents of the Earth. The true home of Grand Theft Auto is in Europe, or more specifically in Scotland, part of the United Kingdom. However, the games are always released first in North America, probably due to the larger number of people expected to buy the games there, as well as it being the home country of Rockstar Games.
One European country noted for it's censorship of the GTA series is Germany. Since Grand Theft Auto III, a number of changes have been made to the games. Some of these include the removal of blood, weapons, prostitutes, and even missions.
Europe is home to a number of video game rating systems, each of them giving varied ratings to GTA games. While these countries use the PEGI system, their own ratings boards still exist, and it would appear that some games are still rated by them for whatever reason. They include the following:

Europe is the world's second-smallest continent in terms of area, covering about 10,180,000 square kilometres (3,930,000 sq mi) or 2% of the Earth's surface. Of Europe's 48 countries, Russia is the largest by both area and population, while the Vatican is the smallest. Europe is the third most populous continent after Asia and Africa with a population of 710,000,000 or about 11% of the world's population. However, Europe's borders, and population are in dispute, as the term continent can refer to a cultural and political distinction or a physiographic one.
Europe is the birthplace of Western culture. European nations played a predominant role in global affairs from the 16th century onwards, especially after the beginning of colonization. By the 17th and 18th centuries European nations controlled most of Africa, the Americas, and large portions of Asia. World War I and World War II led to a decline in European dominance in world affairs as the United States and Soviet Union took prominence. The Cold War between those two superpowers divided Europe along the Iron Curtain. European integration led to the formation of the Council of Europe and the European Union in Western Europe, both of which have been expanding eastward since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.
