Ronald Wilson Reagan (February 6, 1911 – June 5, 2004)[1] was the 40th president of the United States, in office from 1981 to 1989 in the real-world.[1] Whether Reagan's presidency followed the same path in the Fallout series is unknown.

Background[]

Reagan's presidency is mentioned in Fallout 2, stating that in February 2074, "the US economy [was] seeing [its] greatest growth since the Reagan Era." However, this information is from the Sierra Depot GNN transcript, which is an unreliable source.[2]

Appearances[]

Ronald Reagan is mentioned only in Fallout 2.

Behind the scenes[]

In the Fallout 76 update Wastelanders, the player has the option of telling Digger during the quest Secrets Revealed that "We're from the government. We're here to help." This is a reference to a popular quote from Ronald Reagan, who once said "The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help."
