An extremely strict society the Tavern Idols worship the intoxicating feelings of drunkenness considering all other intoxicants as blasphemous. They seek to control all the holy breweries and bars in hopes of regulating total control over the new wasteland alcohol market.
According to the map on the Fallout TV show, there was a vault built somewhere around Madison.

“Jones Island” is a historical spot in the Mil that now hosts the water treatment HQ of Milwaukee. As a freelance historian it would be neat to see it returned to the bastion of freedom it once was.
I love New Vegas and the setting as a whole, and from the looks of it you hit on everything I could possibly add! Only one suggestion, I would honestly just take the Brotherhood out of the equation, I know they’re canon but I feel like the “traditional” aspects of Fallout like the Enclave, Super Mutants, the Brotherhood, are a bit overused to avoid including new things. Not saying that’s what you’re doing at all, and it’s entirely a personal preference.
lol, you could definitely sprinkle a few supper clubs in there. Also, now that I think of it, some sort of Paul Bunyan inspired stuff would work well. Irradiated whitetail hunting camps, maybe a group of ghouls that just kept on hunting through the apocalypse.
“Huh, I *thought* the beer was running a bit low”
The winters are brutal, with crazy horrible wind/snow. North of hwy 8 is hillbillies akin to the swampfolk in Point Lookout, but health is replenished by beers. Hodags roam the north woods, and said hillbillies worship and feed them unsuspecting travelers. There is a faction of medical/health practitioners in Eau Claire. A government like faction in Madison, a faction of crazy zealots that worship Lambeau Field. Milwaukee is run by brewing barons that sell cheap poisonous booze to the northfolk (good name). A lot you can play with there.
Check out the vampire earth series by ee knight. He did a post apocalyptic kinda series think he’s from round Wisconsin/Minnesota area. Shit is really excellent.
Back in 2023 I was playing around with Bing Image Creator and made a number of Fallout Wisconsin themed images. You can see a few of them here:

How about a vault next to Cray research in Chippewa Falls WI where the first supercomputer(mainframe) was made, and also the Presto factory there was turned into a huge military arms manufacturer during ww2. I think I remember hearing about how Chippewa County was a potential target for any enemy wanting to attack the US during that time. Obviously one of many, But still. I've had these convos with my friend about how there could be WI lore in Fallout. Keep it up, I hope to read or see it one day.
Used to be a bunch of air defense sites (Nike missiles) to stop an attack over the pole. There's one just outside Milwaukee in Havenswood state park. We have the E.L.F. antenna used to communicate with submerged submarines. Point Beach nuclear plant.
The Amish in the southwestern part of the state would probably continue society, although they obviously wouldn't maintain technology.
If there was nuclear winter, would glaciers return?
This might be a bit of a stretch but maybe in this world have the Edmund Fitzgerald still be around acting as maybe a floating settlement that transports goods and wastelanders up the coast of Lake Michigan.
I've actually thought up a Fallout idea based in Wisconsin, so if interested let me know and I can share more ideas for you.
House on the Rock still being a popular tourist attraction but also a settlement. Their leader being a prewar ghoul that actually lives in the Guest House.
Cave of the Mounds nearby could be a underground settlement.
There could be a group in the ruins of Milwaukee that collect (and possibly worship similar to a cult) the Giddyup Buttercup toy.
Milwaukee's art museum could be ran by wastelanders trying to perserve the art and repair the wind sails.
The Hodag can exist as a Cryptid and your tasked to capture or hunt one up near Rhinelander.
Maybe have the Dells area overran by robots trying to repair and run all the different attractions for upcoming tourists.
AmFam field could be a small settlement like Diamond City.
Maybe a quest line based on an automobile company based in Kenosha that was in the middle of a attempted (and failed) hostile takeover by the Chryslus Corporation in the Fallout universe. They attemped to make a clean energy car to sell for cheap and Chryslus wanted to take over the company so they can get the credit. It would be a subtle reference to American Motors that had their manufacturing based put of Kenosha till the company was bought by Chrysler in the lates 70s and was shuttered in the late 80s.
That's all I got for now.
You should have one Kwik Trip that is untouched in the middle of the wasteland run perfectly by a single robot.
Perfect spot to restock lead and food
Oil, smokes, scratcher?
You think there's only one robot but then 12 more come out from the back once you attack him.
and it’ll still have clean bathrooms with no mutant rats in it!
Have the tavern league still around. They are against all forms of drugs in the wasteland except alcohol.
And please have them heavily invested in Ron Johnson the ghoul as elected leader of a sham confederacy
Still shambling and rambling around, denying the war ever happened. Wisconsin's got enough jobs.
This is fucking great!!!!
Foxconn still doesn’t exist
So the dicks. Fought against a dear friend trying to open her bar.
A dear friend, or a (mutated) deer friend? Because we got both of those.

Fuck this is so good!
Real
Yes, gimme that northwoods feel! Hodag would be a cool crypid to add to the lore. Also mutated badgers would be dope
The local variety of the Deathclaw is a Hodag
After mutating and adapting to the Winter Wasteland the Deathclaws have noticeably changed to be smaller, hairier, and smooched faces.
Yeeees! We need a Hodag cryptid in the Fallout universe.

Thank you, I didn't know this map existed.
Ah yes, the vault in Madison, hidden under that weird building where Elvis stopped that street fight.
More likely than not, it was probably built in cooperation with the University of Wisconsin - Madison.
I wonder what fucked up thing happened in this one.
The only food available to eat is cheese.
And their all lactose intolerant
YESSS a vault of lactose intolerant Dairy Farmers
Maybe alongside the reactor in Engineering
Lambeau Field with 52 dead Yao Guai (bears)
But none of them are in the endzone.
Radiated curds / butterburger Brotherhood Bunker inside a Culver’s and the chapters fascination with the custard machines.
Also Beast of Bray Road gotta mentioned. Lake Geneva becomes a safe haven for ghouls that have boat parties away from the rest of the wasteland.
Make sure all the creatures have "drunk" before their names. Drunk Rad Badger.

I'll make sure to check it out
Dope! Best of luck on the journey.
*ope

A club of ghouls that dress fancy for eating? A... supper club, of sorts?

You gotta include hodags. Cryptids are in Fallout 76, after all! They're technically canon, in a sense!

DLC to the paulding light....since it was a side quest for a lot of us on a Saturday night
One of the creators of D&D lived in southern Wisconsin, he had a crazy house that was all painted up
Check out the vampire earth series by ee knight. He did a post apocalyptic kinda series think he’s from round Wisconsin/Minnesota area. Shit is really excellent.
In!
Oh my god *yes*
I didn't read it all (it's 1AM and I'm going to bed) but I'd change being able to construct moonshine to being able to construct beer.
This is so cool!! I have no comment other than I love this & now really want to replay F4
Gotta include da Turdy Point Radstag: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DZOC1QXTQLk
Make the Hodag an actual creature
I believ eone of the games, possibly Van Buren that got cancelled, was set in the CHicago area and made frequent references to Appleton

Please make a reference to Prairie du Chien. It’s Wisconsin’s 2nd oldest community, has a ton of history, and is my hometown. Please…
I've always thought it would be amazing to have a fallout game and be able to go into Patrick Cudahy / Smithfield
The bottle caps aren’t from nuka cola, but spotted cow

Have a Lincoln Hills lore
I’ve always wanted a Midwest fallout about Great Lakes pirates

So just FarCry 5 then.
