I'd love to see how the rest of the world fared after the war. Europe especially seems set up to recover decently well, all things considered. Not only does rebuilding after wars, plagues and societal collapses make up the majority of Europe's history since antiquity, it also was too busy with its own struggles to get involved in the war between America and China, or make grandiose self-sabotaging plans like the Enclave.
With relatively few direct nukes (only targets of opportunity by other nation states or indiscriminate bombing by America/China) large parts of society would have survived the event itself. While already short on resources and now even shorter on time, they would have had enough time to at least somewhat prepare for the coming nuclear winter - re-establishing the disrupted communications, archiving knowledge and preserving crops in case the fallout ruins current harvests beyond repair.
You'd see Europe largely regress into smaller communities of survivors, comparable to the fractured feudal landscape of the middle ages. However, with knowledge preserved, the end of the immediate nuclear winter would jump-start new growth, quickly returning Europe as a whole to a pretty functional state, all things considered.
It would still take them the first century after the war until they can even consider making any attempts at re-connecting with the outside world, between disputes among nations and the slow establishment of new efficient power sources. Eventually they send out their first scouting parties, especially to their cousins in America. However, between the Enclave's manipulation and the dominant faction's stubborn pride (and to varying degrees internalized xenophobia) they make it very clear that these scouts are not welcome on American soil, preventing any other serious attempts for quite a while.
Could make for an interesting faction for a future Fallout game: A European high-tech exploration ship off the coast of the region, trying to get an image of how America fared these past centuries. As the player you can decide to help them establish outposts (and inadvertently undermine the local power structure because the population flocks to these new amenities) or you side with one of the local factions and try to seize their advanced tech for yourself.

I love the 1950s - the architecture and Art-Deco style, the clothing - men pretty much always wore suits and women wore dresses - the cars, men smoking fine pipe tobacco in briar pipes, you name it. I wish that we were still in the 1950s style as the alternate reality in the Fallout series.
Before the bombs dropped, natch. Not interested in giant roaches and Deathclaws.

Walking out of that vault in Fallout 3 for the first time was one of my most exciting moments in gaming.
