What part of Fallout lore pre-bombs is important to the post war world?

Okay FO community I have a big question. I have played fallout 3,4,new Vegas and 76, I have a pretty good understanding of the lore and a pretty good idea of the lore from the state provided. and I have already looked on the lore sites, but I think there is nothing better than hearing theories from players.

My question is...based on all the lore in the games and released by creators....what would the role of Georgia be in the buildup to the great war? I mean historically Georgia is a farming state with most of the colleges focusing on agriculture and a lot of the state used for farming or ranching. I imagine the state would lean into that more and be aggressively in research and development of agriculture.

second questions (came to me while typing this lol) What would happen physically to Georgia? like I know in the lore ATL was destroyed and became like a legend for being cursed, but like topographically what would happen to all our water? according to simulations on https://nid.sec.usace.army.mil/viewer/ if the dams on the savannah river all broke it would flood the whole southeast of Georgia, but there is no real information available about middle GA if our hydroelectric dams break...any theories?
