The difference appears to be that their is still a reasonable level of hope to changing said world, even in the small picture situation. Latveria or Hell will never get better because there are evil lord ruling over it specificly aiming to keep it that way. However the Skyrim or the Fallout universe's version of the US can both be made better, the worlds there are not broken because an evil person is making them bad and keeping it that way, the world's decayed state is due no one willing or able to put in the effort/resources. A world where things could get better but up to the point shown in the story has only had bad happen to it.
