Its 2035
>Mexico, Texas, and most of Latin America as well as the deep south and most of the great planes are part of the democratic successor to the US. Gun laws are basically don't point your gun at people, violent crime is at a all time low as cartels act more civilized as common criminals are treated like the vermin they are.
> The Pacific Northwest is now akin to the Soviet union as mandatory "community labor" is now mandatory as the logging and mining industry run off of "community labor". Despite all the platitudes of anti racism and etc... The society is so segregated that people flees south to Mexico or the remnants of the US.
> The northeast is now the fascist society from demolition man. Despite it being a tolerant society causing offense is considered a huge social taboo. Comedy must be woke, inoffensive, and "wholesome". One must have permission from the state to procreate and technocrats run the nation.
> Canada has been decimated by economic collapse as well as civil conflict. Much of western Canada is engaged in Taliban style conflict aided by Russia and Alaska. Meanwhile eastern Canada is a centrally controlled state.
>The Russian federation now speaks at the UN building and considers their nation the true leaders of the free world. Russian leadership has raised a competent generation and ended alot of brain drain with better economic and immigration policies.
>Great Britain is still a financial capitol as the far right and islamists agree to make homosexuality a crime again.
>China collapses USSR style as the CCP loses its grip. Xi as a leader is able to manage the collapse and retire to his villa near Wuhan. The government rebrands as a republic and Taiwan is now acknowledged as an independent nation.
>Japan goes through a period of mass immigration. Gajin districts become commonplace as mostly Americans and Canadians have emigrated to Japan. Gaijin often work dirty and grueling jobs for shit pay. Despite the cultural difference's Japan becomes the world's number 2 economy again and the gaijin form an almost permanent underclass designed to do shit jobs.
> The EU France and Germany go full military style and begin a campaign of pacification as Italian terrorism causes serious issues for the EU army.
>Bonus notes Facebook and it's metsverse has died off while a virtual reality grand theft auto USA game has become the largest social media website. Google is now the world's most hated company whole Nestle had rebranded itself as a caring company as I recent years it's become a great company to move into third world areas.
