In the year 2050

[scotland_no1]

we have a raging nuclear war and everything gets blown up, the few remaining humans stay underground until the year 2250 and when they arise they see beautiful jungle paradises and forest everywhere, and no more big bad cities polluting everything, we go back to thew minimalist and make lots of small farming settlements in each desert oasis and each town will ahve no mroe than 50 people, the human race doesnt create andy more bad cities.

Cardiff will win the Champions League for the 40th consecutive year (at least).

England will finally realise their national side is incapable of competing and indeed lifting the world cup or any major international trophy.

by 2050, the Nova roman republic rises from its (current) status as micro nation, creating a new Roman repubic, with reformed constitution, the new empire incoperates the former United States of America, the European Union, Russia, Canada, Australia,Brazil, Mexico, and South Africa, Turkey, and Israle voluntarilly, through war, the remaining territories of the Old Roman empire are re-won, and gains made all over the world.

Oil is made obsolete, with exception in regard sot plastic manufactering- the new Empire war that gained control of mesopotamia is seen as a mistake, but nobody is about to press the empire ot give up the territory(Iraq, but set aside a "vassal" state to the kurds so that they could have some degree of Autonomy, and thus save the empire from what was sure to be considerable annoyance)

the Palestinian problem has been solved as if they tried anything, the NR Legions would be sent in

atheism gains ground on scietific principals, till everybody learns that the old Roman religion makes more sense then either Atheism, or Monotheism dose the Roman empire is thus re-emcoperated terirtorially, and culturally (well, at least religiouslly)

in repsonse to the great new Roman imperial democratic-republic, other areas, including South America, Africa, Some Asian states, but in paticuler Middle eastern states, all form Federrated unions of thire own to resist Roman agression

first semi-permanent science colonies on mars are built, leads to industrial complexes on planet, eventually leads to a terraforming project.

asteroid mining, and use as penal colonies is investigated.

moon becomes the next disney land attraction

In 2017, the Ark of the Covenant is found in Ethiopia. The Israeli's force the Palestinians out of Jerusalem and rebuild the temple. The Ark is placed in the temple.
In 2007, in Canada, a man named Xavier Davie is born. By the time he is 27, he is leading the Greens Party, noted for they're pro-Marijuana stance. In a series of manipulative moves that makes Hitler look like Jimmy Carter, Xavier Davie becomes dictator of the Americas. He forces people to get tatooed withh '666' and all the other fun stuff the Anti-Christ is supposed to do.
Then in 2050, what appears to be the great battles of Armageddon are fought in the Valley of Jehoshaphant, and the plains of Meggido.
After the Israeli forces are destroyed by overwhelming force, Jesus comes down and says, 'Don't mess with the Red, White, and Blue! These colors don't run!'
Turns out that Jesus is a Texan and a rabid anti-semite. But the ACLU sues him and he sees the error of his ways, granting free entrance for every living thing into heaven, even those in hell after the ACLU tags him a an 'anti-Sinnerite'. Everyone is nice to everyone else for eternity.
Except for supporters of Manchester United, and supporters of Arsenal. They get in to a few fights every so often.

The US passes new laws stating that English and Spanish are the official languages, as appeasement to end the Second Civil War (Eastern States vs Western States, Mexico, and Cuba over water access and language differences). The US is also dealing with massive debt accumulated from the public's abuse of welfare and medicare(or medicade, i don't remember which is which) and from the Civil war and subsequent occupation of Cuba, Mexico, and parts of Canada.

Quebec formally splits from the rest of Canada, leading to US annexation of the Maritime and Western Provinces.

India and China, after optimism of rapidly growing economies, are hemorrhaging due to over population and outbreaks of diseases. Much of Asia is in the same boat, except Thailand, whose people are nearly wiped out from AIDS. Widespread migration to Siberia and Australia results. The Confederation of Asia (COA?) is formed to help fellow asian nations cope with their problems.

The EU is broken apart forever after war breaks out in the balkans and political alliances and embargoes rip it apart. Many European nations are stuggling with debt from the massive costs of social welfare, and re-armament in opposition to the US, Brazil, and The Confederation of Asia.

Brazil gets its act together under a talented and driven president and becomes a world power after turning much of latin america into its sphere of influece. Only after defeat from European and American forces and their support for internal resistance to Brazil does it's power begin to fade.

The Middle East is divided up by India, Isreal, the US, and the EU. Large scale Civil wars and the depletion of oil leads to the gradual withdrawal of the above nations (except Isreal).

Africa wallows in Civil War and disease. A widespread outbreak of Ebola causes world wide panic and a quarantine on nearly the entire continent, further leading to it's decline.

Australia becomes a predominantly Asian nation after massive migration there.

Russia is divided up by the EU and China after the collapse of the government under pressure from internal strife.

The first research labs are set up on Mars and the Moon, but no further settlement has been openly pondered.

Worldwide food shortages, disease outbreaks, and climate change all compound problems. Oil is depleted and hydrogen power is widespread. Plastic is now synthetically engineered. New advances in AI, robotics, and genetic engineering leave a possibility for prosperity in the future.

Taggart Transdimentional Incorporated becomes an actual corporation and creates a monopoly on all ore mining drills, raising the price to about 5 million dollars for a single drillpiece, causing world economic meltdown.

california gets sunk after the great quake. all the islamic terrorist die after they tamper with a nuke that they planned to bomb isreal with and it blows all of them up. after the great war China, USA and india are in ruins. Indiana and Kentucky are the only states left in the USA, but they decided to become separate nations. Kentucky gets destroyed after they are conquered by Iraq which is consiquently the strongest nation in the world. Indianapolis becomes the US capitol and our superior knowledges tells us the the presidency is redundant so we all take turns being president(each person gets to be pres for a month, the perks of the job are a new car and all the white house interns you want). half of europe is destroyed by hmm lets say a meteor. Hawaii and Alaska(which became independant before the great war) decided to attack Canada, Canada's forces(3 hockey players and a big block of ice) are ran over by the allied attack. The kind aliens from the planet killh umans bring peace to the world and earth becomes a paradise

Nanotechnology is an average, everyday thing. People are immune to almost all known diseases. After the patient swallows a pill with billions of nanites in it, the machines go on patrol, killing viruses and disease. Also, world hunger is solved by replicator nanites. By manipulating individual atoms, nanites can triple a farms produce overnight.

Israel signs a 7 year peace treaty with Palastine. Meanwhile a new Secratery-General of the UN and Pope come to power. The Secratery General is European and the Anti-Christ. The Pope is also in leauge with Satan. The Pope commits blashphemey on a daily basis, basicaly what he is trying to do is make Christians look a horibble as possible. More power is given to the UN almost to the point that it is the sole world govenment. The US and Israel being intolerant of such actions, withdraw and ally with each other. The UN is kicked out of NYC and, relocates to either Rome or Geneva. In every nation under UN control, all religions are slowly being melded together to form one singular world religion.

Once the Ark of the Covenent is found, it is all over. Israel will invade whichever country it is in. Then the Temple will be buit in 3 days. Worship resumes imediatly. Israel kicks all Palestinians out. This enrages the Arab countries. Israel goes on a quick offensive, and easily wins huge victories, and amounts of land. Virtual all of the Middle East is under Israeli control. Then the UN steps in on the Arab Side. Russia invades Israel by horseback. Israel falls back. Jerusalem is taken. the Secratery General sits in the Temple and decales that he is God. Soon after the battle of Armagedon occurs at Meggido.

If you have noticed the US has had no involvement in the war, as they normaly would. There is an explanation. Some time before the Ark of the Covanent is found, the Rapture occurs. The current President, Vice President, Speaker of the House(all Christians), along with many Congress men, other government officials, and much of te US population(many were converted durring the 3rd Great Aweakening), including Puglover and I(sorry Xen, you get left behid because you're a Roman). Those remaining are consumed in chaos. Anarchy ensues in the US. Soon after the US falls off the world stage, consumed in tis own internal affairs.
