The world in the last 200 years!

[size=12pt]This is a video from Gapminder called 200 Years that Changed the World. It shows how the world has changed in terms of wealth and health (life expectancy) over the last two centuries. Unsurprisingly, most of the “progress” was made in the last half a century. A really interesting point is when the Narrator, Hans Rosling, compares China to the US, showing just how much they’ve caught up in the last 50 years.[/size]

[size=12pt]But I digress… what’s [i]really[/i] nifty about this clip is that it’s pretty much worthy of Ted — even if it’s more about how the world has [i]already changed[/i] rather than [i]how to[/i] change it in the future. In any case, enjoy… [/size]

The future of the world; 200 years from now. It’s 2206; the world is in the midst of WW5. But how are the countries we all know doing right now?
America
The America you knew is dead. America is currently divided in half; political strife has made a Secular-Progressive America on the West coast and rocky mountains, while a Neo-Conservative America run the east coast and the plains of America. This occurred after political differences on how to handle WW4.
Neo-Conservative America has become a borderline military dictatorship. They have invaded and claimed Latin America to solve the Illegal immigration problem. Recent political uprisings have made most minorities lean conservative, so with the combination of battle-hungry minorities and rednecks, and their fierce loyalty to their country, Neo-America has one of the most powerful militaries on the planet. Their loads of oil from Mexico helps fuel their economy(oil is INCREDIBLY valuable), but their lack of universal healthcare has fueled the massive Smallpox and AIDS epidemic in their country. Also a lack of stem-cell research has made the return of Polio all the more apparent. Sadly, due to their disregard for the environment, it’s also an industrial wasteland.
Secular-Progressive America has taken control of Western America, and do fairly well. They have powerful advancements in technology due to their large amount of scientists, and with universal healthcare and open borders, it welcomes anyone with open arms. Their country is in pristine condition due to their measures to preserve the environment. Sadly, they lack a military; all they do is appease to other nations. While their population tends to live long, their homosexual marriages and free abortions has stumped their growth. Their capital is San Francisco. They continue to receive support from the motherland, Canada.
Canada
Canada has been stockpiling their military in secret. They now have merged with Secular America for medical support in their military. They are currently at war with Neo-America for it’s constant mocking of their stagnant and inferior country over the past few years. Now that their military rivals even theirs, Canada has ignited WW5.
The Middle East
During WW3, Iran was completely obliterated by the USA. In WW4, the U.S.I.(United States of Iraq) took control of the entire Middle East, save Israel, which took complete control of Northern Africa. The Middle East is now one of the most stable areas in the world, despite occasional scuffles between New Israel and the U.S.I. over land desputes. Islam has now become a peace-loving religion due to the recent recovery of Muhammad’s original teachings in Baghdad, which altered extremist views on the world.
Europe
Europe is in complete disarray due to the effects WW4 had on the region. France and Spain went under control of Anti-American Extremists, and openly condemned the USA’s and USI’s actions against Northern Africa, China, and Russia. For this, sanctions occurred against France while the war in the Pacific and in the Middle East raged on. Purely out of spite and instinct, Germany once again invaded France, and Italy invaded Spain. No one seemed to care. To this day, Frermany and Spitaly are still a part of their opposing country.
And recently revealing it’s military might, Switzerland and Greenland joined Canada in it’s war against Neo-America. Greenland has the most advance military in the entire world, but their technology only functions in weather colder than 45 degrees, and with the recent Global Warming epidemic, they can only support Canada in their country.
Africa
Africa has suffered, needless to say, in the past 200 years. During WW4, Israel seized control of the whole Saharan region, forcing Southern Africa to form one single country. They dipped into forbidden Voo-Doo and witchcraft, and to deal with overpopulation they actually raised the lost continent of Atlantis out of the ocean to dwell on. Though quickly after it was raised, the Native Americas in Neo-America rapidly invaded the country for their own, and called it manifest destiny. The country of Atlantis America has one of the most powerful economies in the entire world.
Asia
Asia has seen better days. During WW4, China, despite being a Democracy, invaded Russia and the various ‘stans to cope with their overpopulation problem. This quickly led to what would be considered our first nuclear war, as everyone bombarded Eastern China with nuclear weapons, which evidently also solved their population problem. This quickly ended the conflict, but Japan and the mighty country Korea(NK was destroyed in WW3 from ANOTHER nuclear strike) quickly seized China’s land, alongside Mongolia and other northern nations. India, the 4th most powerful country in the world(Neo America, Canada, USI, India) invaded all the ‘stans and most of Russia to cope with their population problem after the whole incident, but since they caused the stagnant countries to flourish, no one seemed to mind. Russia and China are now relatively small nations with little or no power.
Australia
Austraila recently became a flourishing nation, but to expand their land, they invaded the Philippines and Vietnam during WW4, using their mighty robot army of crazed Croc-wrestling Zoo Keepers(modeled after their lovable dictator, Steve Irwin the 5th) and armed Kangaroo killing machines. Countries that faced their army laughed themselves to death as they were blown apart.
World Events
Global Warming was not a myth, but was nowhere nearly as severe as people thought. The temperature is now about 5 degrees warmer, and while the polar icecaps melted, the water level failed to rise even an inch since most people failed to notice 95% of the glacier’s mass is already submerged, so whatever melted, only the tip of the iceberg had any effect in raising the water, which it failed to do since plenty of water has been evaporating much quicker. While bits of the ocean did evaporate, people failed to realize that the evaporated vapor actually cause large rainstorms to replenish the world’s freshwater supply. Hence global warming had positive effects on the World.
World War 3 actually emerged in 2006 when Israel retaliated against Hezbollah’s assassination of soldiers. After Hezbollah was eradicated, Iran and NK entered the war. Iran was quickly destroyed by the USA, despite being bogged down in Iraq, and NK was quickly “quarantined” as soon as they tried to receive appeasements for blackmailing to sell Iran nuclear technology. South Korea quickly invaded what was left of North Korea, and reformed the now-thriving country of Korea. By 2042, the USI was formed in Iraq and the Middle East after decades of blood and sweat, and remains to this day, a mighty ally to the USA(or Neo-America, at least).
World War 4 was a grand war that occurred in 2115, and was considered a “Nuclear War.” Several events happened at once that led to this catastrophe, including the division of two Americas, the invasions of Russia and the ‘Stans from China(and the nuclear retaliations from Neo-America, Japan, Korea, India, Australia, among other nations), the USI’s seizing of power in the middle east, Israel invading Northern Africa, France and Spain’s sanctions due to control of fanatical America-haters which led to the destruction of the U.N, Germany invading France, and Italy invading Spain. This all happened simultaneously, and was known as “The Fastest Two Years in World History”, since the chaos around the world only lasted for 746 days.
The world lies on the brink of World War 5, due to the alliance of Canada, Secular-America, Greenland, and Switzerland, bent on the destruction Neo-America and the Asian Alliance(India, Korea, and Japan). Who knows what will happen?
