The world in 50 years (mature audiences only)

The world will be divided into five factions.

- the West

- The Nation's of Islam

- China and her Asian Sphere of Influence ... Central and southern African colonies.

- The Russian/ Indian/ Eastern European Alliance

- Japan/ Korean Alliance


The balance of the world... Mexico, Central & South America will devolve into a ferel black hole, a No Go Zone that will be heavily militarized, and factionalized with no effective central authority or ability to project power externally.

"The West" will be composed of what was the U.S., Canada, EU. Britain. Australia. It's form of government will be best termed a technocracy run by a board of atheistic industrialist billionaires. Towards the end of this period, the former counties of the West will be no more than vassal states of China


China Zone of influence will be basically all of China, Southeast asia, Indonesian, etc.
A modified version of the CCP will retain control.

The Russian/ Eastern European/Indian Alliance will be strictly a military alliance with the counties retaining political Independence. Those being Russia, Poland, India, Rumania, Serbia.... former eastern european EU members.

The Nation's of Islam will be an Islamic Theocracy that runs from West central Africa eastward through Packistan. North through Turkey.

Japan and Korea will be going it alone, due to their ethnocentic
Identity. They will probably constitute the closest thing to democratic republic rule remaining on earth.

For you average middle class american looking forward a couple of generations, the probable best bet might be a mass migration east to eastern european / Russian area. Aa these nation's have diminishing populations, they might welcome us. And our presence might prompt a liberalization of their political system, and also complement their more conservative social / religious values.
