Futurae Mundum is a scenario from the user Ben10fan3, predicting the world of the future.

Synopsis
In 2116, years after 2016, the world has changed from what it was 100 years ago.

United States of America
The United States of America, or the United States, is a constitutional federal presidential republic in North America. It is composed of 57 states and a federal district where its capital lies. It is one of the superpowers of the planet Earth.

Incorporation of New States
In 2024, two new states were incorportated into the US, out of former territories in the Carribean and Pacific regions. They were Puerto Rico and Guam. They are the first two states to be incorporated into the US since Alaska and Hawaii in the 1950s.

In 2036, after Quebec gained independence, Canada found it difficult to control its Atlantic Provinces (Newfoundland and Labrador, and the Maritimes). So, they were sold to the US for 30 Billion USD and incorportated into 5 new states: Newfoundland, Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Prince Edward Island.

Colonization of the Moon
In preparations for heading to Mars, in 2035, NASA created the "Artemis Project" to once again head back to the Moon. The first American Lunar Colony was created in 2038, a mile from where Apollo 11 landed, the colony was named Apollo, after the Apollo project.

Colonization of Mars
The USA landed the first person on Mars, during the Second Space Race, in 2040. The first American Martian colony was created in 2045.

Russia
The Russian Republic is a federal presidential republic within Europe. It is the official successor to the Russian Federation.

Dissolution of the Russian Federation
The dissolution of the Russian Federation is an event that took place in 2030. Notable causes involved a recession from 2027-2029, the failure of a coup after Vladmir Putin was elected for a 3rd term in 2024; which caused him to cut military funding to weaken them, and the growth of strong secession movements.

Post-Dissolution
Following the dissolution, the Russian Republic was one of the first to emerge out of the Russian Federation's former territory. It was one of the larger countries to emerge, spanning most of "European Russia". Being the official successor to the Russian Federation, it held on to Kalingrad, Sakhalin, and the Kurii Islands, which were sold to Germany and Japan respectively. Crimea was also given back to Ukraine, which loosened Russian-Ukrainian tensions.

Involvement in the Second Cold War
It sided with China and the rest of BRICS, it was particularly involved on the European front against NATO.

China
The Republic of China is a semi-presidential constitutional republic in Eastern Asia. It was re-established in mainland China in 2055.

Mainland while under PRC rule
Gradually over the 2010s, Chinese-US relations deteriorated, this effectovely caused the US to become less reliant on China for exported goods, this hurt the Chinese economy slightly. Over time many conflicts arose such as the 2023 skirmish of the South Chinese Sea. In 2025, the government relieved restrictions on the number of children per family. By 2030, with the Russian Federation collapsed, the PRC became the dominant force of BRICS.

Second Cold War (2035 - 2051)
In 2035, the Second Cold War started between China (and their BRICS allies) and the US (and their allies Japan, South Korea, the Phillippines, Australia, and NATO)

Second Space Race (2037 - 2046)
A resultant of the Second Cold War was the Second Space Race involving the colonization of Mars.
