A united Europe with a strong economy and army, independent of the USA and strong enough to withstand external influences. After a civil war in Russia, it is shaped by the West. Much has been done for the climate and people are doing well in a world where everyone benefits. Cars with new technology characterize the streets. Health care is of a high standard and housing is affordable for everyone.

After the difficult and agonizing years of arch-conservative majorities in Western Europe, citizens and governments are reconsidering a different possible future. But hundreds of thousands of people on the streets and younger and fresh politicians have made this happen. The standard of living in Western Europe could not be maintained, but it has stabilized and thus reduced the fears of many people. Advances in hydrogen and fusion technology have prevented energy prices from rising exorbitantly. Eastern and Western Europe have come closer together and agreed to jointly exploit Ukrainian resources. Political and economic unrest in Russia has caused a further partial disintegration of the Russian Union. North Africa has calmed down somewhat and is looking to the future with more optimism. Now that the USA no longer supports Israel on a massive scale, Israel has to conclude a ceasefire and, after tough negotiations, finally make peace with its neighbors. The reconstruction of the regions around Israel is co-financed by the oil states, which want to profit from a calmer region.

After the short-term shift to the right in politics in 2025, people realized that hatred and intolerance were NOT the right choice and came to the conclusion that understanding each other is the only way to a happy future. It has finally been recognized - without pressure from politics - that the oppression of minorities and exclusion are not acceptable in living together on this planet. The new German government and the EU have now "picked up" all citizens who felt misunderstood and have been able to persuade them to work towards a common future. And last but not least, it should be mentioned that economic interests and nature conservation have also reached a common level and a win-win situation due to people's insight and technological development.

I hope I'll still be here in 15 years' time My ideal is for everyone to be rewarded for their efforts, and for all human beings to live in their own countries But one very important thing for me is that lazy people should not be paid at all.
