In 2025, the war in Ukraine ends and it becomes a member of NATO and the EU. Britain returns to the union and adopts the euro. Moldova, Armenia and Georgia (Georgia) are taking the European course. EU defence is becoming a concern for the whole EU, there are no national armies, there is a common EU army - young people can choose where to serve (at home or in another EU country - a kind of exchange). The euro is introduced throughout the EU. Transportation by train, boat and ferry is improving, thanks to the use of green energy. Public transport is plummeting (the route network is expanding) to encourage people to give up cars. Europe's independence from foreign markets is increasing (production is returning from underdeveloped countries to Europe) and domestic consumption is increasing, similar to the US. A completely new union is being formed with the US, and cooperation with Russia is slowly starting (there is no dictatorship in Russia, it is on the path of democracy).
In many areas, there is more freedom and Member States have greater rights to solve problems where they occur (subsidiarity principle) and the "Brussels dictatorship" disappears.
