Latvia, EU, UK and others 15 years into the future

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

Europe is getting ready to federalize, with big autonomy for the current member states, and life couldn't be better. Latvia (the member state where this future idea comes from) has went ahead and become more liberal and open-minded following a victory of a coalition of liberal parties in 2038 Saeima Elections, and so did nations such as Serbia, Hungary and others following their respective elections. Investment into projects and social support is at it's highest point in 30 years, following full introduction of Rail Baltica, due to which the economy is at it's highest peak, higher than the one Latvia experienced after increased investment after joining EU in 2004, 36 years ago. The far-right rise of 2020s has decreased up to a point where parties as Vlaams Belang (in BE), Latvija Pirmā Vietā (LV), Fidesz (HU) and others do not register support higher than 2, maybe 3,5%. Northern Ireland and Ireland unite together - bringing the long history of division to an end; Scotland and Wales (after becoming independent), Ukraine (with the 1991 borders) and Sakartvelo (after a successful revolution against the georgian dream government in 2024-2025) join the EU. England is starting to reconsider Brexit, and starts reforms needed to rejoin the EU.

Futur régulé
In the future, we would be assisted by artificial intelligence, but not replaced by it. We would work in harmony with it. We'd have good salaries, and new technologies would enable us to travel fast without polluting as much as an airplane. We'd be able to visit the world, guilt-free and without destroying the planet. Every culture would have its place and be free. Wars would no longer exist. A universal law, or at least a legal text, would define rights, duties and punishable crimes for the whole world. These laws would be voted on universally by all the world's citizens. Voting would become compulsory, in the form of monthly questionnaires for which we would be given time to make individual decisions. This time could also be paid for, to ensure that every citizen of the world is involved in global and local decision-making. It would also be permissible to have laws adapted locally, and to move to the area where the law suits us. This zone would be managed independently, and the laws applying to it would apply only in that zone. Prisons would also be better managed. Prisons are places of punishment, not relaxation. There would be many more of them, to have more room for all types of crime (perhaps zoned by crime) so that justice could be properly and fully applied. As for healthcare, a great deal of investment would be made in research into as yet unknown treatments, enabling us to cure more and more illnesses.

United in Diversity
In 2040, I would like to see a future where cultural diversity and inclusion are at the heart of every community in Europe. Imagine cities where people from all backgrounds, languages, and traditions come together to share ideas, collaborate, and celebrate their differences. Schools would teach multiple languages from an early age, not only to help communication but to promote understanding of different cultures. Technology would make it easier for people to connect across borders, creating virtual cultural exchange programs where students and professionals could collaborate on projects.

Vivre en harmonie
It's 2040 and I'm 81 years old. My life has been full of sorrow but also joy. 2025 conflicts of all kinds in the 4 corners of the planet, violence, climate change ...... Happily, in a burst of intelligence and love, human beings have understood that the most important thing in LIFE is LOVE and EMPATHY. We live in a peaceful world where everyone is paid fairly, resources are preserved but above all distributed equally No conflict, no hatred, no discrimination, we live in PEACE and HARMONY. Science has made enormous progress and most diseases have been eradicated. I'm happy to see my children and grandchildren living in this new world!

Un monde bienveillant
It's 2040, and 10 years ago, elected representatives finally became aware of the problems that human beings bring to the planet. Everyone has worked, and continues to work, to make our presence less harmful to the planet, its flora and fauna and, by extension, to future generations. Another point of awareness reached: intolerance and discrimination. From now on, malicious acts based on discrimination of gender, sexual orientation, skin color, religion, culture or any other kind will be severely punished. Of course, this would not have been possible without an enormous overhaul of an inefficient and corrupt judicial system. We now have a world that wants to be fair, although there's still progress to be made, but the will is there whereas it wasn't 20 years ago. It's a world that has become predominantly benevolent and that has regained, and above all restored, hope in the future.
