I envision a better future for myself by having my own company and earning as much money as I can to live a normal life then, and enjoying my life while still healthy and having time to pursue my interests and devote to my family. I think that in 2040 it will be very different, I think that all cars will be electric, industiry will continue to develop, healthcare will be automated, and we will have robots cooking for us. What I want most of all are cars that we do not have to drive, we just choose where we want to go and the car takes us there.

I wish for a world in which the people of the globe talk to each other and act together for a sustainable and liveable future and not knock each other's heads like 1000 years ago. I want to live in a world that wants to find and seek solutions together and not in one of despots and fools and egomaniacs, as is currently the case.

I would like to see a calmer environment than before; people should live peacefully side by side and let everyone live. There should be no envious people all people will have many opportunities to live out their career aspirations. everyone should be able to afford a nice apartment in which they can look after a family. no more terror and people running amok Children should be able to grow up in security and feel safe

2040 is running. We are in Andalusia, a newly created republic that functions economically, socially and culturally as a private, self-contained region. The representatives of this region have excellent diplomatic relations with their neighbours, the other smaller regions. It has no impatience, no resentment, no envy and no false moves. The Homeland is focused on the needs of the people and works hard for the benefit of society. The biggest promise is in the economy. Large companies (companies with over 500 employees) are banned. The basis of the economy is agriculture, zanati, cultural tourism in the smaller community. The real issue is the growth of the economy. The rule is that the owner of a company cannot live more than 6 days away from the last owner. New gardens and schools are being built in the region every year, and a great deal of attention is being paid to various adult education programmes. Certain major issues are decided by referendum. The Mayor is elected every 4 years and the highest representative can only hold office for 5 years. Castles, towns and villages pay great attention to energy efficiency, so wind turbines are built and solar panels are used. There is a growing solidarity between people and the honour of spending a certain number of days a year volunteering in hospitals, schools and the environment.
