A united Europe again, with the UK back as a key player. But with far less burdensome regulation and more equality and respect amongst nations. A realisation that education is the bedrock for a stable and successful economy with major investments in teaching methods, learning from what works elsewhere rather than constantly trying to reinvent the wheel. Technology has been reined in to be of more use and peoples understanding of it's capabilities is enhanced by proper education,

Unfortunately, the view is quite sad. The Kingdom of America and the Tsar of Russia, as well as the People's Republic of China, dominate the world and exploit the rest of the countries. Europe has failed to build up a counterbalance in time, because it was too busy with itself, the right-wing populists have a large share in it. Moreover, Europe's states have not been able to create leaders, as small-town and selfish policies have left no room for leaders. Now you pay the bill with raw materials and patents as well as a population at the subsistence level, similar to Africa and Middle East. Self-driving trucks, AI in simple areas and centralisation have ensured that not even 30% of the European population can still work in any way. Jared Trump the 1st and Tsar Vladimir the 2nd enjoy life in their tourist areas Gaza, Crimea and Cancun............ The poles are freed from ice, drinking water costs as much as gasoline, and an extensive desert area stretches around the equator.

There will be no wars in 2040, but peace, visa-free and visa-free travel between all European countries. Rail Baltica will be built so that you can easily travel between European countries. There will also be four-lane highways in Latvia and air traffic will be more developed. There will be a lot of solar panels and wind parks - green energy. There will be a lot of electric cars.

In Latvia, a generation of politicians has changed and those who have come to power have an understanding of the economy and business. Stronger powers and responsibilities have been transferred to municipalities, which prepare and take their decisions together with citizens' interest groups. Rapidly developed technologies and Latvia has become one of the leaders in the development of biotechnology and IT from the country of transit and deforestation. As a result, the standard of living of citizens is even slightly above the EU average. The education system has radically improved, with both advanced teaching methods and tools and strong parental responsibility for children’s performance and behaviour. Latvia has become even greener despite the EU's "green" policy, which is now doing more harm to nature than it does because it is based on false reasoning about the causes of global warming. Europe has freed itself from economic migrants, religious and political radicals, unnatural 'progressive' and aggressive neighbours, using both motivation and, where necessary, methods of force. Latvia has joined the European railway system, which promotes both freight transport and inbound and outbound tourism.
