French Canadians will successfully lead a successionist movement for Quebec. The rest of Canada will finally realize that they are really just Americans, and all of the remaining provinces will join an expanded USA. In this time, Puerto Rico and Guam will also become states.

Saudi Arabia will experience a violent revolution and the new government will be the Islamic Republic of Arabia. Pakistan, Iran and Syria will, through growing internal and regional pressure, transition into modern democracies. Afghanistan will remain a relatively screwed nation, but literacy will rise to a whopping 50%! Janine Garofalo will convert to Islam. Israel builds a 30' high wall, and grants Palestine independence. Palestine joins the EC. Israel joins NAFTA.

Pakistan and India resolve the Cashmir issue, and live in Peace. China almost starts a world war over Taiwan. That part of the world remains basically as is.

Africa will form a free trade area, but have little success moving forward until the EC removes agricultural subsidies. Africa will then become a boom region. France will go out of business. All will rejoice.
