United States

The USA is one of the more powerful countries. Yielding a history smaller than 300 years and a fluxuating reputation. The USA is indeed the core of technology to this day, Japan is the only country which is actually trying to put the USA in 2nd place on the technology scale.

The USA remains a power, But it had its share of bad times, like most countries it had a civil war in the past. Now that the 8th-generation video game consoles have come out, Americans are trying to influence the goverment, The USA will still remains a good mark in the world, and is the home of many companies which have become world-wide companies, including Google and Microsoft.

The USA has had 44 different presidents and visted in numerous wars in those less than 300 years (Actually, less than 250 to be exact!).

With 50 states and a 51st one around the corner (also excluding territories), Will the land of the free finally succumb? Or will it?

American Revolution
During this, American president, George Washington wants to make his own country as independent, they had enough convicts that were sent by the British, the people were under a dangerous time, during this, American soldiers were reached into the winning. The Thirteen Colonies became independent, calling the nation than Thirteen Colonies, the people called it now as The United States of America.

The First World War
In World War 1 the United States was in a good position to intervene. They could: Help The Central Powers, help the Triple Entente (UK as well), Or stay neutral. In the beginning of war, US took a neutral stand as the US foreign policy was that US won't intervene with Europe and Europe won't intervene with North, Central or South America and the US experienced the Great Depression. United States decided to keep it's trade open for the both sides of the war (Centrals and Allies) but later on The US decided to enter the War and help the Allies.

The Second World War
In World War 2 United States followed their old foreign policy of not intervening in Europe's affairs. Another thing keeping US out of the war was the Great Depression which still existed after the profit gained from World War 1 was spent. US did take non-military action in the beginning of World War 2 by putting Japan in oil and iron embargo because Japan didn't leave China (Japan invaded China). Japan was forced to the extremes by this and to keep their war efforts going, Japan decided to plan an invasion of Indonesia, which was under Dutch control. This plan didn't only include Indonesia: to secure the shipments from Indonesia, Philippines (which were under US control) were to be taken as well. Japan planned an attack against US Pacific Fleet which was situated in Pearl Harbor. Japanese navy and air force thought that the whole fleet would be in the harbor and were shocked to realize that most of the US fleet was gone. The US was angered about the attack on Pearl Harbor. The US was forced to enter WWII in favor of the Allies. The US ended the war by dropping two nuclear bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and after that, Japan surrendered.

The Cold War
After the Allies won WWII, Germany and Berlin were split into 4 occupation zones (The US having occupation zone of its own). The Soviets wanted more power and decided to make nuclear weapons for themself and got the blueprints from some people who were part of the Manhattan Project (United State's nuclear program). The USA saw this as a threat and decided to keep creating it's own nuclear weapons to show its own supremacy over the rest of the world. In Cuban Crisis, US president John F. Kennedy was able to avoid all-out nuclear war with the USSR. The Cold War ended with Germany being united and the Berlin Wall falling down.

Post 9/11
The US is now concerned over Syria. And the people are unhappy about the Video-Game companies DENYING their requests.

Future of the United States of America
The USA's future is the most important part of life, If it falls...We could all die since the USA did stop a Nuclear war from beginning. The Mappers post thier thoughts here:

(The sad thing, ArceusFan2013 refuses to post his futre of his home country, sad isn't it?)

The United States would most likely lose it's place as the richest country in the world in 2020s. But it's best profession would most likely be military. If the Anti-Gun Laws weren't established. Then knowing Americans, almost every American, soldier or not, would fight and die for their country. So as a fighting force and with the right to bear arms, America's total fighting force (including civilian population) would equal to about 50 million to 100 million.

Unless the United States goes back to being an isolationist-like country and let the middle-east solve themselves. Then United States could fall internally and the states would be thrown into the harsh world. It would also be domino effect. ALMOST EVERY COUNTRY would be thrown into economic distability without American support.

As the resources runs out, America would most likely use the middle-east or force Mexico to give up their oil properties to the United States. Despite having a system that could fight corruption, The United States could become a twisted mockery of it's former self.

Another unlikely possible scenerio starts out with this: We all know that this Generation of the United States (Generation Y and/or Z) are full of Bronies and would likely take over the country, changing the American identity.

(Personally, I am so patriotic that i could rather die than to leave the United States...Plus prices here are cheaper than European and European related Countries.)

The US will likely lose it's Superpower status to China by the mid 2020s providing their Economy remains as it is

Their allies will probably abandon them soon enough as they keep Spying on everybody, including the allies' own people.

The United States of America will stand as the western superpower for as long as they don't go ruining their economy even more. If United States wants to keep being "the good guy", they should stop being complete morons and start minding their own business. There will be two possible courses of action: 1) US keeps it's place as the western superpower and doesn't intervene in others businesses or 2) US keeps intervening and ruining their already bad reputation which could lead into political conflicts and US allies leaving.

USA is the most powerful country in the world, economically and military. In 2020, the chinese economy will surpass the USA's economy (but not military). Then, the USA will be a less powerful country, being the third in 2040 (behind India). I think that some rebellions could happen in southern states (Texas, Arizona, California and New Mexico), specially affecting the spanish population there, which can join Mexico, but USA in the future keeps it's place as a global superpower.

United states are doomed. They are right now passing their collapsing state. The most likely senario is that some states gain independance, and the rest of the sates go to being a seconday power (like soviet union)
