Uptaded version of 2064. Some aspects of OG BRIHW has been retconned,some has been not.

At some point in the near future, the Chinese invade Taiwan on November 12th 2021. While there are calls to avoid war, it was only avoiding the inevitable. World War 3 begins. Initially, it is not so destructive. But as time grows on, the Russians are able to smash into Europe.

The US at the start performs rather well, but the Chinese in the end were able to defeat the US in open ocean battles, sinking many US carries in the south China sea, leaving Japan vulnerable to Chinese invasion after South Korea falls to the North. The Finns manage to put up a good fight against the Russians but eventually, it is not enough. Western Europe and its army proved too soft for the Russians.

Eventually the Russians and Chinese win in the war by 2024. The treaty is eventually signed and the third world war ends. Various territorial gains are made, while the US still fights on in desperate attempts to preserve its pride and image. The United States eventually retreats into a series of presidential crisises and civil unrest following the third world war. Various states break away, most notably the west coast, with direct Chinese influence, being the Pacific People's Republic.

The United States government under Biden had failed to deal with the uprisings and was overthrown by Richard Kale, a former Space Force military leader at the ripe age of 34. His movement persuaded a mass amount of followers. While other hard core liberals, socialists and others were quickly put down forcibly. Because of this, many former movements were overtly banned and crushed under the technocratic jackboot. This was enough to persuade most from rising up against them.

The Southern states saw an rise in white supremacist activity with many disillusioned veterans joining various hate groups dotting Dixie. The beliefs of these groups varied group to group on issues such as economy and racial issues. Regardless, different opinions on issues could be tolerated. Dissent could be not.

PPR was not originally intended to be a socialist regime but a reaction against the increasingly opressive Kale goverment of Washington D.C. This would change later on as CPUSA's Pacifica branch would emerge victorious in the 2042 elections.

Under Kaledale's rule, America quickly became a totalitarian state where nearly all aspects of life were controlled by the government. The "Free" States of America referred to the concept that America was now free from elitist and partisan rule, in which America was now under an efficient and highly organized government.

The AmNat (American National Technocratic Party) Party then began to eliminate all political opposition and consolidate its power. Kale became dictator of America by merging the three branches of government and replacing the office of President with "Pro-Consul". A national referendum held 31 August 2048 confirmed Kdale as the sole leader of America. All power was centralised in Laledale's person and his word became the highest law. The government well coordinated, technocratic, nationalistic, and heavily militaristic.

In the wake of the Second American Civil war, the AmNats restored economic stability and ended mass unemployment using heavy military spending and a mixed economy. Using deficit spending, the regime undertook a massive secret rearmament program and the construction of extensive public works projects, including the construction of new roadways, and public infrastructure. The return to economic stability boosted the regime's popularity.

Unlike other fascist regimes, this heavily authoritarian ideology advocated for the removal of racial boundaries and to remove all aspects of racial, ethnic, and cultural division by any means necessary in order to create a well organized and efficient state under the supervision of the AmNat party which consisted of a group of highly specialized individuals that had expertise and specific fields of economics, social policy, and otherwise. These groups of individuals serve as Kale's board of directors, for he would make the final decisions the board of directors would agree upon. Propaganda Minister Edward Brown made effective use of film, mass rallies, online products and Kale's hypnotic oratory to influence public opinion. The government controlled aspects of art, and business and would remove "Degenerate" impurities from them, banning and strictly regulating some, while greatly promoting others.

From the early half of the 2040s, United States made increasingly aggressive territorial demands, threatening war if these were not met. Most notably these territories would include various pacific territories that were seized by other countries such as China. What brought the most controversy was the claims over the secessionist state of PPR. (California, Washington, and Oregon).

The borderlands of Utah and Nevada were declared "Reconstruction Zones" alongside the Rust Belt and the Dixie states. This was mainly to rejuvenate their economies and infrastructure,but also to prepare against a impending PPR military operation.

The rest of Latin America ranges from China's primary American investment Mexico to Brazil who has adopted a similar regime to Laledale's and is rapidly innovating in science and technology,however playing both sides of the war for maximum profit for itself. Venezuela is an overtly Communist dictatorship and Suriname is a Chinese puppet state. Both of these regimes have seen massive investment by the Chinese and often host Chinese submarines and troops in secret, while Peru is supported by the Russians in order to get a foothold on the continent, bolstered by an loss-bitter Japanese diaspora. South America may be host to future events.

In Europe, the Russian State reigns supreme. Following their Success in the Third World war, the Russians would re-gain most former Soviet territories in Eastern Europe. The peoples of Eastern Europe were especially tough in putting down and the Russians currently deal with terrorist movements in those regions. Further attempts at Russification have been made. The Russians were more than happy to claim Russian speaking regions in Kazakhstan.

CSTO branched out to rest of the USSR during the Third World War and they were able to strongarm the former EU members of Finland and Norway in the dying days of the European Union. Gone are the days of the welfare states that dwell within the Scandinavian nations, that has been suppressed. Iceland, Greenland and Denmark were also torn away from the influence of the west. These nations now resemble modern day Poland, if anything in our timeline is comparable.

Former Warsaw pact nations were brought back into the fold of the Russian Bear, electing Russian style regimes while a much smaller version of East Germany has been created as well as a regime in Austria. The CSTO in Europe is where the Russian bear is constantly busy with dealing with terrorists, protests, and other such things behind the scenes. The new KGB is the most feared organization in the entire world due to this, rivaling even Laledale's Secret Police.

The rest of the CSTO across the world are various allies of Russia. Such as the majority of the middle east, to other major powers in Africa. The alliance is formalized. An attack on one is an attack on all - borrowing a page from NATO's gravestone.

The former European Union nations that made it unscathed in comparison to their neighbors have found themselves traumatized by the third world war. Their former welfare states and liberal democracies are gone, replaced by military run regimes that have increased the authority of their governments to deal with the threats outside their borders. The EU is dead. Long since has it been replaced by the European Concorde - lead by France.

France has taken the lead role of Europe following the dissolution of the United Kingdom and the destruction of Germany's honor in war as well as its economic power that still hasn't rebounded since the third world war. The European Concorde is host to a unified military, and all the things the EU dreamed about except for democracy and peace.

Power dynamics have also seen immense change in Africa. South Africa was over-thrown by Chinese supported African Revolutionaries who then invaded its neighbors and proclaimed the People's Republic of Azania. Initially a staunch Chinese ally,it has since severed all ties to China,citing the neo-colonialism happening on the north as a betrayal of the liberation. In all endeavors, it seeks to remove all 'imperialist' influence in the continent while blissfully unaware of its own crimes.

The Russians are here too, supporting the Congo, Morocco, and Egypt against the majority of the Sahara which is bought out by the Chinese one way or the other while tribal conflicts continue to spill over as usual. The Russian and Chinese supported regimes are at each other's odds.

Seeing the future of Africa under European and Asian influence,the East African Federation was formed and influenced its neighbors. A homegrown movement, it also seeks to bolster Africa to a major player in world geopolitics within Africa while without being hypocritical in doing so. Due to a lack of allies abroad, its advancement has been entirely self forged yet slightly behind that of its neighbors.

The Middle East is where the Russians truly shined - supported by their Iranian and Arab allies, the Israelis and Saudis were crushed. The Saudis eventually shattered like glass into many rump states that can't hold a candle to the Russian allies that surround them. Even the communists in Arabia are a failed experiment from the Chinese that hold strong...somehow.

Asia is firmly within the Chinese Sphere of the Belt and Road Initiative. Korea has been re-unified by DPRK,which has gone to slightly open up to the world. While rosy on the surface, this new Korea is nothing but a puppet state...just like all of the others in Asia in all reality.

All throughout South-East Asia and Oceania Chinese nationals have spread and invested within their respective nations. This has greatly developed these nations at the cost of near total subservience to the Chinese and their economic system. An Chinese supported Afghan regime,one very simillar to the Soviet occupation,rules Afghanistan. This new state,with the newfound peace,has found the opportunity to recover from the two-decade long civil war.

India is forced to co-operate with China following WW3. India is relatively unstable. Protests and riots are quite frequent. The Chinese have spies in nearly every avenue of their puppets and allies abroad. Life is decent, if you are loyal and don't question the state of affairs. Step out of line and you'll find your ability to get a job increasingly difficult, continue to do so and you will mysteriously disappear.

Australia and New Zealand have abandoned all ties to the British Commonwealth. The Union Jack hasn't been a thing for decades. While these two may seem like the most free on the surface within the BRI, the truth is - they are not. The only parties that really win elections pro-Chinese ones. Australia and New Zealand are frequent destinations of Chinese tourists and business.

Antarctica was formalized into an international condominium following the Antarctic Treaty being disbanded. It is now completely dominated by the Russians and the Chinese. Some American bases are here, but China and Russia have the majority of the control here.

Military technology has rapidly advanced since the 2020s. Laser and focused beam weaponry is the norm, while any bullet based guns are extremely fast and efficient. AI is used in the military such as Jets, Tanks, and even androids. Enhanced body armor and vision technology is also the norm in the military. In these days, the draft in most nations is a thing due to the volatile peace of the world.

In nearly every avenue technology has progressed rapidly beyond expectations such as AI that surpasses human intelligence, Supercomputers held in your pocket, completely autonomous vehicles, highly advanced rocketry and design, and so much more.

The internet is mainly limited between various spheres. The American Sphere consisting of Laledale's Regime, Brazil, and Quebec, the Russian Sphere (extending to the CSTO), the Chinese Sphere (Consisting of the BRI), and the rest of the world. Face to face communication over the internet here no longer involves texting in most cases - mostly holographic communication and other such technologies.

Laledale's regime has abolished the imperial system and 12 hour time. 24 hour time is mandated. Each nation has its unique quirks ranging from America's focus on energy, to the Chinese focus on security, and Russian focus on information. Fossil Fuels are largely phased out across the world thanks to renewable energies and thorium nuclear plants (of which America has plenty).

The Outer Space treaty was disbanded as well as the UN. In the UN's place is the Confederated Union of Nations, which has thankfully adverted a fourth world war multiple times. Nuclear Bombs have been largely discarded in place of bombs of equal and greater destruction minus the radiation. Neutron Bombs.

Orbiting stations around the Earth are commonplace, thankfully the Americans lead the effort to remove most space debris from orbit which cleared up a massive new market for orbiting stations. Most nations nowadays have at least one or two orbiting stations, while the great powers have upwards of 10 each.

The Moon is host to a large population of humans. The Russians and Chinese have the most bases, the Americans have their own towards the rear side of the moon far away from prying eyes. Some say Laledale is working on a superweapon of sorts,but nobody knows what it is. The Moon is also host to automated helium-3 and resource mining.

Mars too is also host to a few bases as well and many automated missions have been sent there. All of Mars is officially claimed by human nations as is the Moon, with the superpowers receiving the Lion's share of both worlds. Besides Mars and the Moon are the Asteroid belt and the Inner Planets which have been receiving increased interest. As per Laledale's ambitious plans, orbiters and probes have been sent nearly everywhere in the solar system to increase humanity's knowledge.

The year is 2068. History is history. What happens next?
