==2056==
=====Geopolitics=====
*The 2056 United States presidential election is held. Democratic nominee Nadia Mahsud is narrowly elected, defeating incumbent Republican President Christian Turner. Turner loses the backing of the Climate Coalition, who decide to endorses Mahsud rather than back Turner or field their own candidate. Major issues of the campaign included climate change, government transparency and Mahsud’s religion. Mahsud is the first Muslim elected President.
==2057==
=====Geopolitics=====
*In the United Kingdom, Conservative leader Max Hasan is elected Prime Minister, defeating Labour incumbent Keir Mather. Hasan is invited by the King to form a majority government. The Conservatives had run on a platform of stability, reconstruction and security following the 2052 London floods, which had haunted Mather’s second ministry.
==2058==
=====Geopolitics=====
*US President Nadia Mahsud says that the United States should step away from unconditional support for Israel and should look for other avenues to resolution. The move is controversial, especially due to Mahsud’s religion, however a small majority of US citizens now support some sort of recognition for Palestine. 
==2059==
=====Geopolitics=====
*Civil war breaks out in the Ukraine between the democratic government and a wide range of populist militants. US President Nadia Mahsud intervenes in favour of the Ukraine, sending US arms and soldiers as part of a “peace-keeping force”. In the United States, intervention in the war turns unpopular, with Republicans arguing that the Ukraine is not relevant enough to be worth the cost and some progressive Democrats arguing in general against US intervention abroad.
*The United States, as well as Canada, Germany and the Netherlands recognise Palestine as the legal authority in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. The move is met with initially negative reactions in the United States, however as the national debate on Israel and Palestine re-ignites, sympathies begin to shift towards Palestine.
*In the US, the National Popular Vote Electoral Compact is founded. The states involved in the NPVEC agree to pledge all of their electors to the candidate who wins the national popular vote regardless of if they won in that state. In theory, it allows the winner of the national popular vote to become President, regardless of the electoral college. It is initially just signed between the most liberal states, but later extends to other moderate states.
=====Technology and Culture=====
*Mass flooding in Hawaii results in evacuation from several coastal villages and settlements. US President Nadia Mahsud visits the effected areas, whilst promising to “hold the corporate mega-giants accountable”. The era of climate disasters seems to be slowly approaching an end.
==2060==
=====Geopolitics=====
*The United States involvement in the Ukraine becomes increasingly unpopular. Major protests erupt calling for a total withdrawal from the country. The Fuck the War! movement comes to dominate the news cycle in the run-up to the 2060 election. Fuck the War! manages to attract activists and populists from across the political spectrum. Major protests are held across the country and eventually President Mahsud quietly scales back US involvement in the war in the Ukraine.
*The 2060 United States presidential election is held. Incumbent Democratic President Nadia Mahsud is narrowly re-elected, defeating incumbent Republican challenger Rita Owens. The election was the first held using the National Popular Vote Electoral Compact, although it did not effect the outcome. Major issues include the intervention in the Ukraine, Climate Change and Palestinian recognition.
