Timeline: Nova Aetas.

== Premise. ==
The aim of this future history concept is to be a history that is both realistic and entertaining at the same time, by holding a balancing act between these two elements. By doing this, I want to make a full-fledged universe, with new countries, factions and events forming. I plan to draw a complete timeline of events from 2024 to 2225, and potentially beyond. I also want to put considerable focus on space colonization, as it is a very interesting subject in my opinion. I also want nukes to be gone, so new laser technology will make nukes obsolete by the 2060’s.
== Ages. ==
=== Hegemonic Age, 1991-2020. ===
This age would be marked by Pax Americana, as the Soviet Union would collapse in 1991, leaving only one world superpower left, that being the United States. The army part of this period would see complete domination of the world by the USA, with no country on earth being powerful enough to stand up to it. Despite this, America would still face a number of troubles, with 9/11 and the Failed occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan. These occurrences, combined with strong sentiment across the world that “America should stop being the world police!” would make America seriously consider isolationism for the first time since WW2.
=== Volatile Age, 2020-2055. ===
America would begin to retreat from world politics, a trend which would only intensify following a failed rebellion by the left, the American Cascade. Climate change and economic recession would rock the world, and Russia and China also begin to decline due to demographic collapse. This era is notable for the Indo-Pakistani War, which would see the first true nuclear exchange in history occur, the collapse of NATO, as America would disband it, the Brazilian Civil War, and the Saudi-Iranian War. The Moon would also see its first permanent residents call it home in this age. (please note that after this point on, everything becomes uncertain, as this is the only part of the timeline I’m close to finishing currently) 
=== New Gilded Age, 2055-2088. ===
This age would see the world recover from the previous age, as Climate Change would largely be fixed due to new technologies, and the world economy would slowly begin to improve. France, India and an ASEAN follow-up league would become major powers during this time, while Germany, Russia and Canada decline, as the first two have stagnating economies and Quebec becomes independent. America becomes slightly less isolationist, but never fully returns to international politics. Mars sees its first residents in 2058, and Asteroid mining begins to become a major industry. This era would be marked by the War of Frost and Fire, a 4 year long war between Russia and Serbia on one side, and almost all of Eastern Europe and Turkey on the other. Andea, a union between Peru and Columbia, would also form here.
=== Intersolar Age, 2088-2116. ===
The colonization of space kicks into high gear from here on out, with Venus, Callisto and Ganymede all receiving colonies. The Moon would reach a Population of 1 Million, followed by Mars then by Callisto. By the end of this age, more than 10 Million people are living in space, and migration from earth is only accelerating as people seek new opportunities. However, on earth, a mild recession takes place, although it is not as bad as the Volatile age recession. France would lose its status as Great power, but forms a European Bloc with Poland-Ruthenia. Andea expands across South America, with Chile, Bolivia and Venezuela joining its ranks. America would fall to a Socialist government (not sure if this is canon yet) and Africa becomes fully industrialized. Russia would also completely collapse.
=== Utopian Age, 2116-2142. ===
This age would be marked by truly incredible living conditions across the whole planet, as poverty is at the lowest it’s ever been, trade with the Astral Provinces is at an all-time high, and most diseases have been cured. Andea becomes a great power, winning a war with Brazil (maybe), China regains its great power status and The European bloc becomes so unified it blurs the line between an alliance and a country. However, all is not as well as it seems, as tensions are rising across the globe, the Astral provinces are making governments so rich that hyperinflation begins to wreck economies, and Interstellar warfare becomes commonplace, with every major country operating primitive warship fleets in space. The world is a ticking time-bomb, and it will go off.
=== Warfare Age, 2142-2165. ===
The First and Second Interplanetary wars occur. First, Andea and America declare war on each other. Soon, Europe, China and Iran have joined the Andeans, while the Volga Republic (A Russian Remnant State), Turkey, India and Australasia join the Americans. The war is an Andean-European-Chinese victory, however the peace is shortlived. The Second interplanetary war begins as Andea and Europe turn on each over disputes in America, as both sides want the American remnant state to be their ally. Andea, Azltan (American splinter state) and Brazil fight Europe and Australasia. Andea wins, but the back to back wars cause their economy to completely collapse, and they fall apart less than a year after the war ends. The world is turned into a ruin, as war has devastated the world. However, as a power vacuum is formed, and new countries will inevitably fill it.
=== Rediscovery Age, 2165-2202. ===
From the ashes, multiple new states form. China, only having to face one of the two interplanetary wars, becomes a Continental Power across Asia, as India has been Balkanized, SADO has long since disbanded, and The Russian and Central Asian rump states are no match for China. A Islamic state expands from North Africa into the Arabian peninsula, taking Mecca and Medina, and starting a new branch of Islam based on Scientific progress and rejection of Fundamentalism. A Central African state becomes a major power, having industrialized 80 years ago, and with entirely new philosophies. The Americas are divided between five major powers, America, Azltan, The Andean Loyalist State in Columbia, Brazil, and a Peru-Argentine Union.
=== Early Extrasolar Age, 2312-2346. ===
FTL Travel is finally realized with the Alcubierre drive, two massive rings that encircle a spaceship, and can distort space time in way that makes space in front of it much smaller and quicker to go through, and space behind much larger and slower to go through. This allows spaceships to travel about One Lightyear per 2 Weeks, putting Alpha Centauri just two months away, and Tau Ceti, the nearest sun like star, six months away. The Major powers now begin a scramble for nearby solar systems, with colonies being established at a rapid rate.
