Where do You See Your Country in Fifty Years?

One can only hope:

Well us up in Canada got all the drinkable water so unless you guys stop messing up the environment you're gonna be pretty unhappy. You're gonna attack us for it? we'll hold the water hostage, using our monopoly and bargaining chip to attain goods and services. Then we'll use our jet fighter robots and solar powered psychokinesis to ruin all your stuff (cookie for the reference).

I encourage you to investigate what the Canadian government is allowing companies to do to the environment in the process of minimg oil sands in Alberta before you make any claims of moral superiority.

Any country in fifty years? Fuck, we're all going to be like zombies. Who even knows if we're still going to be alive at the rate that this economy is going.

Australia? I daresay we'll be squabbling with NZ and Argentina over who gets Antarcitca. There is 14 million square kms of land down there opening up once that ice disappears, utterly untouched by humanity.

However, I believe much of the land is rocky and mountainous - effectively useless for farming - and the soil, after all the years of glaciation, is probably as barren as a desert.

Oh noes, Australia will own an endless barren desert wasteland!

...

Yeah, not seeing that as too much of a problem. Won't even have any issue with dealing (in some sense of the word) with people already living there.

Anyway, I predict China will really get its at together and become much more of a world power, but that's not necessarily the disaster everyone seems to think it is. Instead of supporting the US invading the Middle East, we can support China invading Asia. Might be the same in 50 years.
