Let's go to 2050 for a moment. There are no wars left in the world. There is abundance in every country. There is no income distribution problem, poverty is almost over. Boundaries between countries have been removed. All production steps that require muscle power are made with real robots. Robots even design works of art. All unfinished symphonies, novels, scientific works and films are completed by artificial intelligence. He who wants immortality is being cloned.
Turkey is one of the rare countries that has established a colony on the Moon. A global power that has overcome environmental problems thanks to space mining. One of the few states that has created its own blockchain. Earth is a peaceful planet. The population has dwindled to half of what it is today.
