2022 - The successful invasion and control of the Middle East by the
United States of North America results in global energy nirvana for
the world's population. Poverty and hunger are eliminated worldwide,
but the citizens of Madison Wisconsin continues to debate the use of
Spanish as an official second language. President Halbert announces
the first International Cigar Festival in Havana, featuring the aging,
but still foxy, Miley Cyrus.
