To early to write of N America. There is a huge (christian) young population in mexico for work and for warfare. Vast swathes of land, natural resources and water in Canada. Enough elites in massa who dont want a change in status-quo of unkil's corporations ruling the roost. Together they represent a mix who is better educated, with better opportunities on a system which is already established. Very high competitive advantage vis-a-vis SDREs and Cheenis.
Every (non military) powerful empire* declined due to loss of territories, or a loss of control by the "central" state to maintain cohesion of its union. None have declined by gaining territories, young populations or by forming a union by signing a document. I am sure this lesson is not lost on Unkil. But of course there are hurdles.
*I dont count the mongolian empire to be based on any system of economics.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
The key to future 50 years from now is the Anglicization of the Hispanic population and a shifting of the political center southwards. The old centers might be retained for continuity but the dempgrpahic power is shfiting towards the south. I dont mean the South.
Will discuss this in the US and the World thread.

One thing to happen will be the elevation of English from its native Anglo-Saxon roots to acquire a classical status like Latin.
