Third Russian Empire, uniting Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, all of Europe and Greenland.
• all states except the Russian Empire own a slice of Antarctica (I suppose that in exchange, Russia rules the North Pole all by itself).
That’s the thesis of Third Empire, a recently published futuristic novel by Mikhail Yuryev. In the book, Yuryev predicts that the Russian Empire will be re-created in a few decades’ time. This ‘Third Empire’ (I presume Tsarist Russia and the Soviet Union were the first and second) will obliterate the three Baltic states in 2015 and defeat the USA in the nuclear exchange that many feared for most of the second half of the twentieth century but was thought unthinkable after the end of the Cold War in the 1990s.

As a citizen of the American Federal Empire.... I am unsure as to how to feel about this. I mean it is a fiction but so often fiction is not so different from reality. Although I can not see Russia having any desire to control Greenland. I can see them wanting to shut down the UK for what its government has done over the eons but Greenland? Thats nothing but a block of ice.
Personally I hope as more things come to pass that the world will wake, take a deep examination of Titors worlds, and correct its selfish self serving attitude... And breath a heavy sigh of relife as N-day comes and goes without incident.
That is what I hope for....
but I am preparing for the worst.

Holy crap, that map reminds me of Orwell's 1984 and the world's superpowers Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia, and Africa/ME as the eternal battleground for the three powers.
Now where did I put my newspeak dictionary?
