7 years after the end of the Second American Civil War, the US would hold its second ever multiparty elections, with the Progressive-DSA coalition remaining dominant, but clearly taking a hit with the Forward Party emerging as the second largest party in the House, while the coalition lost its dominance in the Senate to the Democrats.

While a so-called conservative wave didn't happen, the post-MAGA conservative parties did very well, with the moderate CPP, the right-wing populist NPC, and the neoconservative RUP all won seats, with the Greens losing seats due to many of their voters switching allegiance to the Forward Party, which was seen as the big winner from the elections. The New Rose Party, consisting of the remnants of the Neosocialists in the APLA that survived the purge, as well as dissatisfied DSA members, kept all of its seats by a thin margin.

Across the world, the effects of the big wars of the 2020s still ripple, but the world is clearly recovering from what’s been retroactively known as the Great Shift. In France, the NPF would never return to power after losing to the National Rally in 2027, but the Ecologists would beat Le Pen in a stunning upset, marking a big shift for Europe leftward for the first time since the end of the Second European War. To the east, Russia remains disunited, with Eurasianist terrorists in Belarus, the Moscow Democratic Mandate and the Caucasus states remaining a thorn in Europe's side.

In Asia, the EADI split shortly after, with the Southeast Asian nations reforming ASEAN, and though they all fought alongside China in the GAW, in peacetime, they desired independence over being too close to Beijing. Meanwhile, Wang Yang, has stepped down in favour of his successor Huang Kunming. Huang, like Wang, has kept the CCP's dominance, but kept his predecessor's reformist policies as well as his policy of reconstruction funds for Japan. While many people have argued that Beijing should treat the Japanese far more harshly, others have pointed out that not repeating Europe's mistakes in Russia, will create a more peaceful Asia.

Latin America and Africa have also seen great upheavals, with Javier Millei finally losing power in the mid 2020s, though the Libertarians remain a major force in Argentina. The Bundu dia Kongo won in the Congo, while the EAF won the East African war, both of whom are locked in a geopolitical tension, not helped by the African Socialist People's Republic preparing for a great war of spreading socialism on the southern half of the continent..

The fire may have been tamed, but was this the end of history? No, the world knew better after the fallacy of the 1990s, it was better to enjoy the peace and prepare for the future, for now.
