Space Era (SE)
The Space Era (SE) begins on July 20, 1969 old calendar (AD or CE) with the landing of the first men on the moon. This is Space Date (SD) 1. Year 1 begins at the equivalent 1.1.1970. The SD continues counting from July 20 and is 1.65.2 where the last number is factor of 10 multiplier or 1.65 X 10^2 or 165 days. Years can be converted by adding or subtracting 1970 so that the year 2013 AD becomes 43 SE. 1940 AD becomes 30 PSE, Pre-Space Era.

GeoPol: Japan will increasingly look to its own interests as its needs for energy and raw materials increase. It will become more and more militaristic.
The Russians by pressing southward to reabsorb Georgia and linking with Armenia alarms Turkey and it will begin to flex its regional muscle by moving north into the Caucasus to guarantee their national security. The Russians will work to contain Turkey using the Arab countries unrest. It will also try to contain Hungary and Romania by trying to turn Bulgaria, Serbia, and Croatia against them. The result will be a destabilization of other countries such as Greece, Macedonia, Bosnia, and Montenegro by the Balkan conflicts.
Turkey will respond to all this instability with a renewed alliance with the U.S.

At the end of the 2020's retirees will be drawing down equity while still consuming at a high rate. Workers will be needed to satisfy demand. With decline in workers, their wages will soar and inflation will soar accelerating the rate at which retirees exhaust their wealth, push for robot workers increases. Stagflation will return.

Space war followed through eyes of Donner Jackson, age 15.
War:
11.16.44
Discussions begin in Geneva to defuse the Balkan crisis.
11.22.44 7:48am
Japanese start war games as a diversion.
11.23.44 12pm
Japan launches active kinetic weapon from secret moon base against SCCP's. Launched in multiple trajectories, none aimed directly at SCCP's, trajectories would be corrected later.

11.26.44 5:15pm
US space recon decimated but old system to detect ICBM launches still working. Pinpoints launches from Japan/Turkey. US hypersonics take off against targets but many are caught on the ground.
11.26.44 7pm
U.S. space and hypersonic force will be devastated. The United States will have lost command of space and have only a few hundred aircraft left. Its allies in Europe will have had their forces overwhelmed. U.S. warships around the world will have been attacked and sunk. The Indians will have lost their assets as well. The American coalition will be militarily devastated.

Romanians sign peace treaty with Turks.
2.07.45
US launches airstrikes against Turks in support of Poles, Turkish Army suffers high losses.
4.20.45
Turks convince Germans to strike Poles. The force that will attack Poland will be quite small in terms of actual troops. The human force will consist of armored infantrymen, fanned out as infantrymen usually are, but with clear and overlapping fields of fire— and these fields now will measure dozens of miles. Linked together by computer networks, they will command not only the weapons they carry but also robotic systems and hypersonic aircraft thousands of miles away that they can call on as needed.
5.1.45
British enter war with intact air force to restrain Germans.
6.1.45
Poles destroy their electric grid as they retreat to thwart Turk/German automated infantrymen. Supply lines begin to be stretched thin. Turk/Germans unable to stop them from destroying electric grid also hoping to cause Polish forces to be supplied from US. Poland goes black.
6.16.45
After two weeks of destruction Turks/Germans begin massive attack but find US/Polish bloc forces and British air support overwhelming. The US has employed a new space based system to supply power over microwaves to the ground troops.
11.26.45
US space and ground based assets rebuilt to high levels.
1.5.46
US unleashes it massively rebuilt air and space forces against the coalition. The US will stop at annihilating the coalition forces and offer a peaceful solution (no doubt owing to nuclear armaments also).
Aftermath
Turkey will have to retreat out of the Balkans but not the Caucasus. Turkey will have to accept the Chinese in central Asia. Japan will have to withdraw from China. New nations will be formed to make it hard for coalitions to again form. The US will have complete control of space, a booming economy and a new power source (space based power satellites) with only 50000 lives lost.
