So I was watching this recording of '2057' (didn't watch too much of it). But it occured to me that the world is zoning in on the oil, and 90% of it is in the Mideast. So the world will fight over the mideast like this. If you do not want to read this, you don't have to, it's just I don't have a map, only idea in my head.
In 2040, we will have depleted almost all known oil refineries outside the mideast. This is when countries start to pour in and take advantage of the unrest there. Around 2055, The United States goes through a revolution. As atheism began to conquer the north, Christianity was only swelling in the south. The President declared marshall law on New York City. The Riots throughout the country were beyond belief. Five years later, the country tore itself to pieces. However, many of the money left in the Government was put to good use in colonizing what would be known as 'Greater Mesopotamia'. However the Muslims quickly took over and from Greater Mesopotamia they created the Sunni States.
Meanwhile China had problem of it's own. The Communist Party was waning, and many were ready to revolt. Around 2015 (yes that soon) the country went into a revolution that lasted ten years. It ended with the East Coast declaring itself a Republic (The Republic of China) and the mainland keeping the Communist code (Tibecia). Tibecia crumbled, as the Russian military, the Mongols, and other countries attacked and took over much of the territory. Tibecia eventually united with Kazakhstan and several other Ex-Soviet contries near te Caspian sea. Tibecia became known as Caspasia.
Other changes include:
Dubai rises to power but quickly splits in two
Kurdistan becomes it's own country
Egypt almost disappears, replaced by Northern Somalia
Armenia retakes parts of Turkey, but old armenia secedes and becomes known as Caucasia.
