I wonder what the space race looks like, if there is one at all. Could the Manifest Destiny ethos of the *USA extend to the stars?
Also, I wonder if this world's economy is bigger or smaller than our own. My gut tells me "smaller", as giant portions of the population are barred from their own "pursuit of happiness". It also tells me the *US would eventually stagnate, and devote ever-more resources to surveillance and propaganda than they'd otherwise need to if they weren't a slave state.
Sometime in the mid-21st Century, the whole thing could collapse and balkanize in an orgy of apocalyptic violence including WMDs used on its own cities - ending up like China or South Africa from Rumsfeldia.
