Three years had passed, and the world had transcended borders. The Global Citizen Project, launched by the liberals, had finally become a reality. All public transportation was now free, and there was only one profession available: programming. Over the last two years, people worldwide had officially retired, and robots and AI were now our workforce.
I can't remember exactly when I first heard about the concept of God, but I distinctly recall a friend on a trip to Mars explaining the idea to a Martian passenger. The brief journey from X7, once known as Almaty, was so short that he could only touch upon various gods, their stories, and the tragic history of millions of lives lost. The Martian passenger found it difficult to believe.
Before arriving on Mars, I believed that the world's best food was Italian, but that changed when I tried ZUMA, a dish prepared with vegetables from the southern regions of Mars and a unique pink ingredient that resembled Earth's cheese. On Mars, all dishes were vegetarian, although recently, an Iranian restaurant had opened in my city, but it was struggling to survive since no one here preferred Earth cuisine.

The political landscape had transformed, and we now had Earth parliaments. Some left and right-wing parties still existed to serve as a reminder of the past's lessons. Unfortunately, Russia's nuclear bomb incident in the Middle East caused significant geographical changes in Iran and a great loss of life due to religious conflicts. This tragedy served as a catalyst for the One Earth, One Nation project. Money was no longer in use, and everything in the world was freely accessible. Luxurious cars had become museum exhibits. Our primary challenges included global warming, which, astonishingly, we had started to control over the last two years. We even began restoring areas affected by nuclear bombs, such as Chornobyl and parts of the Middle East, by sending the debris to a distant part of the galaxy. From Mars, Earth looked like a head missing a piece, but it was still our planet.
Upon arriving on Mars, I realized that we had no advantage over the Martian people, who had already lived here for 50 years. No one talked about politics anymore; it had become the least popular topic. Starbucks and Coca-Cola were highly valued, especially by the Martians, who adored coffee, considering it Earth's greatest gift. All the galaxies aspired to become independent nations in the future. There was no average lifespan anymore, as no one awaited death or succumbed to diseases. Now, individuals could decide when they wanted to pass on.
