World-event scenarios, 2027–2036

Explore 3,000 annualized scenario rows from the supplied workbook. Every row is fictional, every numerical estimate is source-authored and non-calibrated, and every consequence path is illustrative rather than predictive.

FICTIONAL SCENARIO — NOT HISTORICAL, NOT A FORECAST. Probability fields are source-authored analytical estimates, not calibrated forecasts and not additive. Consequence scores are comparison aids, not expected casualties, financial losses, or site rankings. Coordinates are broad centroids, not target locations.

Military coup in a strategically located state overturns civilian rule — 2036 outlook

In 2036, the modeled trigger or precursor is: security failures, fiscal crisis and elite conflict lead military leaders to detain civilian authorities and suspend constitutional institutions. The takeover changes regional alignments, foreign basing or counterterrorism cooperation while encouraging coup risk in neighboring states. Popular acceptance may initially reflect dissatisfaction with civilian governance but can erode as sanctions and repression grow. By the mid-2030s, demographic, fiscal and technological pressures may produce sharp divergence between resilient states and states with eroding legitimacy. The annual probability is an approximate analytical estimate of 19.9% (Moderate), with consequence magnitude 4/5. This row is a plausible, overlapping scenario—not a prediction.

Workbook formula: probability ÷ 100 × magnitude × 20. It is a comparison aid only. Scenario probabilities overlap and must not be summed.

Scenario premise

security failures, fiscal crisis and elite conflict lead military leaders to detain civilian authorities and suspend constitutional institutions.

Named actor classes

senior military officers; civilian government; opposition groups; regional organization; foreign partners; public

Warning indicators

unusual troop movements; detention of political figures; emergency broadcast interruptions; officer statements; elite defections; constitutional suspension rumors

Indicators are planning prompts, not proof that the scenario is occurring and not a monitoring or targeting instruction.

Key uncertainties

military cohesion, public support, regional sanctions and whether external actors provide the regime with resources

ILLUSTRATIVE CONSEQUENCE PATH — NOT A PREDICTION

Conditional consequence sequence

  1. 0–30 days

    If this scenario occurs in 2036: Borders, media and public gatherings are restricted; the constitution is suspended and regional bodies consider sanctions. Competing units may challenge the takeover.

  2. 1–3 years

    During 2037–2039: The junta seeks foreign financial and security partners while delaying a transition. Public services and investment weaken, and armed groups exploit distracted forces.

  3. 4–10 years

    Across 2040–2046: Either negotiated civilian restoration emerges or military rule becomes entrenched. The region's democratic norms and security partnerships are altered for years.
