Future

The Future is very volatile and subject to change. In the United States of Antarctica, Time Machines are incredibly common, and since the future depends on what happens in the present, those with motive enough are able to travel back in time and change it. Therefore, the future can never be set in stone, except for events that have been established by the Bureau of Fiction's Department of Time. Due to the uncertainty of the future, the Department of Time never verified that the events of the future will happen and will only verify these events if they do happen.

Alternate Realities
The future is a lot more complicated than some people think. The future state of this universe depends on what happens in the present. The general rule is that every action performed now occurs in the Alpha Timeline. However, any divergence from the events that lead up to it (for example, the Naughtzee winning the Civil War instead of the Resistance) creates an alternate timeline which is ultimately doomed.

Therefore, all hypothetical scenarios have occured/are occurring/will occur, but they exist in alternate, doomed realities that are separate from the Alpha Timeline. It is possible for one in an alternate timeline to escape said alternate timeline by traveling back to before the event that separated it from the Alpha Timeline, and stopping that event from occuring. In fact, this occurs in every case of the alternate reality, but those who travel back from it to stop it from happening are ultimately doomed to die.

An example of this is Doomed Kwiksilver, who returned from an alternate timeline where Kwiksilver did not take part in the Great Darktonian Pie War, and therefore the forces of good were defeated. He traveled back to the BoF, informed Mayor McFlapp who wrote Kwiksilver into the story and ensured victory. However, Doomed Kwiksilver, realising he was going to die, asked to be cryogenically frozen and kept in a safe place. He was sealed in stasis and currently sleeps under the ice in the Bureau's Cold Storage, hopefully never to be unfrozen.

Some alternate realities, based entirely on fiction, do align with some of the stories about the future that are written. These usually come in the form of novels or other pieces of written literature. For example, the book series Desolate written by James N. York was set after the possible events of The Spitfire in the year 5001.
