Wild Card's description: 

In the past we have had North/South East/West, an iron curtain. Another schism of a different type may be a digital have/have not, an environmental have/have not, maybe some portable cleavage causing a schism. So you may not have a united Europe, which is what the European Union is premised upon. If this were severely weakened, it would cause major dislocation in economic, cultural, social and maybe military affairs.
