After trying 'future histories' myself, the best solution I came
up with was:

1) Stuff happens. We colonise some worlds.
2) Something Bad happens sometime in 22nd/23rd century.
3) Civilisation rebuilds, but records prior to the Bad Thing
   are lost or incomplete.

The big shake up at (2) means you don't need to detail (1), and
pretty much anything that happens in real life is irrelevent to
(3), which is the bit you detail.

Having said that, I quite like the nations as they stand now,
but I wouldn't complain if there's a reboot.

Indeed, I'd love to see a series of background books describing
a new set of background fluff.
