Makeup
Located within the Solar System, Earth is a Continental World who’s surface is dominated mainly by large oceans of salt water. Being the third planet from the star Sol, Earth enjoys relatively stable temperatures and access to solar power.
Climate
The climate of Earth varies greatly depending on location due to mass industrialization, geographical factors, fallout of wars past, and the notorious destruction of the ESA.
Most lands within the Europan Union enjoy a relatively humid and temperate climate with frequent precipitation thanks mainly to the terraforming efforts of 2118 CE (99 BPN). Some areas like the Gobi and Sahara Desert remained arid deserts due to protests by locals and as such are frequent tourist destinations by much of the Europan Union.
The American Continent is frequently divided into the northern landmass and southern landmass when referring to climate due to the radically different histories of the area.
The ESA is notorious for its acidic climate despite desperate climate restoration attempts. Most of the eastern seaboard suffers from an air quality of 71.5 - 118.9 PM2.5 (μg/m³). This can be mainly attributed to the First Contact War and the ensuing destruction of the former capital of the Earth Protectorate, Washington DC. Temperatures in the region range from 10C to 40C.

Culture
The population of Earth is divided mainly between the Europan Union of the super continent Afro-Eurasia and the American Continent which harbors numerous different cultures. While the Earth Protectorate performs the duty of governance in international issues as well as representing Earth on the Galactic Community, most nations are self governing.
