Earth (Universe ANIME)

Earth, also known as Sol III, Gaia, Terra, Tellus, Gaea, the World, and the Globe, and alternatively called Earth-ANIME, is the third planet of the Sol System, the cradle of human civilization, and the home of humanity and the seat of power of the United Nations of Earth. It is known for being the cradle of humanity and human civilization and series of conflicts, but it was more known for being the battleground of a centuries long conflict which pitted the Novayan Stellar Commonwealth against the Sith Order in a series of espionage and counterespionage, intrigue and covert operations which soon devolved into a final battle, the Clash of the Gods or the War of the Titans, that saw the destruction of Sith-Imperial forces at the hands of the Void Coalition military.
Unlike Novaya IV and Saiyane III but much like Armanya, Earth is governed by an intergovernmental organization which, after the cataclysmic Clash of the Gods and the reverse-engineering of technologies recovered from crash-landed Void Coalition and Sith-Imperial warships, soon became a unified planetary government. Like Armanya, Earth is governed by hundreds of countries located in the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania with permanent interplanetary colonies located on its Moon, Luna, the red planet Mars and other worlds of the Sol system; most of the countries were representative democracies or direct democracies, while others were run by authoritarian or totalitarian governments.
During the interbellum and before, during and after the One Sith War, various races and species from differing worlds arrived on Earth-ANIME as a result of losing their homeworlds, which were either destroyed or have become worldwide battlegrounds between NSC forces under Lord Admiral Borealis I and Sith-Imperial forces previously under Darth Sidious and later Darth Krayt. Among those were the Terranians from Terra, a continental planet which have been wrecked by Catastrophes (which is the cause of Originium) and later became a worldwide battleground; humans, humanoids and other non-human species and races, who hail from Earth-Rifts, located in Universe Romeo-India-Foxtrot-Tango-Sierra, which was destroyed by the One Sith; and various races from Azeroth, which was also destroyed by the One Sith.
Present in Europe, North Africa and Asia were the Saiyanese Expeditionary Force, Roman Expeditionary Force and the Novayan Expeditionary Force, the latter of which is involved in a war against and colonization of Ursus, which was partitioned between the NSC and Galactic Alliance Defense Initiative.
==Society and culture==
In pre-Operation Sovereign Justice modern Earth, the humans or homo sapiens were a semi-mobile, semi-sedentary people with advanced languages, technologies, cultures and tools. They are known for their moral, mental, social, and emotional complexity best compared with a kaleidoscope, and are also known for the divide between them due to race, religion, sexuality, politics, and social and financial status. The most known fact is that humanity globally impacted Earth with their pollution from using carbon-based oil, overuse of natural resources, and all their petty conflicts.
After Operation Sovereign Justice and the One Sith War, there exists a number of races: humanity (also known as Earthborn humanity), human aliens (such as the Arume and the Vega Lyrans), Terranians, voidwalkers, medieval fantasy races, modern fantasy humans, and mythological and anomalous races. Humanity is the largest majority race, followed by the Terranians of Terra, human aliens, the fantasy races, mythological and anomalous races and voidwalkers.
However, while Earthborn humanity is known for its many achievements, the single lack of care and the most notoriously negative activities and traits within many Earthborn humans have baffled many and even shocked many a voidwalker, refugee and Terranian - petty conflicts, racism, corporate greed, political self-interests, increasingly negative social and religious attitudes toward anyone (depending on the subject's race, gender, sexuality, religion, and social status), domination by fear (of the loss of material wealth and national greatness), and preference of material needs over family have been increasingly rising and would have dominated humanity. The voidwalkers, initially considered by many as monsters before recognizing their moral complexity, had caused a massive upheaval in rationality and morality: voidwalker expeditionary forces assisted in reconstruction as well as assist communities below the poverty line in getting up to shape without expecting to receive anything in return, and the major superpowers of the Void - Novaya, Saiyane, Nova Roma and the Soviet Union (especially the former three) - have come together to end the military feuds between them and now engaged in an economic competition kind of cold war. The arrival of refugees from medieval fantasy worlds and a few modern fantasy Earths (Earth-HONKAI being the most known) sparked a global refugee crisis, and many Earthborn humans who saw this reacted differently: many sought to exploit these refugees, but others have began helping the refugees in finding homes for them as well as assisting them in (re)building their communities. Lastly, the Terranians who have went through hardships and hell even more (more than what Earthborn humanity were subjected to) sent a shock wave throughout Earthborn humanity, and it is the joint NSC-GADI invasion of Ursus that reminded Earthborn humanity of their own immorality.
===Settlements and regions===
Large chunks of the world's landmasses contain a number of metropolises and cities, with small chunks containing pre-modern tribes. Among the world's most-known cities were Washington DC, Moscow, London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Beijing, Tokyo, Seoul, Pyongyang, Sidney, Rio de Janeiro, Riyadh, Baghdad, Tehran, Constantinople, and Ankara. Each human settlement are part of megalopolises or metropolitan areas, which are the most largest of the human settlements, second only to an entire ecumenopolis.
Each region contains a number of nations that made up a chunk of the world's global population. The arrival of refugees saw the establishment of refugee camps and settlements across various regions, however, with many grouped up into a few but the most largest refugee camps/settlements being centered/located at the Sahara Desert, the Mongolian Steppe, Siberia, the Arabian Desert, the Russian Arctic, the Great Australian Desert, the Great Basin Desert, the Mojave Desert, Northern Canada, and Alaska; a good majority of the refugees settled on established, expanded interplanetary colonies as well as new ones throughout the Sol system, but the grand majority remain on Earth.
Various regions consist of single, few or many biomes, with the whole world being a multi-biome world.
===Religion===
Until the arrival of the refugees, most of humanity followed Christianity, one of the oldest religions in the world and the most largest of all religions, with Islam being the second religion. Atheism, which is not a religion per se but still a religion technically, is the third largest. Other religions included Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism/Confucianism/Chinese traditional religionis, ethnic and indigenous faiths, Sikhism, Spiritism, Judaism, and Jainism. Read this article page for more information.
After Operation Sovereign Justice and the revelations that humanity isn't alone not just in the universe but also beyond it, the exposure of the Cult of the Loop (or Aagiokratia in the Modern Dialect of the Worm's Tongue) led to some people deciding that Christianity is the largest on Earth but the former is the most largest in the Void. The Terranians' arrival also brought forth their religions and faiths, which left many to believe that Christianity and Islam will experience their first younger challengers however old or young they really are. Modern fantasy humans arriving in as refugees helped boosted the Earthborn humans' religions but there were many still believing the worst is left to come.
After finding out that gods really do exist, pagan religions (such as Hellenism, Aztec faith, Nordic religion, and whatnot) have made comeback with a vengeance though they are still the minority; to make matters worse (or better) and as if to add salt to injury and defy all of common sense and the gravity of the religious situations, the pagan religions have been reformed to include a standardized liturgy, a Holy Book or a collection of scrolls (which contain a creation myth, chapters on the gods, a book of prophesies, and whatnot), and a formal church hierarchy. Though, a few or so reformed pagan religions can still split off into a number of denominations; one example is the reformed Aztec religion, which is split into the Quetzalcoatlite sect (which worships Quetzalcoatl, the Aztec goddess of wind and wisdom) and the Huitzilopochtlite sect (which worships Huitzilopochtli, the Aztec god of war, the sun and human sacrifice), the former of which follows wisdom while the latter follows power. Despite this most gods learned well not to force anyone into following their religions.
===Military===
Until the Yuuzhan Vong War, the militaries of Earth's nations were diverse but nearly all were volunteer forces, leaving few being all-conscript military forces. The most powerful military is the United States Armed Forces, followed by the Chinese People's Liberation Army and Russian Armed Forces. The Godom War, then a part of the greater One Sith War, and the presence of voidwalker expeditionary forces and less commonly the various medieval fantasy and modern fantasy human refugees' forces made exposed the vulnerabilities of the most powerful nations' armed forces, who were less adequate in terms of unity, cohesion, critical thinking, preparedness and focus; by comparison, the more disparate voidwalker expeditionary forces have demonstrated a knack for unity, cohesion, critical thinking, preparedness and focus, with some seeing the voidwalkers' cooperation with nations during and after the Godom War to be most beneficial in comparison to the most powerful nations' self-interests.
The Yuuzhan Vong War would finally test the militaries of the Earthborn human nations, who (alongside the voidwalkers, Terranians and medieval fantasy races, modern fantasy humans and mythological/anomalous races) never expected the Yuuzhan Vong to be an enemy unlike anything before. After the Sol system's worlds were encased under protective shielding generated by planetary shield generators, however, complacency dominated some national militaries with the belief that the shields will protect their worlds despite warnings that Earth's planetary shield generators needed added security measures; they also called the disparate voidwalker forces out for fearmongering, heavy reliance on hit-and-run and archaic (that is, WWI and medieval-era) defensive doctrines and stockpiling chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, incendiary and thaumaturgical weapons despite the voidwalker military leaderships' warnings that a breach might happen.
The few minor breaches on the shields, followed by massed waves of Yuuzhan Vong forces, demonstrated what exactly happens when many became complacent, underestimated the enemy and refused to take the necessary measures, forcing many nations to copy the voidwalkers' measures; upon realizing the Yuuzhan Vong is just as genocidal, the Geneva Convention is partially dropped for the duration of the war, only applied when some Yuuzhan Vong were taken prisoner. Following the disaster that occurred and the breaches sealed to prevent more from entering, the United Nations Military Staff Committee finally transitioned from an advisory board to a wartime body of high-ranking military officers coordinating with the various militaries - Earthborn human, modern fantasy human, medieval fantasy, Terranian, human alien and voidwalker.
After the end of the five/six-years-long Yuuzhan Vong War and during the reforms that occur, the disparate militaries of the nations of Earth soon contributed to the United Nations Armed Forces, then still called the United Nations Peacekeeping Forces, which now included the disparate voidwalker expeditionary forces, medieval fantasy forces, modern fantasy human forces, human alien forces, and even Terranian forces.
===Politics===
According to a think tank composed of voidwalkers and medieval fantasy folks, politics on Earth is considered the most chaotic until after Operation Sovereign Justice.
====Domestic affairs====
Humanity is known for their political complexity, which caused good or bad things. On the good side there were those who really wish to reform their nations and bring them out of their misery and abyss; on the bad side there were those who wanted to maintain the status quo despite the world crumbling around them. This led to many a voidwalker and medieval fantasy folk to call out some or most of Earthborn humanity to be uncaring, greedy, self-interested, selfish, jealous and hateful.
====Foreign affairs====
Many nations hold foreign affairs and even bilateral relations with each other, which depended from hostile to neutral to friendly. Extraterrestrially, Earth held control over her interplanetary colonies and orbital stations, yet traded with and developed and expanded said colonies. After the Yuuzhan Vong War, Earth's government would continue controlling its colonies albeit permitted them self-government and greater autonomy.
