Earth

This article is about the fictional astrological object. For the brown compound that covers much of the planet's surface, see Soil. You may also be looking for Terrania, commonly referred to as Earth.
Earth is a fictional planet originally created in 1895 as the setting for the French-language book Un autre jour, Une autre planète (Another Day, Another Planet) by Corbarian author Jean Pas-Demal, but later adopted for other stories by other authors, and eventually leading to the creation of an alternate universe story. As established by several DiarPin users in 2010, Earth is, fictionally, the third planet in the Leere-Kumpel solar system, between the real-life exoplanets of Venus and Mars, replacing the real-world exoplanet of Theia - in the canon of the online web series The Earth Project, which is based on the planet, Theia reportedly crashed into Earth, with the resulting debris later forming a moon for Earth aptly named "the Moon", itself a parallel of Luna.
Earth has around 200 countries spread across seven continents, and shares many parallels and differences to that of Terrania; case in point, the in-universe organization known as the "United Nations" is a parallel to the real-world Global Union of Independent States. Earth also has a population of nearly eight billion, compared to the roughly four billion that reside on Terrania.
Earth is a common inspiration for fictional stories, with many fiction authors often pondering about the planet. In 2010, The Earth Project was founded by Alvin Cook, to develop a singular canon for Earth. The project itself has taken inspiration from myths and legends from around the world, as well as fan-created nations and stories.
