Earth

The **Earth** (地（ち）球（きゅう）, *Chikyū*), also known as 877 of 4032, is the homeworld and namesake of the Earthling race and serves as the primary setting for the *Dragon Ball* series. According to both Gine and the Galactic King, before the events of the main *Dragon Ball* series, Earth was a planet that wasn't well known due to the general worthlessness of its native species and natural resources.

## History

Much of Earth's history is generally left in the shadows. It is known that Beerus visited the planet once before, and the dinosaurs that inhabit the planet took a bad attitude with him. He believed he destroyed them all, though this is known to be false. Despite being noted multiple times to have a fledgling civilzation, Earth has been technologically proficient for at least three centuries, with access to electronic technology such as rice cookers dating back to Mutaito's battle with Piccolo, which was 300 years prior to the start of the series.

## Geography

The planet of Earth is divided into four sections:

* The **North Area** (北部) containing the most northern locations on the planet.
* The **West Area** (西部) containing the most western locations on the planet.
* The **East Area** (東部) containing the most eastern locations on the planet.
* The **South Area** (南部) containing the most southern locations on the planet.

## Government

The entirety of the planet is governed as a Federation. The Federation is divided into 43 small countries that are unified as a sole country, in which is governed in such form in order to circumvent global conflicts and wars between country. The entirety of the world as been administratively divided into four cardinal sections.

According to Vados, an Earth also exists in the 6th Universe, as the 6th and 7th Universes are twin universes. As stated by Whis, it's the third planet in the solar system. However, unlike the 7th Universe's Earth, the 6th Universe's was ravaged by war and destruction, rendering humanity extinct on that planet. In the anime, it's shown as a barren wasteland without ocean nor signs of life. After the 6th Universe and 7th Universe Hakaishin Selection Martial Arts Competition, Beerus secretly uses the Super Dragon Balls to restore the planet, with the same level of civilization as 7th Universe's.

## Trivia

* According to Jaco, one in every hundred thousand flies on Earth is a spy robot sent by the Galactic Patrol to record information on the planet.
* Although the planet is not an exact representation of its real-life counterpart, the Yen is used as a currency, despite the fact that Japan does not seem to exist on the series.
* The planet is located on the edge of the universe.
