Earth is the third innermost planet in the Solar System and the origin of mankind, and did not require terraforming. Eventually, it was conquered by the colony it sent to Luna, its sole satellite. It has stayed under The Society's rule since its establishment, and is considered part of the Core. Two Earth-born families (presumably of ancient and powerful blood) were wiped out during the Gala Massacre in Golden Son. Darrow describes Terran accents as "fast."
The Gray siblings Holiday and Trigg ti Nakamura grew up in the town of Goodhope, in South Pacifica.
Pre-Conquering[]
Before the time of the Conquering (but presumably a long time after the present day), Earth was divided into around 20 nations that were mutually suspicious of each other. Below are some of said nations.
Indian Empire[]
One of the last governments on Earth to fall to the Iron Golds. Presumably consisted of the countries that used to exist within the Indian sub-continent.
Empire of the Rising Sun[]
Presumably, this Empire included Japan, and probably some of China, Korea and Southeast Asia.
Atlantic Alliance[]
Based somewhere on the east of the Americas, with a naval fleet.
The American Empire[]
Created after the United States of America fell, this Empire presumably also includes Mexico and Canada. Known generals include Alfred Jones and John Merrywater.
