Earth

The third planet from the Sun and the birthplace of humanity, Earth stands as the cultural, political, and economic center of the solar system - even as her children have spread outward to Luna, Mars, The Belt, and beyond. It remains the only world in the system with a breathable atmosphere where people can live outdoors under an open sky. Home to 30 billion people, Earth struggles under the effects of climate change, environmental pollution, overpopulation, and widespread unemployment, but its corporations are the wealthiest and most powerful in the system. It is heavily reliant on the resources of the Belt to keep the engine of its economy running, yet the grip Earth once held on its interplanetary colonies is slowly slipping away.
Earth is the greatest hub of human politics and is technically still the capital planet and dominant super power, with its governing body The United Nations.
