'''Earth''' is a life-supporting planet in [[the Sol System]], and home [[List of planets|planet]] of [[humans]], many animals and plants as well as [[robot]]s. Despite being conquered several times by various aliens, by the [[31st century]], humans are again the dominant life form on the planet. [[Earth government|Earth's government]] is a planet-wide democracy that is clearly modeled after (if not directly descended from) [[United States of America|America]]'s government of today. Even the flag, [[Old Freebie]], is similar to the American flag. As of [[3005]], the population of Earth is 985,947,635 ([[The Time Bender Trilogy: Part 1|US#017]]).{{disputed canon}}<br />
<br />
The government is largely run by clones, though in [[3000]], [[Earthicans]] elected [[Richard Nixon's head]] [[President of Earth]]. Although frequently [[Invasions of Earth|invaded]] by [[Alien]] forces, Earth seems to be a military power to be reckoned with. Much like American money, Earthican [[currency]] depicts presidents. In terms of wealth, [[Mom]] is the richest person on the planet, [[Zapp Brannigan]] is responsible for protecting the world from various alien invasions as well as expanding Earth's empire.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
[[File:Earth Flag.svg|left|200px|thumb|[[Old Freebie]]: The Earth flag.]]<br />
The Earth, along with Sun and The Moon, was created ca. [[Early history|4.5 billion years ago]]. 500 million years ago first lifeforms crawled onto land, and 65.5 million years ago The [[Brain Spawn]] caused the extinction of dinosaurs ([[6ACV07]]). Finally, the [[Human]] race evolved.<br />
<br />
Between the [[21st century|21st]] and [[31st century|31st]] centuries most of Earth's cities were destroyed multiple times. One of the most notable destructions was the [[First Destruction of New York City]] in the [[24th century]] started by [[Bender]]. That destruction even caused the [[Second Middle Ages]], and ''"getting twenty-fourth century"'' becoming a popular slang term. However, by 31st century, the cities have been rebuilt and planet's technology level is extremely high. The planet had been united in a process mostly led by [[United States of America]]. Dozens, if not hundreds of other planets and minor planets (including [[Mars]], [[Neptune]] and [[Pluto]]) have been colonized. Owing to that, human population by the year [[3011]] is not known.<br />
<br />
In [[3004]], Earth was moved further from the Sun causing a normal year to become 372 days long. Later in [[3007]], the planet was stolen by the [[Alien Scammers]], who renamed it ''New Scammadonia''. A few days later, however, a fleet comprised of displaced Earthicans and other victims of the Scammers managed to reclaim Earth. The planet briefly stopped rotating in August of [[3010]], as a result of the [[Thubanian]] [[Thubanian Invasion of Earth|invasion]]. [[Amy Wong]] managed to fix the problem by "bringing back" the planet's rotational energy from [[Thuban 9]].<br />

[[File:Sport utility robot.png|left|thumb|Early robotics in the [[30th century]]]]<br />
One of the most important places in the entire universe by the 31st century, Earth is a huge glowing utopian (sort of) planet which is at the height of existence. Major technological advancements have been achieved by humanity, resulting in some technologies (such as the wheel) to have become obsolete, while others (such as [[Hovercar|hovercars]]) to become prominent. Sentient [[robots]] possibly have a higher population than humans themselves and space travel has excelled significantly, journeys to other galaxies take but a few hours because spaceships can move billions of times the traditional [[speed of light]]. Many people who lived in the [[20th century|20th]] and [[21st century|21st century]] are preserved in [[Head Jars|jars]] albeit only their heads, this technology was invented by [[Ron Popeil]]. Almost everything electrical is a robot with feelings, from intergalactic spaceships to toasters.<br />
<br />
== Life forms ==<br />
Many [[List of alien species|species of aliens]] have migrated to Earth and live in peace with the life forms already on Earth, the [[Decapodians]] specifically came to Earth in the [[23rd century]]. By the [[31st century]], [[anchovies]] and [[cows]] have gone extinct. Mutants have since developed in the [[NNY Sewers|sewers]] especially in New New York, the vermin and confined to the sewers.<br />
<br />
Earth gets invaded by aliens multiple times a week. However, almost all attempts to take over the planet have been unsuccessful.<br />
