| ~ Official Description |
Super Earth is one of the two planets that reside in the Sol System. It is the home world of Humanity and the capital planet of the Federation of Super Earth.
Geography[ | ]
Super Earth, being the shining bastion of Prosperity, Liberty and Managed Democracy that it has always been, is possibly the only planet in the entire galaxy to feature multiple biomes. However, due to the last great war, its northern hemisphere would be rendered partially uninhabitable. Nevertheless, Super Earth managed to eventually optimize itself into 7 sectors.
Sector 1[ | ]
Formerly known as "Oceania". This sector is comprised mostly by an arid desert continent formally known as Australia, alongside certain tropical islands, archipelagos and peninsulas that formed part of a continent once called "Asia". It is the home of Mega City 1.
Sector 2[ | ]
Much of sector 2 is formerly known as "China" and "Asia", with territory stretching north into the ancient lands once known as "Mongolia" and "Siberia". The eastern and central parts of this sector is comprised mostly by ancient mountains and forests, with deserts and parts of an arid steppe where wild horsemen once roamed freely being found to the north and west, the spirit of Freedom burning ablaze in their hearts. It is home to the Great Wall of Democracy, as well as to Mega City 2.
Sector 3[ | ]
Formerly known as "Russia" by some, "Scandinavia" by others. This sector is mostly comprised of cold mountains, tundra's, fjords and ice fields that will freeze the enemies of freedom. To its north and south lie wasteland zones that can not be inhabited, product of the Last Great War. It is home to Prosperity City, the illustrious capital of the Federation of Super Earth. This sector is also in ownership of the islands of Greenland and Iceland, as well as being home to the Emergency Seed Vault, formerly known as "Svalbard."
Sector 4[ | ]
Formerly known as "Europe", this sector is one of the most urbanized in Super Earth, having seen the lion's share of Super Earth's foundational history. To its north lies a now-uninhabitable set of isles. They are speculated to be were the phrase "How about a nice cup of Liber-tea" originated from. The landscape of Sector 4 consists of plains with mountains in some places. This sector is the home of Mega City 4. Its southern portion shares the ancient continent of "Africa" with Sector 5, covering much of the western Sahara Desert and the Atlas Mountains.
Sector 5[ | ]
Formerly known by the names of "India" and "Arabia", Sector 5 is comprised of the easternmost portion of the ancient continent of "Africa", as well as a couple other peninsulas, in which it is rumoured that the first humans were born. Much of the sector is dry and hot, with over half of the sector comprising of scorching deserts. It possesses 2 of the last 3 remaining rain-forests and is home to the Pyramids of Super Earth and Mega City 5.
Sector 6[ | ]
Formerly known as "Latin America", Sector 6 is comprised of the Central and Southern portions of the ancient continent of "America", as well as taking the southern chunks of the north of said continent. This sector houses one of the last 3 remaining rainforests and is home to Mega City 6.
Sector 7[ | ]
Formerly known as "The United States of America", Sector 7 is comprised of the Northern portions of the ancient continent of "America". This sector is rumoured to having been the birthplace of Super Earth's core tenets of Freedom and Democracy, with its inhabitants having a reputation of high patriotism and love for their compatriots, values that would later be imprinted into all Super Earth citizens.
Sector 7 is home to Superstone Park, as well as to Mega City 7.
Oceans and Poles[ | ]
Super Earth's mass is comprised of around 70% water, which required the division of its water masses into 3 sections:
- Liberty Ocean (formerly known as the "Pacific Ocean")
- Atlantic Ocean
- Pan-Asian Ocean (formerly known as the "Indian Ocean")
There used to be permafrost ice caps on both the north and south poles of Super Earth known as "Antarctica" and "The Arctic", however they would melt away at some point prior to the First Galactic War, as their ice was incapable of sustaining all of mankind's prosperity.

History[ | ]
Creation of Earth[ | ]
Super Earth, or Earth as it was known, was formed 4.5 billion years ago. It was a planet comparable to Hellmire with extreme temperatures and oceans of lava. Later on, a planet roughly the same size as Mars, Thea, collided into Earth. The rock and debris from the collision formed a ring around the Earth until eventually coalescing into the Moon.
Life on Earth[ | ]
The planet began to cool, and oceans of liquid water would cover most of its surface. Life would come to thrive on the planet, and some creatures went on to colonize the land, one day evolving into Humans.
Ancient Civilisations[ | ]
The first Human civilization was located in Mesopotamia. Other civilizations arose in Greece, Egypt, India and China. These societies were mostly agricultural, located near rivers and fertile land.
Modern Civilization[ | ]
An Industrial Revolution took over the world with the invention of steam power, allowing for the entire world to be colonized and claimed. Millions found employment, the economy flourishing. One hundred years after the first industrial boom, the first major global conflict would begin, known as World War One. The war would grip the world for 4 long years until the treaty of Versailles ended the war in 1918. 21 years of peace would come to pass, until World War Two, lasting 6 years and ending with the Japanese surrender. The post-war world would find itself in a new, cold war, between the victors; the United States and the Soviet Union, lasting 44 years, and ending with the collapse of the Soviet Union at the end of the 20th century.
The Great War[ | ]
The exact year in which "The Great War" began is lost to time, but it likely happened sometime between 2015 to 2044. The war most likely included the United States, United Kingdom, Russia and China. Most of Russia's population centres were wiped out along with the U.K., as well as some parts of Alaska, Siberia and Canada. The conflict, while nuclear, left the United States and China mostly unscathed.
Unification of Earth and Establishment of the Federation of Super Earth[ | ]
Out of the dust of the Great War, one Government stood tall. They created a way of government, managed democracy, and total unification of the planet to a previously unseen extent, venturing far into space proclaiming themselves as the Federation of Super Earth, thusly creating a utopia of Freedom and Prosperity. No enemy of the Federation has ever even come close to contesting with Super Earth, not even a three front war against Humanity could threaten them. However, recent events have been painting a worrying picture, The Gloom creeps across the Galaxy with no sign of stopping, and The Automatons have reached only one sector away from the home of Managed Democracy.
