Earth is a planet located in the western spiral of the Milky Way Galaxy, is the homeworld of the human race as well as many other non-native sapient species, and is the main planet featured in Futurama. The planet is approximately 4.54 billion years old.

Government

Main article: Earth's Government

Earth is governed by a democratic-republican system.

Invasions and Takeovers

<nowiki>Throughout its history Earth has been invaded on several occasions, the following is some of the known invasions (mostly from the 31st Century):

  • Cyborg Enslavement: 21st Century
    • Sometime in the 21st Century, cyborgs enslaved humanity.[1]
  • The Sithal War: 2865
    • The Sith invasion of Earth was a brutal war. Within the first day, over 98 million were killed. Over a century later, Earthicans were known to reenact the conflict.[2]
  • Giant Carrot Dominion of Earth
    • At one point in Earth's history, giant carrots ruled the Earth.[3]
  • Unnamed "Alien" Species' Invasion: Late 30th Century
    • The unnamed invading species forces all of the most intelligent members of Earth to mate continuously.[4]
  • Second Omicronian Invasion: 3001
    • The Omicronian forces return to stop the Earth based Fishy Joe's from selling Popplers, which are actually omicronian young, they initially demand to eat one human for each poppler they had eaten but settle for an orangutan and a hippy.[5]
  • The Brain Spawn Invasion: 3002
    • The Brain Spawn arrive at Earth (after wiping out the Space Rome civilization, Don Martin 3 and Tweenis 12), but were driven away by Philip J. Fry due to his lack of a delta brain wave.[6]
  • Nintenduu 64 Invasion: 3003 (alternate reality)
    • In an alternate reality where "life was more like video games," invaders from Nintenduu 64 and Omicron Percei 8 take over the planet and demand all of Earth's quarters so that they could do their laundry.[8]
  • Decapodian Invasion: 3003
    • After the decision of Earth v. Zoidberg, Decapod 10 declares war on Earth. After forcing Earth to submit, the Decapodians left the Mobile Oppression Palace. The occupation of Earth ended when Zoidberg destroyed the mobile oppression palace.[9]
  • Earth is Scammed out of Earth by the Nudist Scammers: 3007
    • Starting with the Planet Express delivery company, the Nudist Alien Scammers steadily took control of all Earth's infrastructure and ultimately evicted all of Earth's population. But Earthlings eventually dislodged the scammers from their thrones by the end of the year.[10]
  • Age of the tentacle: 3008
    • Yivo appears and forces everyone to mate with shklee (Yivo has no gender) through the creation of the Church of Yivo. Eventually Yivo withdrew from Earth when skler activities became known, but then successfully courted the population of Earth and the rest of the Universe’s organic beings, who went to skler Universe, until a Damned Robot Army led by the chairman of the League of Robots brought them back.
  • V-GINY Scare: 3010
    • After the collision between top secret satellites from the FCC and US Military created the entity V-GINY. It traveled the universe destroying planets it found offensive and Earth was its next target. All attempts to stop it were foiled, but the copulation of Adam and Eve changed its mind about the Earthicans and it left the planet be.
  • Third Omicronian Invasion: 3010
    • Although it began as a simple attempt to fool Ndnd into believing that Lrrr had taken over the planet, with the aid of Orson Welles' head and the Planet Express crew. But what began as a theatrical farce became reality when Earth's forces, under command of Zap Brannigan, surrendered to their Omicronian masters. It was only after Lrrr was forced to tell his wife the truth, which led to Urmurmurfurmer or Consequences between Ndnd and Bossy-Boots. In the end, the Omicronian couple's marriage was saved and they left Earth.


Environmental Disasters

Big Ball of Garbage, 3000

In 2052, New York City launched a Giant Ball of Garbage into space to get rid of decades of accumulated rubbish, but 948 years later the garbage ball returned and nearly crashed back into Earth. Catastrophe was avoided when New New York created a similar ball of garbage that was shot into the old one, thus pushing the giant piece of garbage into the sun. The new ball of garbage will return some day, but that's someone else's problem.[11]

Robotic Global Warming

Earth dealt with Global Warming but was forced to deal with the issue in 2063 when they began dropping a large cube of ice into the ocean to cool the planet. But as the years went by, the ice cube needed to turn back the heat became larger and larger, especially after 2928 when Mom's Friendly Robot Company began producing the first modern robot. Global warming spiraled out of control due to the deplorable fuel efficiency of this line of robots and their successors. This came to a head in 3003, when the ice in Halley's Comet ran out and Earth was forced to deal with their environmentally-apathetic polluting lifestyles. Or they might have had to, if not for the brilliant mind of Hubert J. Farnsworth who deduced that if every robot on Earth (who all happened to be conveniently concentrated in the remote Galápagos Islands) vented their exhaust strait up, Earth would be pushed away from the sun, thereby cooling the planet.[12]

United States

Milwaukee

Milwaukee

  • Milwaukee- the most romantic city on Earth, birthplace of beer goggles.

Atlanta

  • The lost city of Atlanta, on the sea floor in the dead center of the Atlantic Ocean.

Other Nations


Earthican Extra-Terrestrial Holdings

IntergalacticStockExchange

Intergalactic Stock Exchange

This orbiting facility is the main facility of intergalactic trade.

Halleys Comet

Halley's Comet

The ice that comprises Halley's Comet was used to help cool the Earth and combat global warming, but was seized by enemies of Earth, prompting Earthicans to fight for the control of the comet. But in 3003thecomet's ice reserves were exhausted.

The Moon

The Moon

Although Earthicans first went to the moon in 1969, they seemed to forget the incident and invented instead a new version of the moon landing, involving whalers on the moon and gophers. In the 31st century, the main structure is Luna Park, a theme park, as well as isolated hydroponic farming communities.

Mars

Mars

The Wongs, an influential Earthican family fooled the natives of Mars out of their land for a bead (actually a gigantic diamond) and over the next few decades Mars was terraformed and populated.

Hubble

The Hubble Space Telescope

Until it was destroyed by DOOP forces under Zapp Brannigan during an Omicronian invasion in 3000, the Hubble Space Telescope was used to study the universe by scientists on Earth.
