Earth (White Star Jupiter)

Earth
The planet of Earth has changed little from OTL to here. Rather than drift further from the Sun in the Early Sol, the Earth-Luna system kept its integrity, and stayed where it currently lies in OTL. Humans reside over the planet, covering nearly all of its land surface, with a current population of around 5.6 billion. Earth's surface is dominated by oceans, 75% specifically, a vast brine solution which has gone mostly unexplored even today. The humans are probably the least advanced race in Sol, due to their late formation of around three million years ago, quite late compared to the other sentient. The Earth is part of the IPC, which has advanced its technology level considerably, with one space elevator in the Pacific ocean near Hawaii. Earthlings have yet to get used to a planet-wide government, seeing as how the Americans and Soviets nearly destroyed each other perhaps a decade ago. Rather than one unified government, they are employing the most powerful entities on each continent to police its area; the United States deals with N. America; Brazil with S. America; Russia and China working together on Asia; the EU over Europe; Australia is all by its lonesome; Africa is still a continent of deserts and warlords(The UN is "working on that") With Antarctica being too cold and barren to care about.
