Earth

Earth is a fictional planet created by the Humerlandish author G.H. Wells. It is the main planet of his science-fiction series The Great War, in which the powers of Britain, France, Austria-Hungary, and Germany fight a major war involving the use of advanced technology such as aircraft and chemical weapons, and mysterious land-dreadnoughts called "tanks", which lasts for 4 years and causes widespread destruction following the assassination of an Austrian archduke. It is an account of how the main character, a young private on the British side, survives the war.

When it was published in 1904, The Great War attracted widespread criticism over various issues, for example the use of aeroplanes as serious weapons of war, given their obvious inherent limitations, and the fact that machine-guns were unlikely to be used, being perceived as "unsporting". Also mentioned was the fact that an assassination, while tragic, was unlikely to cause such a war.

Given that Wells served in the Royal Humerlandic Army during the Borogravian-Humerlandish war, it is likely that the book was partly an account of this.

Earth has also featured in his latest book Prophesies for To-morrow, in which he predicts the development of larger aircraft, the replacement of battleships, and the widespread use of "telephone-screens" to communicate during a global pandemic occurring in the early 2000s.

Continents include:

Europe. Based on Mediterrae and Borealis, this continent is temperate in climate, and is the home of most powerful nations, including Germany and Britain.

Africa. A hot continent, most of which has been colonised by Europe.

Asia. A very large continent also largely controlled by Europe, notably excepting Japan, a feudal nation inspired by Wells' journeys in Omari Robusuta.
