Earth

Earth is a life-supporting planet in the Sol System in the Milky Way Galaxy, and home planet of humans, many animals and plants as well as robots. Despite being conquered several times by various aliens, by the 31st century, humans are again the dominant life form on the planet. Earth's government is a planet-wide democracy that is clearly modeled after (if not directly descended from) America's government of today. Even the flag, Old Freebie, is similar to the American flag.

In 3013, Mom said that there were 40 billion hungry people on Earth. In 3005, the planet's population was 985,947,635.[US#017]

The government is largely run by clones, though in 3000, the people of Earth elected Richard Nixon as President of Earth. Although frequently invaded by Alien forces, Earth seems to be a military power to be reckoned with. Much like American money, Earth 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 territorial claims.

History
The Earth, along with the Sun (Sol) and The Moon, was created ca. 4.5 billion years ago; 500 million years ago earth's first lifeforms managed to crawl onto land. The first extinction on earth occurred 65.5 million years ago when The Brain Spawn set out to eradicate all intelligent life on the planet. Which led to the extinction of the planets dinosaurs. eventually the Human race evolved and have since taken the role of earths predominant species; however earth is home to numerous other sentient species from other planets. The proper terminology for someone from the earth is 'Earthican'.

On numerous occasions between the 21st and 31st centuries Earth's cities were continuously destroyed both by Alien species and it's own inhabitants. One of the most notable of these destructions was the First Destruction of New York City during the 24th century which was caused by Bender during a time travelling crime spree which caused him to retaliate against the Swedish Air Force. The destruction he caused marked the beginning for the Second Middle Ages, and popularized the term "getting twenty-fourth century" which is used as slang to denote archaic methods. However, by the 31st century, it can be assumed that all of the cities have been rebuilt and the planet's level of technological innovation is considered to be highly advanced. The planet has been united in a process mostly led by the show's most often depicted (and presumably largest) 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 unknown.

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 invasion. Amy Wong managed to fix the problem by "bringing back" the planet's rotational energy from Thuban 9.

Technology
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 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 and 21st century are preserved in 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.

Life forms
Many 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 sewers especially in New New York, the vermin and confined to the sewers.

Earth gets invaded by aliens multiple times a week. However, almost all attempts to take over the planet have been unsuccessful.

Trivia

 * In scientific terminology (as well as the planet-naming conventions used within the show), Earth could also be called Sol 3 (or Sol III).
 * Mars and Earth may have switched positions in 3012, making Earth Sol 4 (or Sol IV).
 * In "That Darn Katz!", the Earth's rotation was changed from counter-clockwise to clockwise. However, it appears that this has been fixed since then.
 * As of "Crimes of the Hot", the Earth's year is 372 days.
