[edit] History
During the 4th Century PD, Earth was on a path to recovery from centuries of pollution, war, resource depletion, and overcrowding. New political groups arose, such as the Earth-Firsters, who advocated staying on Earth rather than leaving, to take proper care of the environment, while other groups, such as the Greens and the Neo-Luddites, maintained that all technology should be abandoned. At the time, there were nearly twelve billion people living on the planet, limiting options.
Earth eventually became the capital world of the Solarian League, with the North American city of Chicago as Capital.
