Earth (Rising World)

Earth is the third planet from the Sun, and is located in the solar system. It is the center for economy, science, politics, population and technology in the world, and is home to over billions of people. It is home to over 75 countries, and have several major oceans and six continents. Nowadays, geographically and politically, due to climate change, war, and other aspects, the world has changed in appearance.

Summary
In the 27th century, the world has been living with artificial intelligence and very advanced virtual reality, and 82% of the world are living in metropolitan areas of over 100,000 people. There are also 75 countries left from the 198 in 2190. Using trash repurposing factories and machines, millions of pounds of garbage like plastic, broken shards, wasted paper, and other materials are being turned into more objects. The continents of Earth include North America, South America, Africa, Asia, Europe and the Pacific, which used to be two continents named Australia and Oceania.

Politically and geographically, the world has changed. In Africa, Lake Chad had significantly expanded from diversion programs, supplying more water and being a transport area in the booming Saharan Belt from Nouakchott to Khartoum. The Aral Sea had also been re flooded, now back with aquatic life. Meanwhile, the sea level had risen significantly, flooding lots of arable farmland, luxurious island resorts, beautiful towns and even entire cities. Many important cities including New York, London, Tokyo, Manila, Hong Kong, Paris, Cape Town, and Amsterdam were severely flooded and had to be deconstructed. However several districts and satellite cities of these areas, like Kabukicho, Croydon, Newark, Kowloon, Barbes and Dharavi were able to be saved with 1 meter height seawalls.

Most portions of archipelago countries like Philippines, Indonesia, Japan, United Kingdom and Denmark were submerged. However, a handful of cities like Cleveland, San Francisco, Montreal, Brasilia, Nagoya and Nanjing were able to be saved.
