Urth is one of two astronomical objects in the Sular System of the Sombrero Galaxy in the Multiverse that is known to have liquid water on its surface, Urth being the only one that is known to host life. It is known that there are numerous planets in other star systems that feature intelligent life, and Urth has been partly settled by at least one known extraterrestrial species, the Peregrin.
 
There are five continents on Urth: Yasteria, Gondwana, Aurora, Atlantia, and Antarctica. These continents are defined by convention not by any scientific definition. Yasteria is the largest continent in terms of area and population, and it hosts some of the world's great powers. Yet Yasteria is broken up as a continent into six separate landmasses: Yasteria Major, Arcturia, Antilla, Borea, Itur, and the Southeast Yasteria. Gondwana is larger than any component part of Yasteria. Every major landmass except Yasteria Major, Itur, Aurora, and Southeast Yasteria is dominated by uncivilized areas, and Itur and Aurora, are the only landmasses that have been entirely settled. Urth has five oceans: the Pacific Ocean, Concordian Ocean, Arctic Ocean, Southern Ocean, and Packilvanian Ocean.[[File:Map of UrthHigh_Res_Urth_Map.png|thumb|alt=|left|Political Map of Urth]]Aurians, Elves, Felines, Humans, Nekomimi, Peregrins, Lupines, Lutrynes, Ursines, and Vulpines are the sentient species on Urth but Humans are the dominant species that with their genetic ancestry traced back to the Nekomimis and Elves.
 
Long before recorded time the Nekomimi, a humanoid species with cat-features, spread across Urth from the land of Infinite Loop with their origins unknown. They where the dominate species of the planet and encountered many different species that had evolved long ago from their basic forms but had not expanded outwards into the world. They peacefully coexisted on Urth for countless generations until a genetic mutation happened within a Nekomimi tribe located in present day Arcturia that lead to their cat-features to gradually go away until they had no cat-features but their non-cat-ears either grew round at the top or instead had a point. This Nekomimi tribe started calling themselves Elves, derived from the Nekomimi word for point, and Human from the word for round. Over time the Humans outpaced the Elves and Nekomimis and spread across the world causing the other two species to be considered subspecies as their populations declined.
