The Earth of the Industria Pacificum universe is a direct parallel to the Earth of the real world. Although within a different universe per se, this Earth inhabits an identical galaxy and orbits an identical Sun. Even the local intrasolar planets, such as Jupiter or Mars (known in-setting as Occordas and Artiser to Atraelish speakers), are the same. However, certain events have caused Earth itself to form differently, with severity of change varying from instance for instance. Most notably, the continents and surrounding oceans and seas are completely different, thus being partially responsible for the different progression and evolution of humanity.

Climate

The Industria Pacificum Earth's climate is on average identical to that of the Earth of real world. Generally regions closer to the equator are hotter, and the poles are colder. A thermohaline circulation does persist, altering the temperatures of certain regions beyond what their latitude would otherwise suggest.

Due to the greater abundance of oceans in the northern hemisphere, its climate is slightly milder on average compared to the southern hemisphere.
