General history and plot from the mainline NieR games.

Earth is a planet which was previously inhabited by humans before their effective extinction by a disease known as White Chlorination Syndrome. It serves as the main setting for the NieR series.

Characteristics

In the 27th century, the moon was fractured by an unknown event, resulting in a shift of the Earth's axis. The axis distortion caused a change in the Earth's normal day-night cycle, creating continual daytime in the area that would become known as the Kingdom of Day. The axis shift also presumably led to the creation of the corresponding Kingdom of Night.

Following the end of the 14th Machine War, the female Administrator ("Her") of the Earth's quantum server absorbed the data of the damaged Red Girl after the fracturing of the the machine network's ego. By assimilating the Red Girl's corrupted data, She was overcome with grief and hatred, and used her own reality-altering abilities to freeze both the Earth and time itself as well as the Red Girl's powers, to change the Earth's surface into a network of stone towers resembling the home planet of the machine lifeform's creators.

After the events of NieR Reincarnation, following the defeat of "Her" and the reincarnation of Fio to accompany her, the stone towers around the world have seemingly crumbled into a pure white sand that now covers the planet. Remnants of humanity, such as cars, signs, and other landmarks litter the desert, described as looking "like bones."^[1] It is unknown how much life inhabits the Earth at this point, if any at all, but the view from space shows that the oceans appear mostly unaffected by the powers of Her, and Fio is able to survive assuming she still needs to eat and drink like a regular human.

Trivia

For unknown reasons, several animal species on Earth are much larger compared to the past, including:
- Giant boars large enough to be mounted.
- Wolves closer in size to extinct dire wolves.
- Scorpions closer in size to a large lobster.
- Spiders with leg-spans winder than a person is tall.
Several once extinct species have also reappeared, including:
- Beetle Fish, large aquatic beetles with horns like a rhinoceros beetle which are capable of flight.
- Dunkleosteus, a genus of prehistoric fish which lived from 382 million to 358 million years ago.
