A 87

While the vast majority of the 10 billion population of the Sol System lives in gigantic orbital habitats, Earth's small population (~400 million) depends heavily on interstellar tourism and the entertainment industry. With over 10 billion visitors a year, a two week stay on Earth is considered the ultimate vacation, whether it is camping in the Sahara Grasslands or exploring the underwater ruins of ancient London. In addition, the Earth exports the original genetic material required to terraform new planets and to replenish collapsed ecosystems.

The entertainment industry is alive and well on the Earth, with a tenth of the population supporting the industry. While its locations are primarily used for historical cinema, every major entertainment studio in Human Space has an office on the Earth. Many famous entertainment professionals retire to Earth, so they also contribute to its prosperity.
