Has anyone got a planet sheet for Earth, with RVM and Affinity scores, among others?

There isn't an official one, but conisidering all planetary statistics are normalized to Earth statistics, set everything equal to 1.

It is trivial to find that Earth's Habitability score is 8, and in the absense of a proper dataset concerning the mineral wealtg of worlds, it is reasonable to assume Earth to have a Resource score of 0. Thus its Affinity score is 8.

Demographic and societal information is readily available online.

I have serious problems reconciling the income with the net worth according to GURPS rules. For income it seems like Earth is TL8 Struggling (Average multiplied by 0.36), but for Wealth it seems like Earth is TL8 Comfortable (Average x2 plus 3%).

That is actually perfectly consistent with a planet that exceeds it's carrying capacity for the technological level it is at.

I dont know, but how are we supposed to represent it in GURPS terms?

Why would we want to? What does a planet's cumulative "Wealth" matter?
