For the planet, see Earth. For the presidency, see President of Earth.
The Earth government's flag, Old Freebie

The Earth government is the ruling body that controls the planet Earth. Its current president is Richard Nixon. Its flag suggests that the United States of America may have fought the rest of humanity to rule Earth, as it is unlikely the rest of the world would settle for such a flag, or to have its government placed in Washington DC. This is also indicated by the fact that Richard Nixon has to defend himself when questioned if he can take office again. This could be because he have been President of Earth before, but is more likely a reference to his US Presidency.

However, it is likely to suggest that other nations on Earth still exists as sovereign states, as they all still have seats in the United Nations building in New New York. In some aspects, the Earth government only seem to control military and foreign affairs, though also taxes on federal level.

Appearing only in When Aliens Attack, this flag may have been discarded from the show later on.

Accordingly, Earth's most preserved right is freedom, and the freedom to do anything and say anything. If so, then the entire concept of Career Chips seems to contradict this point, as people are required to do their jobs. As it is the law.

The Earth flag, Old Freebie appears to decent directly from the American flag. However, an alternative flag is seen briefly in When Aliens Attack, which still includes the strips, but have the Earth in the middle of the flag, though again, with the Americas in focus.
