The Earth is the major location during Red Faction II. As described in Red Faction: Guerilla, Earths economy has collapsed due to the planets resources being depleted and irrational speculaton about the development of Mars which has resulted in chronic unemployment and inflation. The worsening situation on Earth has lead to the Earth Defense Council, the government of the whole planet (except the Commonwealth) to authorize stricter controls on Mars in order to increase production.
Not much is known about the state of Earth of human society but the 'Voice of Mars' news broadcasts describe forced sterilisation in order to keep the population growth under control and a passenger flight crashing in the Amazon Desert from this we can gleen that Earth is overpopulated and destruction of the environment has meant that forests, jungles etc. are a thing of the past.
Trivia
- General Bertram Roth was convinced that political enemies inside the Council had arranged his posting on Mars in order to destroy his career, he saw the planet as a "dead-end, backwater"
- Admiral Lucius Kobel was a powerful political figure on the Council and used his influence to have his designs for the largest warship ever constructed by humanity (E.D.S Hydra) approved by the Council. This also made Kobel the prime candidate to assume command of all EDF operations on Mars once the Council had lost its patience with General Roth due to his failure to eliminate the Red Faction insurgency.
