hey, all. i've been trying to find out if there's a particular trope for instances where a planet is named Earth but, based on its geography, it clearly isn't our Earth. the key example that comes to mind is Dragonball, which is explicitly called Earth but doesn't have any familiar geography (at least in some versions). truth be told, i'm not trying to find the trope for the sake of finding it or wanting to make a new one, but i wanted to see if i could cross-reference for an idea.

i'm also not very familiar with TV Tropes' forums, so sorry if this should go somewhere else or anything along those lines.

Well, yeah, the Trope Finder is the right place for such things.
