Use the tag under the following condition:
- The location of the game takes place on serveral continents. For example "global strategy" games or when a player character visits several locations around the Earth throughout the story like Indiana Jones.
Do not use the tag if:
- The location can be further specified with other more specific location tags (e.g. for specific countries, towns etc.)
- For abstract games that are "supposed" to take place somewhere on Earth, but the location itself has no meaning (e.g. in simple sport games, board games etc.)

Since nothing in the game flags tell where the game takes place (not even hinting on it, except with historical games), this is to identify cases which definitely are set on Earth, even if the more specific location is fictional.
This is in relation to the "real world", so this does NOT apply to cases where the planet or world is called Earth but has no relation (world map is randomly generated) to the real thing.
However, fictional locations on Earth do count.
