In any case, my statement was a response to the claim that Lacus somehow "completed her power grab and controls the Earth Sphere now". This is a rather extraordinary assertion, and I'd expect some sort of extraordinary evidence for it.

The C.E. is, essentially, the 21st Century (in terms of, it's C.E. 74 and it WILL be the 22nd Century soon).
This is not the 17th, 18th, or even 19th centuries when trans-Atlantic travel took weeks. It's the 21st century. Instantaneous communication, global-trade, space travel, etc.
Do you really think that PLANT and the world could hold isolationist views towards each other?
At the very least, there are certain things that humans are incapable of reproducing that they will want. PLANT HAS to trade with Earth for some things and once you get trade, you get political concerns.
