In lots of sci-fi, it's often that in societies with flying vehicles they have "sky lanes" where flying vehicles are confined to specific altitudes at varying heights, with only specially licensed vehicles able to operate outside of those restrictions, to limit the potential for random collisions. Coruscant, in Star Wars, for instance.
Of course they do as names for areas. But there is a worldwide government headed by the president of earth: Richard Nixon. And the inhabitants of earth are called "Earthicans". Brilliantly thought out comedy.

Makes sense: he was also meant to be the voice of Zapp Brannigan. Phil Hartman played a character called Blasto in a video game of the same name, the voice he used is pretty similar to the one he was going to do for Zapp.
Honestly, he could've been the best thing to happen to them if his deal had gone through. Think about it, through 80s bullshit and upselling (no actual delivery business), he significantly raised their stock portfolios. Which Hermes mentioned were worthless to the point of giving Zoidberg > 50% of the company as toilet paper. He'd have made them more money than in their lifetime of working there, which by series end had faced multiple foreclosures. Not to mention that if he didn't sell, Mom as the largest corporation ever would've crushed them either way. Because that's capitalism.
