Earth's capital, Sydney, is now host to diplomats from countless species.

English is the lingua franca of Earth (and all of humanity), to the point where many aliens refer to it as the "Human language", although over 70% of Terrans are at least bilingual. However, during the Mass Effect Era, with the introduction of the Citadel races' translation devices, the rate of children being raised as polyglots dropped substantially.

Humans, compared to many races in the galaxy, have a relatively militaristic society. While not quite on the level of Turians or Sangheili, some of the more peaceful species are quite disturbed by human history.

Terrans have had rocky relations with citizens of humanity's Outer Colonies. Many colonists view Terrans as arrogant and ignorant, whilst they view the colonists as uncultured. This is in large part due to the Insurrection.
