However, I can imagine that some people weren't exactly thrilled about the idea of being ruled by two people (in the anime and most likely in the manga). The other countries don't seem to be important enough to be mentioned in the anime and manga. When people like that (Prince of the Earth, defenders of Earth) become rulers, it's not necessary to postulate hypothetical, significant government bodies on Earth that are not part of King Endymion's and Neo Queen Serenity's jurisdiction.
One could quibble with that inference, but the pattern "Prince of Earth becoming King of Earth" is much more analogous than "Prince of Earth becoming King of just a certain part of Earth." Moreover, if Neo Queen Serenity is King Endymion's royal wife, and both of them are responsible for the safety of the planet, then she should be the Queen of the Earth. If Mamoru is the prince of the Earth, and the planet is part of his collection of inheritances, we would use inference to say that he should be the King of the Earth when he becomes King Endymion. At one point, Usagi tells us that she and Mamoru are the main defenders of Earth. At any rate, we do know that Mamoru, as Endymion, is the prince of the Earth. No other part of Earth is ever mentioned to be particularly significant. However, I did notice that whenever Diana and King Endymion talk about their affiliations in relation to Earth and Crystal Tokyo, they tend to use "Earth" generally and "Crystal Tokyo" in particular. I don't remember anyone specifically saying that Neo Queen Serenity is the ruler of Earth in the manga. Crystal Tokyo is the capital of the planet. I'm fairly certain that, in the anime, King Endymion explains that Neo Queen Serenity is the ruler of Earth.
