[ WP ] You discover that Earth is the `` North Korea '' of the galaxy

It turns out extraterrestrials have been watching us for a while, as a human might study an anthill. `` What dangerous creatures!'' They say. `` What evil wickerwhackers!'' `` How non-evolved, how disgustingly!''. The Cosmic Council meet every week on the case-file of what to do with this damned earth - too weak and self involved to join the Galactic Federation, too curious to leave alone. It is said that the people of earth are like small children with big toys. Many an celestial being has attempted to manifest itself into the dense rubbery flesh, taking it upon themselves to raise earth up, seeing that ultimately they are good people and wishing for them to join the Federation and benefit from technology that is far beyond the comprehension of a human mind. But, mostly, the human population is humored by the Federation, in amongst it's little tantrums and dalliances, proving itself far too immature at this moment in time. One day, they say, earth will be liberated from it's tyrants. Only when the time is right.
