 As to the matter discussed above of GalCop being unaware of the existence of the Feds and Imperials, this simply cannot be the case.  Earth is only 20 light years away from the upper edge of GalCop space, and there is not enough space there for there to be anything of major consequence blocking them off.  A war zone would not be likely due to the fact that Feds and GalCop would both be involved in the conflict, with the area being so close to Earth. Add to this the fact that Achenar falls within the GalCop map for Gal1.  There is no way of twisting or turning the map enough to get Achenar out of the way.  Hence, Achenar is there – like it or not.
 The Galactic Federation (or GalFederation) is mentioned a few times in the manual, so we know from this that GalCop is aware of the Federation and vice-versa, since 2845 saw the publication of a treatise on the Federation itself – so GalCop are obviously watching and commenting on their neighbouring organisation.  This raises the original question again – where is Earth in Elite?  It can be surmised that Earth is still around, it is just impossible to travel to it.  The knowledge that both Federation and Empire require payment of a huge fine to allow pilots starting at Lave in Frontier to dock at any of their stations would point to some sort of conflict – possibly a political upheaval or cataclysmic event that resulted in those affiliated with GalCop being banished or exiled from Federation / Empire space.
