[Borderlands] Where is everyone? Surely these massive corporations have to have their HQ somewhere nicer than some backwater like Pandora. Is Earth still around? Where's the rest of humanity living? Why are there massive abandoned/in-progress built cities when the population is so sparce?

Depends on each corporation. But none are based on Pandora itself. Atlas operates on promethia but it's not their original homebase. Jakobs is settled into a more swampy forested world. Torgue IIRC is based in a large space station that has a giant arena for Mr Torgue to distract himself with. Everybody else is pretty much unknown. Pandora itself was originally colonized by the Dahl corporation. After being mined for all easily accessible ores it was turned into a penal colony. Short while after that Dahl abandoned the planet entirely. Some time after that Atlas moved in exploring rumors of a possible Vault on the world. After their sudden and violent death Hyperion took ownership for 5 years before being forced to abandon the planet by local resistance.
