Mars

The planet of Mars is the fourth planet in the Sol System. Due to its close proximity to Earth, and the fact it is rich in minerals, Mars has been heavily colonised by the nations of Earth. It is colloquially called the "Red Planet" due to the high amount of iron oxide in its terrain. Even after terraforming, it still retains its ruddy colour due to the iron oxide everywhere. The sand is red, the soil is quite red, even the sea is somewhat reddish.

Nations and colonies on Mars include:

Coprates

Huoxingzhou

New Epekwitk

New Sparta

Olympus Mons Confederacy

Mars has two moons, Deimos and Phobos, both of which are nominally owned by the United States, though they are de facto under control of Ares Exploration.
