Mars
The Planet Mars

Colonization
Ten colonies sprung up on the surface of Mars. Two for each of the Orbital Nations.

Orbital Stations
Shortly after The Exodus began nations, and companies of Earth began colonization attempts of Mars. Included were the first orbital stations.

These included

North America Station
Canada, the United States and Mexico constructed three Orbital stations. One of which orbited Mars. It was designed to allow each country a self contained zone while allowing travel between each other without passing through mid-zones.

Each Zone has a completely separate climate controls, subdivided into sub-zones.

South America Station
A conglomerate of South American countries with the assistance of others managed to begin construction of two Orbital Stations, one of which was in Mars Orbit. While approximately half the size of North America's orbital station it manages to maintain zones named after their earth counterparts.

European Station
A conglomerate of European countries excluding Britain constructed a total of four orbital stations, one of which in Mars Orbit.

Rus-Asia Station
A conglomerate of Russia and Asian countries constructed what became to be considered the first largest orbital station of the first two centuries of mankinds first age in space. The second largest was also theirs and constructed in Jupiters orbit. Consists of four major zones comparable to the North American Station. Russia, China, Japan, and one for a combination of Korea and others. (North Korea becomes a subsection of the Chinese Zone)

Its Orbit is opposite of Royal Briton, North America, and European Stations.

The Rus-Asian alliance has attempted to claim sole ownership rights to Mars multiple times on the basis it constructed the first orbital "platform" before others arrived (It was a satellite big enough for two men and it arrived seconds before the others, in a questionable orbit).

Royal Briton Station
The British monarchy, and the commonweath countries came together to construct three Royal Briton Stations. Eventually 7 had been constructed across the solar system for the benefit of the "commonwealth".

Its Orbital Zone compliments European Station and the North American Station.

Mining Stations
There are 12 mining locations on the surface of Mars. 8 projects involving contract agreements with the orbital stations. Four with "Private" contracts between various private organizations.
