Demographics and Governance on Mars (2525)
Demographics and Governance on Mars
The societal structure and governance of Mars[1] have evolved into a complex system that reflects the diverse origins and roles of its inhabitants. The following is an overview of the demographic classifications and governing body that oversee Martian society.
Martians
Individuals born on Mars are referred to as Martian People. They are the native population of the planet and are distinguished by their unique adaptation to the Martian environment. Martians enjoy full citizenship rights and are integral to the cultural and social fabric of Martian society.
Residents
Those not born on Mars but who have chosen to make the planet their home are known as residents. Residents may come from various interplanetary backgrounds and typically migrate to Mars for opportunities in commerce, research, or personal pursuits. While they do not possess the same status as Martians, residents are granted certain rights and privileges that facilitate their integration into Martian life.
Tourists
Visitors to Mars are required to obtain a Martian TravelCard - MT to ensure their temporary stay is documented and regulated. The TravelCard serves as a multi-purpose identification, granting tourists access to designated areas and services intended for non-permanent visitors.
Martian Work Permit (MWP)
Non-Martian individuals seeking employment on Mars must secure a Martian Work Permit (MWP). The MWP is a mandatory document that authorizes the holder to engage in professional activities on the planet. It ensures that all workers, regardless of origin, contribute to the Martian economy and adhere to its labor laws.
Supreme Martian Authority (SMA)
The governing body of Mars is the Supreme Martian Authority (SMA). The SMA is responsible for the administration of the planet, overseeing everything from immigration and residency to economic policies and interplanetary relations. It operates with the goal of maintaining order and prosperity for all who live on and visit Mars.
