  1. Redalia: The First Month of the Marsian Year. The Martian calendar is a well-established system that guides the daily lives of the planet’s inhabitants. Redalia marks the beginning of this calendar, named after the iconic red hue of Mars, which is due to the prevalence of iron oxide dust on its surface.
  2. Mars is divided into 66 regions, each with its own unique characteristics and communities. These regions are governed by the Supreme Martian Authority - SMA, a centralized government tasked with ensuring the welfare and prosperity of the planet's inhabitants.
