PDRM Citizen
The second most common citizenship in the solar system (After UN Citizenship), Martian Citizenship confers a lot of benefits, as well as some responsibility. It is generally seen as a positive thing to have, as the PDRM is vigilant in protecting her citizenry. This can be held by any thinking being and such can be held by AI with more than HV-0.9.
Requirements
Birth on Mars or an associated settlement to at least one Martian Parent confers citizenship.
A person with a PDRM Associated Citizenship (See PDRM Small State Diplomatic Policy) can become a citizen after passing a basic comprehension test and living on mars or a PDRM station for 1 martian year
A person with any other citizenship must live on Mars for at least 2 martian years, and pass a more comprehensive comprehension test, and a test on martian history and culture. Then, their case will be reviewed by a mind and a decision will be made. They can try again every 1 martian year.

Grounds for Removal/Dismissal
Under extreme legal cases, such as high treason, a Martian citizen can be stripped of their title and sent the next available transit to a colony willing to accept them. If a colony cannot be found, then they can either suffer a considerable jail term and still loose their citizenship, or be rewritten and get it back.
