Free Mars
"Free Mars is our compromise. They leave us to our business, and I don't drink my wine out of the Speaker's skull."
~Rifanid Skullcrusher Neamhan.
The Charter
The Free Martian Government, headquartered on Olympus Mons, is founded on a charter that enshrines individual rights and martial responsibilities. This semi-independent government breaks away from the Pan Solar Consortium's Earth-centric meritocracy, seeking self-determination for Mars. The charter establishes the Rifanid as the supreme commander of the Martian Militia and head of the republic, elected solely by active Militia personnel. The Free Mars Senate, comprising three representatives from each clan, ensures diverse perspectives, with each trio sharing a single vote. This unique governance structure prioritizes collective security and individual independence for regions, settlements, clans, and even households.Mars for Martians
Free Mars is unapologetically Martian-centric, prioritizing the interests and autonomy of its citizens. The government's primary mission is to safeguard Martian independence within the Pan-Solar Consortium. This commitment is embodied in the Martian Militia, a planetary military and government establishment that represents citizens' collective duty. By fulfilling this duty, Martians earn the freedom to pursue their individual interests without undue interference. The Martian Militia is the backbone of Free Mars, defending against external threats and maintaining internal security. This unwavering dedication to Martian sovereignty is encapsulated in the current Rifanid's defiant shibboleth: "Mars will shatter before Martians would kneel."Individuality
Individual freedom is the cornerstone of Free Mars' philosophy. Once citizens have fulfilled their martial duty, they are essentially free to pursue their passions without assistance or interference beyond basic security. This emphasis on personal autonomy fosters a unique culture, where Martians can thrive without the burdens of authoritarian oversight. The government's focus on collective defense and internal security creates an environment where individual creativity, entrepreneurship, and innovation can flourish, and one where @ . Free Mars rejects the soft authoritarianism of the Pan Solar Consortium, instead embracing a rugged, self-reliant individualism that defines the Martian spirit. As Rifanid Skullcrusher Neamhan declares, "All the clones and robots and commandoes in human space couldn't defeat the Martian Militia."
