It's fully terraformed - specifically engineered plants and animals live by recently formed canals and stormy seas - and it is politically independent. Most of the First Hundred have died. Those that remain are like walking myths to Martian youth.
Chronic overpopulation, bitter nationalism, scarce resources; to too many Terrans, Mars is a mocking utopia. A dream to live for, fight for.. perhaps even die for.
Genre: Science Fiction
