Description
This is for my Second Renaissance timeline that I have been working on for a while now. The basic premise behind this map being that by 2050 humanity had made Mars largely habitable and the great superpowers of Earth began to settle and divide up the planet. The territories are inspired by existing geographic locations, unmanned landing sites and my own ideas.The Outer Colonies
The Inner Colonies
Future Old Glory

Why is it called Westsylvania? Is there a woodland in that area? I'm curious.

In this timeline the answer was yes, but having spent frankly an abusrd amount of time studying martian maps, I can say that's an absurd prospect, as the western coast of Tharsis has a lot of varying topographical differences that would lead to a more varied series of biomes... also I'm over the whole "Less States. Bigger States" thing that every map maker seems to go through in their beginnings. My new map does feature a state called Westylvania, but its much smaller, and wrests on the heart ofΒ Lycus Sulci, which is a terrain feature defined elevated rougher terrain with rolling shallow hills, similar to Pennsylvania. The topography makes it preferable to support a woodland area there.Β

This was a previous incarnation of the Second Renaissance, so its no longer cannon, but there is no Russia by this point in history. In this version of the TL, climate change literally splits Sibera and European Russia apart, and the European Russians end up joining the EU, and yes I realize that sounds kinda stupid now.

Alright, wicked. How about naming the bodies of water too while you're at it?

Was going to post that you had forgotten Mexico, Korea, Turkey, Canada and Australia, but then checked out the Second Renaissance maps and it mostly made sense.
Why does Africa have a colony, though, but not Turkestan? Surely if the Baikonur Cosmodrome is anything to go by Turkestan ought to be among the more established of the space powers? The same argument could be applied to the Oceanic Union, whose economies are more advanced than the African ones.
And, referring back to the first paragraph of this post, if Mexico and Korea have been assimilated by the US and China respectively shouldn't there be more representation of them in the placenames of their ruling dynasties? Like - say, for instance - Tenochtitlan II as part of Jefferson. The British and French may likewise not be too impressed with their omission from the European regions.

Holy shit, someone who actually bothered to check the rest of my timeline before commenting about my scenarios.
As for your query I plan on making an updated map that should resolve these issues.

Intresting.... Good!
Uhm , ,,Persian Mars"?
π: 0 β©: 1
These colonies weren't established by government sponsored space programs. A single private firm was contracted to set up these colonies, this is the same organization that terraformed the planet.

I really doubt Africa would be able to launch a rocket to Mars, even in 2050.

Anyway wow! New Poland! Thank you very much :3

No Problem, you're becoming one of the most dynamic economies in the EU, I figured a Polish colony would make sense.

Cool thing, but I doubt African Mars (until we talk about SAR of course). Anyway, where's Russia?

Check out my Second Renaissance Page, everything in there is related to this map. Long Story Short Russia was absorbed by the European Federal Union in the 2020s.

Oh my god, that's been there this whole time and I never noticed. Thanks for the heads up.

anything for a fellow cartographer xD

Of all the terraformed Mars projects I've done, the best land has always been where you have the US and Chinese parts, and NE India. Everything else is pretty much frozen wasteland, especially Olympus. Only thing valuable there would be a prime location for a space elevator on Pavonis Mons.

African Mars
One would think we would be over this "nationality" nonsense when entering the space exploration age.

Ugh... Its the idea of the African Union or the proposed United States of Africa being able to eak out a chunk of land on Mars.

Africa is thousands years behind the rest of the World. Tribal wars, poor ethics, poor work ethics... I don't believe they catch up before 2200.
π: 0 β©: 1
I wouldn't say thousands, they only fight with 50 year old Kaleshnikovs these days. But don't sell Africa short on space tech, there is potential.

Cultural development is more important than technology. If you give technology to someone with poor ethics, it will only make his victims more numerous. It will take a few generations to get over these tribal states, don't you think?
π: 0 β©: 1
Hm... depends. Culture is a byproduct of economic circumstance, and that may be changing with Chinese investments in the East. As China pumps money into these economies via building rail-lines, roads, and other infrastructure (all for their own desire to access untapped African resources) that translates of more commerce across Africa which in turn leads to economic development. As their economy improves, violence will go down. Kind of a round about way from the prospect of colonizing Mars though

or you get the very first RUFSC : Rebel United Front Space Cadets, fighting in a Martian Sierra Leon with ligthsabbers

"African Mars", "South American Mars"? I think a greater accomplishment is that these regions were able to hang together well enough to establish united colonies

LOL Japanesse region is called Sinnoh.
Indian will also gain territory for them own. For how long? History repeats itself.
