Mars

Mars is a mostly barren planet. Although Mars once had life, between 2-1.5 Billion B.C.E., It died out with the planet's ecological collapse. Liquid water on the planet would become a rarity and eventually all but disappear, with remaining reserves at the poles of the planet. The atmosphere became filled with carbon dioxide and thinned. Today Mars is dominated by the geological remnants of a more eventful past. The landscape is dominated by frozen deltas that haven't carried water in billions of years, Volcanos that haven't erupted for hundreds of millions, and canyons formed by water now long lost. But just in the past 250 years, Humans have moved on to the planet and begun to introduce change for the first time in hundreds of millions of years. Giant orbital mirrors have begun to melt the ice caps and bacteria have begun to thicken the atmosphere and introduce oxygen. Water flows in small streams to ponds, with algae dotting the surface.

Mars was home to life between 2,000,000,000 and  1,500,000,000 B.C. In modern times, Life on Mars is of Earthly origin. Life consists of bacteria, algae, and some basic plants. However, the process of primary succession has set in. By 2400, Mosses will be able to grow. By 2600, the atmosphere will begin to maintain temperatures above freezing on its own. Around this time, the planet's atmosphere will also have enough oxygen to support small multicellular life. By 2750, Grasses will begin to spread on the surface. Around 2850, The Martian surface will expect rainfall for the first time in billions of years as the amount of liquid water on the surface is sizable enough to form liquid water clouds. In 2920, The sky will turn abruptly from reddish to blue as the atmosphere begins to be breathable. By 3000, small animals will be able to live on the surface as grasses cover the surface of the planet. By 3200, Bushes and large animals, including humans, will be able to live on the planet. Oceans will have developed by this point. By 3400, Biodomes will no longer be necessary as the planet can now support trees, marine life, and almost anything that can live on earth. However, it will require attention from humanity, as to keep the planet from reverting to the wasteland it was before.

Mars, due to a planetary tilt, has seasons much like Earth. The average temperature in the hemisphere that is in summer is about 56 Degrees F, while in winter the temperature falls to an average of 34 Degrees F.

Life on Mars currently consists mostly of Aglae and other oxygen-producing bacteria. Much of this life was taken from Earth's North Atlantic Ocean. There are currently no Plants able to grow on the surface outside of a controlled environment, and no animals can survive either.

The Most important Natural Resources of Mars are metals, such as Magnesium, Titanium, Iron, Lithium, and Zinc, among many others. Some Martian States have built their economy off of mining, while others have banned it entirely.
