Honestly, the only reason I moved up to the 2020's myself was because, well it gave space to make the Knight Sabers seem like something that hadn't popped out of nowhere but had real time and almost dangerous obsessiveness invested in them, and a little space to play around a little without squashing anyone
Although, having Sailor Atlalantae as Queen does.... that does interesting things. It might give me an excuse to use a plotbunny I'd stored up for CiTD in the mainline.....
Meanwhile on Mars, the Mars Terraforming Council continues to expand its remit to issues that affect the entire planet as a whole, including planetary infrastructure such as inter-settlement railway lines, overland highways and an inter-settlement rescue service, and is steadily morphing into something that lies between the United Nations and the European Union. There're talks of setting up Martian Battlegroups and even a small standing army using units rotated out of factional security forces to provide rapid defense of any settlement attacked by raiders. Banditry is also on the rise in some of the remoter parts of the planet. There have been discussions on the terraforming council claiming specific sovereignty over the unclaimed lands of mars, ostensibly to regulate settlements and keep people from setting up home in areas due to be flooded within the next decade. These discussions have been virtriolic, vehement and are slowly grinding towards a consensus.
Atmospheric pressure outside has increased to the point where the average surface pressure is now above the Armstrong limit. By the end of the decade the atmosphere is expected to have reached the point where it is possible for an unaugmented human to be out of doors with only the aid of a respirator.
Martian population demographics have shifted more towards the mundane, with many of the latest settlers now emigrants from Earth seeing the potential of a terraformed Mars as something like the Unites States in the 19th Century. There's a lot of a space out there just waiting for someone to set up home on it. They have little to no interested in such things as factions or fandoms... most are just up because the work is there. The Martian Dream has been mentioned aloud in some parts of the world.
There have been noises about attempting to open up diplomatic relations with the United Nations of Earth, but no-one is quite sure how exactly to handle interplanetary diplomacy, especially when the individual member factions can barely agree on railway line routings or cometary impact sites. One thing is certain, however.... some form of communication will need to be established. Trade and emigration between worlds will need to be built up on some form of framework.
