United Federation of Martial Colonies
The United Federation of Martial Colonies (UFMC) is the main country encompassing colonies on Mars. A few colonies remain outside it's official control, remaining under the authority of the Earth-based countries and companies originally responsible for establishing them, but they are generally very heavily reliant on the UFMC. Additionally, a small collection of colonies belong to the Sovereign Hellan Republic (SHR), a small country located in the Hellas Basin that split away from the UFMC about 50 years ago.
Religion
Though the UFMC's population is primarily secular, it maintains a sizeable population of Christians (mostly of Russian Orthodox and American Protestant denominations), and pockets of minority religions.
Foreign Relations
The UFMC is on fairly amiable terms with most other countries in the System, having become established well enough for the tensions of the Martial War of Independence to have long since cooled. There are some intense tensions with the Sovereign Hellan Republic, which broke away from the UFMC, and contains some very valuable mineral resources and infrastructure, which has lead to discussions of an embargo in the UFMC Planetary Congress--something which has been extremely contentious, especially given that an embargo was one of the foremost tools used to attempt to squash the Martial independence movement.
