This topic is set up for NewMars members who wish to provide links, images or text in support of a federal form of government for Mars.
This topic was NOT present, despite the type being mentioned in other topics.
Update:
We need a definition of the term "federal government"
Here is an attempt by Google to define the term:
A federal government is a system where power is divided between a central authority (national government) and regional governments (states or provinces). This division ensures that the national government handles matters of national concern, while regional governments address local issues. The U.S. federal government, for example, is composed of three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial.
Elaboration:
Centralized Power:
In a federal system, the central government holds ultimate authority and is often responsible for national defense, foreign policy, currency, and other matters of national importance.
Regional Autonomy:
State or provincial governments retain their own powers and responsibilities, typically including education, law enforcement, and local governance.Shared Powers:
Some powers are shared between the central and regional governments, requiring cooperation and coordination.Constitutional Basis:
Federal systems are usually established through a constitution that clearly outlines the powers and responsibilities of each level of government.Examples:
The United States, Canada, and Germany are examples of countries with federal governments.

Post #3: A quote from a post by RobertDyck about federal form of government

This is a quote from a post by Robertdyck in a topic about "corporate" government.
My system has a federal government that ensures no war, by halting anyone who attempts war, and seizing weapons of war. The federal government allocates land. The federal police would ensure no one tries to become a roving pirate, driving a vehicle around the outback, stealing people's stuff and taking captives as slaves. Federal police would stop that. I read ancient Greece had a problem that individuals travelling from one Greek city-state to another could be captured on the road, taken as slaves. For a long time, city police of the capital city would double as federal police, but only federal laws enforced outside city limits.
I would observe that a federal form of government cannot prevent civil war. A famous experiment with federal government by the United States demonstrates the inability of the federal form to prevent civil war.
