Colonialism

The pioneer spirit is alive in the solar system, freed of the negative connotations of taking away someone else’s land. Mars, the asteroid belt, underwater, and elsewhere provide a chance for nations to peacefully exercise their aspirations and for individuals to make new lives. Ideological groups (see Plymouth Rock Society), corporations, governments, or family members who have already arrived and made good often subsidize individual colonists. There are usually conditions. For example, a skilled mining engineer who signs a one-year contract with System Technologies AG can emigrate to Mercury for free, and the Elandra administration offers allowances to anyone who accepts biomod gill implants and agrees to have aquatic parahuman children.
