Still a WIP. I have taken the liberty of claimed North America, just to show it a little love.

Faction Name:
The Imperium (Official name)
Imperial High Command (Ruling body)
Imperialists (Common among outsiders and citizens)

Faction Government:
Meritocratic-Stratocracy: The ruling political organization of the Imperium is the 'Imperial High Command, and it acts as the head of the military. In the Imperium, the military controls every aspect of the political landscape; there is no separation between the warfare and politics. In fact, Generals stand as the ruling body of the 'Imperial High Command', which is led by the 'High General', who is voted in by the his or her contemporaries. As is such, any solider who proves themselves on the field of battle in all aspects of war, is subject to scrutiny and have a fair chance at the throne. This same meritocratic system gives both citizen and non-citizens, females and males, an opportunity to make use of their various talents and strengths in the the empires infrastructure.

Territory/Claims:
Imperium Prime
Aeolis Quadrangle
Eridania Quadrangle
Elysium Quadrangle
Olympus Mons

The center piece of an ever expanding empire, the  Imperium claims over 25% percent of the Martian surface as their own; starting from the centermost of the Aeolis quadrangle which houses the nations capital: Imperium Prime, a massive metropolis carved deep into the base of Mount Sharp, and sprawled across the Gale Crater; to the conquered peaks of Olympus Mons; the mining colony recently conquered from Jötunn control.

To the west of Olympus Mons lies the Aeolis Quadrangle and Eridania Quadrangle, land claimed during the Colonization Era for manufacturing a vast array of products for cheap and easy shipment to the Asteroid Bely. As is such, the landscape is marred by vast factories producing the bulk of the nations much needed food, energy, transportation vehicles, and military technologies. 

To the south lies the Elysium Quadrangle, one of the Imperium's most recent successes in the Martian Campaign. While the Aeolis Quadrangle and Eridania Quadrangle are marked by vast factory cities, Elysium houses the vast majority of colony turned metropolis'; a home to millions of persons now thrust into combat roles according to Imperium doctrine.

Originally founded as a ship manufacturing plant in the 21st Century, Decelea has expanded into a massive complex of orbital shipyards, refineries, construction facilities and space-docks in low aerostationary orbit above the Eridania Quadrangle that churns out the bulk of the Imperium's various Fleet ships and doubles as the Imperium's' main interstellar base, training pilots and directing the Imperial Fleet.

Once a mining outpost, the largest and closest moon of Mars now serves as a military surveillance outpost, taking in vast amounts of information on the nations neighbors as it orbits the planet at record speeds.

Culture:
The citizenry of the Imperium generally stands behind the principle that "only the strong survive", regarding the qualities of benevolence and compassion as signs of weakness. Strength begets strength, at least as far as the people of the Imperium are concerned. This seeming cruelty, however, is not an indicator of chaos. As is naturally and necessarily the case with humankind, the Star Imperium is an orderly nation, where rules protect the citizenry from harm... at least from their peers. In the Imperium, however, those with power are clearly protected by the law more than those without it. 

A nation of brutal expansionists, military service in the Imperium is compulsory for a period of eight years, with all of its citizens retained as active reservists until their golden years. Active military personnel are afforded a higher level of citizenship in Imperial society; offering them Stewardship opportunities and familial acclaim, so it is not uncommon for most citizens to remain active in the military for fifteen or more years.

Once one completes his or her service, citizenship is normalized and freedom to pursue personal agendas are granted. Citizens can open businesses under the Imperium name, affording them trade with the national allies or commerce within his or her community. Employment in infrastructure is also looked upon highly, especially in the militaries regard.

Children on the other hand, are prepared for future basking in the legacy of their nation at a tender age. From seven, children are sent to Agoge, a rigorous education and training program mandated for all Imperial citizens. Training involves mastering stealth, cultivating loyalty to the Imperium, extensive military training, social (communicating) preparation, business management and advanced levels of math, reading, and language. At eighteen, the just turned adult is thus ready to begin his or her mandated eight years of service. 

As the Imperium expands and defeats neighboring cultures and cities, it offers the conquered people a choice; swear loyalty to the Imperium, and be judged solely on your worth, or be destroyed. This is not subterfuge or any kind of ruse; the Imperials are as good as their word, and many who have embraced their conquerors' way of life find their prospects greatly improved. But those who refuse to bend the knee are crushed without mercy and made nigh-slaves. Whether a city or a company is taken by force or willingly swears fealty to the Imperium, its warmasons immediately set to work in stamping the empire's authority upon the newly acquired territory. Flags are ripped of their masts and replaced, traditional garb is burned to ash and Imperium colors soaked into its peoples hearts.

Conquered peoples that swear loyalty to the Imperium become part of its armies and add their unique strengths to the empire's war efforts. Thus, regimentation and uniformity are anathema to the Imperial way of life. Nevertheless, conquered peoples aren't offered a full-citizenship with regards to military enlistment; only a pseudo-citizenship that allows one to work until a required fifteen years of military service is completed, then full-citizenship is granted.

Those who refuse the Imperium's generous offer are forcibly taken slaves and refused the right to earn a pseudo-citizenship unless one willingly joins the military and completes a full fifteen years of service, then a full-citizenship is granted.

Imperial archivists date the start of the Imperium back to 21st Century, burning the boon of interstellar colonization.
