i wanna say, until we have technology of the aliens film. the atmospheric processors and Hadleys hope (http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Hadley%27s_Hope) we just wont be able to live there. your entire lifes will be spent on repairing, generating oxygen, maintaining heating systems, dealing with disasters like loss of pressurization. it would be a enormous feat for even a large country to do such a thing if there was a place like that on earth.

Well if we go by all the movies, lets skip the war and grant them independence NOW!

Initially? no, no more than Australia, USA, or Canada was independent when first colonized. Over time Mars may become independent, or perhaps autonomous, or even part of some sort of solar system federation with Earth as an equal partner. Only time will tell.

Might be wishful thinking, but I sincerely hope it's never colonised by earth based governments. Even the smaller ones have large enough cartels as it is.

It's up to the people who'll live there eventually. If an Earth based government makes a law for Mars citizens who'll enforce it? The Martian people could just say "Nah, fuck that".
