Well whenever a country tried to do that here, it didn't go well. Look at history, it us the same as going to the new world, except this time it is a new world.

The colonizing organization could themselves be your self-governed entity after seceding from Earth. Those who made the tech and time investment to make Mars comfy wouldn't have to remove themselves from Mars, but rather remove themselves from Earth. Those who govern a place should be in that place to be most viscerally connected to its needs and successes. This philosophy would exclude foreign (Earthly) governance.
