Niobeh Mara Collective

Summary
The Niobeh Mara Collectives, or NMC, are an amalgamation of various cities, known as Mara Cities, that exist in the acidic seas of Venus. Not all of the Mara Cities are part of this collective, however their numbers are growing. This is due to both the increased need for Mara Cities which are the primary terraforming mechanisms for the de-acidification of the seas and because the increased threats from the other nations to forgo their sovereignty for protection and trade deals. As time has passed on Venus, these Mara Cities have found themselves increasingly at odds with the culture and politics of their land based neighbors. Perhaps more than any other nationality, the people of the Mara Cities are acutely aware of the environmental issues humanity faces on Venus. The decision to form the Niobeh Mara Collectives was largely motivated by the desire to ensure that terraforming on Venus would continue despite international conflicts. To the people of the NMC, the life the planet is more important than money or power. It is their philosophy that without their benefit, there wouldn't be water or air on Venus to support the nations that have decided to fight instead of cooperating.
