Think about all that distance. If a whole separate government didn't develop I'd be shocked.

And the head of government on Mars is the same guy as the one that is running X. And he's responsible for the oxygen you breath. If that doesn't fill you with confidence.

He'd probably become another Cohagen from Total Recall

If it'd fill you with confidence, he'd charge you for the confidence

They'd need an epstein drive to gain independence though, no way mars would be rich enough by itself to win a conventional war for independence.

There wouldn't be a conventional war because they're on Mars. Deployment time from one planet to the other would be so long I don't even think you could keep the people motivated enough to fight.
