Sovereignty

Who would have sovereignty of Mars?

In the past most sovereignty has been reaped by the people who live there, except for Empire building Nations.

Britain tried to maintain sovereignty of the USA but the logistics of information and the time to get from Britain to the USA in the end gave sway, yet even today Britain keeps a number of sovereign outposts all across the world.
