==History==
===Pre-statehood ===
Opportunity began as two small colonies called Aram and Horizon first established in 1999. The colonies were the smallest on Mars, as well as the most sustainable. After the American parts of the planet were terraformed, the two colonies became territories eligible for statehood when their population grew. In 2009 under the direction of territorial governors Patrice Ellegood and Ricardo Wiggins, the two territories were combined and were renamed Opportunity, after one of the first Martian rovers to land on the planet. Horizon was soon renamed Opportunity City, and Aram was renamed Aram Bay (now the two largest cities in the state). In 2011, The territory then became a part of the Ares provisional commonwealth, a group of 6 Martian states that would have a premier after the approval from the United States Senate. From then on, Opportunity's population skyrocketed. The territorial government was establishing schools and universities, hospitals, other public services. It was not long until politicians from Opportunity demanded statehood.
