I'm working on a Sci-fi story right now where there's a human colony on Mars, and I can't think of a good name for it. Mars City just sounds painfully lame. What should I call it?
Also, the colony, while technically under the control of the UN, is really governed by the corporation which built it. What would one call that? Corpocracy?
Thank you in advance, and if this belongs in a different forum please feel free to move it.

Questions for story I'm writing
"I want to mow down a bunch of motherfuckers with absurdly large weapons and relative impunity - preferably in and around a skyscraper. Then I want to fight a grim battle against the unlikely duo of the Terminator and Robocop. The last level should involve (but not be limited to) multiple robo-Hitlers and a gorillasaurus rex."--Uraniun235 on his ideal FPS game

I'm not sure where it'll be yet. I've been looking through an astronomy textbook trying to find what the most hospitable place on Mars for a colony is, but I haven't really made a decision yet. Olympus Mons, being a volcano and all, probably wouldn't be that people friendly of an area (please correct me if I'm wrong).

Campus Martius could work, though Aya's mention of OM now has me fighting the urge to name the place Olympus or something along that line.

I've decided to call it Campus Martius. Thanks to all who offered an idea.
