I imagine Martian colonies will be basically ignored for ~150 years until they grow to the point that they start having interests that conflict with the homeworld's. After that, it'll basically be a matter of waiting until trade disputes escalate and the legal system fails to contain tensions.

Anyways, since there's not really a means of projecting power across interplanetary gulfs, I figure it'll go pretty well for the Martians if they don't turn it into a rock-throwing contest. Of course, that doesn't mean all of Mars would get independence at once or even be politically united. Geopolitics still applies on Mars, after all. Or would that be Areanpolitics? You get the point.

The Label flavors. Oh, how I miss their overly sugary taste.
