On this day, 25th of September, 2025, the private entity 'We Own Mars' hereby declares its sovereign claim over the entirety of the planet Mars. We make this claim in full consideration of the 1967 Outer Space Treaty. Article II of this treaty explicitly prohibits national appropriation of celestial bodies. As 'We Own Mars' is a non-governmental, private organization, we are not a nation-state. Therefore, based on a verbatim reading of the text, this specific prohibition does not apply to our entity. The planet Mars is henceforth the exclusive property of 'We Own Mars'. For use for all of mankind, not just the rich few.
