The subterranean world is governed and maintained solely by the Black Martians, who built four great pumping stations to keep it from filling to a certain level. This water is redirected far to the north, were it is emptied into the irrigation system built by Red Martians. The sea dotted with many islands, with the vegetation being colorless.
