Unfortunately for the Socialist Republic of Juneau, there were a finite number of resources in Juneau itself, so they had to go forth and collect more from the surrounding communities. These selfless efforts saved many thousands of lives and the collective prospered as time went by and they added new communities. They also found less wasteful ways to cast out the disloyal as their power grew. Once they had access to continental land, they simply dropped those who would not fit in with their new society on dry land outside their borders and let them go off to find whatever life they wished to live outside the bounds of civilization. The Socialist Republic of Juneau had to focus its efforts on saving those who wished to work for the collective, but they always maintained an open immigration policy. Even those who left were welcomed back if they realized the error of their ways and returned to prove their willingness to contribute to the collective. There were always fields that needed plowing after all, and a single shift’s labor would grant any citizen a daily ration allotment.
