When those who owed high Life Debts to the Socialist Republic of Juneau began running for freedom elsewhere, the leaders of Juneau were enraged. They had built a better and kinder society, and those peons were trying to make it look bad by spreading stories of slavery and abuse. After Juneau had fed them and cared for them all their lives. They could not be allowed to tarnish the workers paradise, so Juneau created a new kind of service to the State. The Debt Collectors. Those who ran from Juneau were labeled as In Default and their cases turned over to the Juneau Debt Collection Service. The Debt Collectors were recruited from only the most stable households in Juneau, and their families gained access to the very best opportunities the State could provide. It was how Juneau took care of those they empowered to go anywhere in the world to find those In Default of their Life Debt and return them to Juneau for their day in court. Of course those charged with failing to pay off their Life Debt rarely won, and the normal punishment was to serve out the remainder of their Life Debt in far more secure facilities than those they had escaped before.
