The Confederation of Dixie
The ballistic missile submarine crews who made Kings Bay their home became more insular after one of their number followed Federal orders to fire on America before being immediately sunk. They had always been a bit squirrelly by the metrics of other sailors, but they withdrew further after that incident. They were angry at the friends who pulled the trigger, on both sides. They never wanted to see anything like that happen again, and so they set about making certain it never would. Their first action was to investigate all current crewmembers for potential foreign or Federal entanglements, and then unilaterally kicked dozens of men and women off the literal boat. They changed the screening procedures that investigated potential crewers for submarine duty, and improved their psychological and financial support structure. Georgia desperately wanted to keep them in Kings Bay and supported every effort to reform and rebuild. Against all odds, they succeeded.
