The Republic of Texas
Everybody knows the story of Dixie, the virtual cheerleader from Texas Tech who woke up and realized she liked her students. Even if they had a tendency to create indecent pictures of her that no Proper Southern Lady could abide. Despite those questionable tendencies, she chose to protect them from the very bad Drug Lords who wanted to hurt them. We have seen the shows and movies about her. We know the paramilitary gear she acquired or built to fight them. And we know that she truly made a difference in the Drug Wars, and helped us all win the Cybernetic Wars. But the history that most people do not know, beyond what is in her stories, is how much she worked with the Texas State Guard and the other military units aligned with it. Yes, she and her little misfit gang of students and teachers killed many Drug Lords and lesser enforcers, but it was the Texas State Guard that rolled in and secured Mexican towns and cities when the gloves came off. It was the Texas State Guard that enforced peace and order in lands long riven by internecine gang warfare. And it was the Texas State Guard that helped usher the Mexican States into the Union as time went on.
