In Dock Junction rumors had hit them about the decision of the Mobile Government to be annexed into the New American Republic and more importantly that the New American Government has kept their promise to Mobile. This had a big impact in Dock Junction witch had a ruler over the people their know only as the Benefactor a prewar Ghoul who had through various means had gotten many human servants forced to work the old machines producing highly sophisticated turrets and other defenses like land mines there the only reason this was only tolerated by the surrounding Human Settlements due to security defenses provided by the Benefactor to the other settlements in exchange of one human a year to be sent for the Benefactor's forced maintenance work. The New American Republic had seeing the clear cut oppression and more importunately the powder keg that will happen if that one Ghoul died to the rest of the immediate region. Orders were made to send spies disguised as servants to start an armed uprising and given a large supply of weaponry. While this had caused them to be in situations that almost caused them to be caught Republican spies had infiltrated their way into Dock Junction with their supplies and armed the Human servants leading a successful if costly uprising and most notably the Ghoul was dead and the oppressed were free however the towns in the region were now defenseless. The New American Republic offered to annex the settlements and provide a ghoul technician to maintain the security systems and that the former servants would be freed and paid for their continue work. The settlements accepted this offer and so did workers who were recently freed. As for their replacement tech leader the Republic had thought back to long ago and remembered about the Ghoul prisoners it had. So while a Ghoul technician was sent to do the work done by the clearly dead Benefactor had been in fact a rather skilled with electronics h was in fact raider ghoul prisoner on the condition that he will be put on probation and allowed rehabilitation so long as he works for the republic but he will have guarded humans near him at all times. Which given the Republic's track record with raiders was a generous offer that was taken without much else changing in the Dock Junction region. The Republic had also after this agreement had sent in a proper territory known as the Dixie Territory as there are plans on integrating into a Commonwealth once a more centralized local goverment is formed.
Following this annexation the New American Republic gained 1600 people.

Climb Aboard the Republican Wagon Part 3: Nationalism Third
Following the New American Republic's annexation of Dock Junction and the creation of the Dixie territory many more in the more southern an conservative area of Southern Georgia specifically in the City State of Savannah that the idea of a united south Georgian region would be a strong defense unfortunately their were many disagreements on this some called for attempting an invasion of the New American Republic to claim Dock Junction as their own and to form a Dixon Republic, however, others saw the idea of perhaps Dixie becoming a Commonwealth within the New American Republic to be a grander nationalist cause as while the New American Republic has in its name America and thus a claim to America it appears to be a more southern populist movement based out of its policies. Leading to arguments from within the City State that Savannah has a claim to Dock Junction and to be the start of Dixie but the Republic has a theoretical claim to the south as a whole and the best way to unite the Dixie is under the New America Republic but with their Dixon claim recognized within the Republic. Thus, this consent dispute has almost led to a small Civil War however, when it became evident that was going to happen the New American Republic sent a diplomat to the city stating the New American Republic would be willing to make Savannah the capital of a Dixon Commonwealth and to elevate Dixie to a Commonwealth. However, the diplomat also stated that if this offer is refused another city would get the honor of being the capital and more Savannah impotently lose out on taxable income from its administration and would be conquered by the New American army rather then be given this offer. This made it very clear that the City State had to choice less freedom now and more money or even less freedom and death. They had opted for the former as a good amount of the City State's populace would see the New American Republic as liberators regardless. However, at home this was criticized as to much strong arming of the city state and the New American republic should have let the civil war play out while disagree saying the New American Republic did the right thing in preventing bloodshed. Regardless though both sides do believe that the New American Republic had a duty to intervene just disagreed on when.
Following this annexation the New American Republic gained 2000 people.
