This edition covers the real Georgia outside Atlanta, which already has its own dedicated coverage. Augusta, in Richmond County, carries a real medical-research and biotech base around the Medical College of Georgia, alongside the U.S. Army Cyber Command at Fort Eisenhower. Athens, in Clarke County, is home to the University of Georgia. Macon (Bibb County) and Albany (Dougherty County) anchor Middle and Southwest Georgia's logistics and agricultural-processing economy. Statesboro, home to Georgia Southern, anchors the state's coastal plain. None of these are Atlanta, and this edition doesn't treat them as smaller versions of it.
