All forms of unwilling bondage (including imprisonment), are illegal in the United States and throughout it's space. Any found to be practicing such heinous crimes are summarily executed. We do not suffer the slaver to live.

Minoa does not allow any kind of slavery: human trafficking remains a serious problem because of the gangs using Minoa's economic and social success as a bait to lure potential victims. This has been a problem since even before Minoa was formed, due to us being in the European Economic Area all along.

Since 1891 slavery has been illegal in Caribica although the recently overthrown Federation of Caribica forced political opponents, tribal peoples and dissidents into labor camps where they were treated no better than slaves although the second republic has put an end to this cruel practice.

Slavery is completely legal in Hyper-America. However, under Hyper-American law, only those of African descent or those with IQ's below 80 can be enslaved. There are no legal protections for slaves and their owner's can do what they wish with them, as the law considers them property, not people. However, it is permitted to free your slaves, but this is uncommon.

Indentured servitude, however, is illegal in Hyper-America.

Slavery is federally illegal. It has be banned in all Crezilivion territories for any reasons and there a very severe fines/punishments for violating "Human Rights" issues such as this.

Indentured servitude is federally legal and is pretty much exactly like the first nation that stated something about this. Indentured servitude is legal in almost all territories.

There is also something similar to indentured servitude where people who commit severe enough crimes are sold to companies to work for them. Corporal punishment upon these prisoners is regulated by the government, it's basically like indentured servitude except they don't keep any money, and owning slaves (ironically) is a bad enough crime that it would most likely put you in a place like this.

Slavery and indentured servitude were hallmarks of the medieval era, with the strong pony heirarchy providing for the serfdom of earth ponies into the 1600s and 1700s. Drakon similarly enslaved human populations and put them into serfdom. Humans also put other humans into serfdom. However, after the religious wars of the 1700s destroyed the country and wiped out much of the nobility, a renewed interest in the fine arts began putting an end to the practice, and it was formally banned in 1883 following the Convention of Reko and the unification of Otulia.

Currently, Article I of the Constitution prohibits involuntary servitude, except as punishment for crimes. Forced labor is considered the duty of a convict, and the country's small prison population largely works on infrastructure projects.

In 1958, following a new Constitution that gave significant autonomy to the provinces, Sayban provincial courts began bonding wyverns to human masters, under the justification as punishment for loitering, for up to 10 years, as well as for other such trivial offenses. This practice continues today, despite efforts to end the mistreatment of wyverns.

Slavery has never been legal in Lucernae. If anyone was found to "own" slaves, they would be severly punished and the slaves would be set free.

Indentured Servitude is NOT a legal to pay off a debt. However, criminals who are committed anywhere from 5yrs-life are required to work for a participating private corporation or on government projects, but many prisoners sentenced for less than five years decide to work anyway. Prisoners may be awarded some monetary compensation, but more often are given foods, cosmetics, special athletic equiptment, or other items not normally found in prisons. All prisoners can forgo the product reward system/ monetary compensation for themselves and instead send money to their families.

This is as close as Lucernae gets to indentured servitude of any kind.

Slavery was abolished in Omsarim from the founding of the Kingdom of Omsarim in 974 CE. In 1801 CE upon the Revolution and founding of the Second Republic, it was made illegal for any citizen of Omsarim to participate in the international slave trade or for slavery to exist in any future overseas territory of Omsarim.
Also in 1801, serfdom was outlawed in Omsarim. Indentured servitude was abolished in 1851, although by then it was almost nonexistent.

While slavery was outlawed in the 18th century, indentured servitude is widely practiced for debtors work for their creditors to pay off the huge debts they had compiled. And the Saurian government has little interest in slavery abroad as we feel to be not of the Republic's concern.

Slavery is completely illegal and those enslaving humans, anthros, aliens will be punished to the full extent of the law. Slavery was abolished since the 1900s.

All victims released from slavery in the Portuguese Federation will be returned home, if not, a home will be provided to them untill the government from the nation of origin takes them. If all else fails, they will be granted full citizenship and a job in the military.

Our leader is married to a former slave girl, who he released from a slave house that was later raided by police.

None of the tribes who populated SJT nor any of the ruling eras practiced slavery; it was formally banned in 1098, making SJT one of the first European civilizations to do so. Even when competing with other European powers for colonies in Asia and Africa, the leaders still vowed not to import any slaves from those areas.

Through the period of Spanish claims to our land it could be say de jurely that slavery was legal; however, no law ever existed by the de facto administration of the land. By the time the English enforced their claim they had already abolished slavery. Penal servitude to the community is used as punishment for minor crimes here.

One of the few laws the Trade Order enforces across it's members worlds. No man shall be the property of another, the very idea is seen as immoral and counter-intuitive to Trader ideals of peace and prosperity.

While 'human trafficking' continues in the underground, the Trade Order does it's damndest to root it out whenever and wherever possible.

A special form of slavery is legal and practiced in Bayonetta. When a male gets married to a female, he is automatically considered her property and stripped of almost all of the (relatively few) rights he would have had as a free male. However, since one can only be married to one person at a time, a woman can only own one slave. (And if she leaves divorces her slave, he is automatically free) In addition, there is a prohibition on tricking someone into slavery and all men getting married must fully understand that, upon marriage, they will no longer be considered a citizen of Bayonetta, but property of their wife.

Indentured servitude, on the other hand, is entirely outlawed in Bayonetta.
The Queendom of Bayonetta is a virtual absolute monarchy ruled by Bayonetta where females rule and men are considered inferior and systematically oppressed. Our population is capped at 117 million.

Our economy and society are completely dependent on slavery. Citizens aren't expected to work - rather they are expected to fight, make art, make music, write poetry, discuss philosophy, serve our Lord in the Temple, take part in politics, practice law, and so on. Freemen may work as skilled labourers, as merchants, as fine craftsmen or master builders, but there aren't enough of them to produce the food required to feed us all, or the clothes required to clothe us all. Without the slaves there would be no food, no clothing, no shelter; no public works, no grand monuments, no roads nor bridges; citizens would live as the barbarians to the north, forced to work all the hours of the day and unable to turn their minds towards the higher things which benefit us all.

Slavery is a virtue and a sign of a prosperous society. Around 60% of our population (an unusually high number for our world) are slaves, all of whom are owned by the state. We actively engage in the slave trade, as well as in breeding programs for our slaves. Our greatest source of outside slaves comes from the barbarians at our borders, who we raid regularly; these slaves are sold on the market, as they can't be trusted to not run away and head for the border when they are so close to home.

The practise of hereditary slavery is seen as a high and unforgivable sin by both the clergy of the Old Faith and the Cult of the Iz and is therefore illegal and barbarian nations who practise it namely the Túrkai Imperium, The Cymëain Kingdom and Hætos are looked down upon by both the government and the public however servitude is incurred as a punishment to prisoners and certain captives taken in battle but this is not hereditary namely these captives are used as labourers in quarries, lumber mills and other industrial plants.
Serfdom was present in the Old Woodsman Empire but has since been irradiated however those who do not hold any political power are still referred to as serfs even if they are not owned by any means.

Slavery has been legal before the early 1800s but has never been practiced as there were no needs for it. There was however indentured servitude for child immigrants until 1799 when they were freed and it was criminalized.

De-facto, you won't find plantations filled with negroes in our nation; for the outside observer, there is no sign of slavery.

De-jure, slavery is legal in the form of chattel slavery - the same laws of ownership apply to all mammals including the homo family, other than citizens (they don't have to be human, though all currently are, only have to pass a test of intelligence). Only non-citizens can be owned. Citizenship can be lost by renouncing it voluntarily, committing a crime, violating a contract, defaulting on debt, or failing to pass the annual Citizen Test.

Indentured servitude is most widespread in our military (or, rather, our numerous PMC): since our laws do not recognize any special kind of employment that one can't quit at any moment, our PMC instead purchase their enlisted ranks on indentured servitude contracts, which temporarily allow for such an arrangement.
Those who don't remember history, are blessed to believe anything is possible when they're repeating it.

It is not allowed and never has been, it was practiced hundreds of years ago in the nation we gained independence from, many people who lived in what is now Appalachia were opposed to it.

We do make heavy use of prison labor for things like road maintenance, clean-up, and basic manufacturing.
