Would your Nation support slaves?

[Cameroi]

if they are sapient they are automatically free and equal citizens. if they aren't then they are just creatures.
either way, they are perfectly welcome to cross our borders as the see fit, and join our community, of which they automatically are should they choose to stay.

at any rate, slavery in completely pointless and needless in cameroi even if it were consciounable.
people here do what they do for the enjoyment of doing it, for what it does for the world they live in, in the case of infrastructure, or the admiration it gains them in creating things of beauty.
anything else that is needed or wanted is done by machines.
we do in some communities, have slavery of a sort, as a punishment for crime.
but they are still not owned by individual persons or economic interests.

[Sarxland]

This actually happened in my nation, now these creatures are free to do whatever they want and are treated socially and in the laws of whichever province they are in equally to Sarxlanders in every aspect.

[Wazkyraque]

No, but the government does buy slaves; but only to free them from slavery.

[TurtleShroom]

The institution of slavery is prohibted under the Constitution of the Holy Republic of TurtleShroom. Period.

[Traillopia]

We oppose any and all forms of slavery. If we intercepted a slave caravan (or ship) we would raid it and give the to-be slaves a choice:
1. Return to their place of origin (should it still exist)
2. Become Galonican citizens
3. Be sent on their way

[Astesia]

Astesia is sternly agaisnt the institution of slavery, as it is a blatant violation of human rights

[Garitania]

Treat others as you would have them treat you. Would you like to be a slave? I doubt it.

[NFA Rulz]

We believe that Every sentient biological life form deserves to earn, or NOT earn their way through life. If they so wish to enjoy the fruits of their labors more power to them.

A Communist State would make slaves upon them in no time flat: They work for the State - their owner - and never themselves.

[Hengaria]

Strange creatures? Let em in, let em join as citizens, if they shoot then shoot back.

Slavery is something the Church of Hengaria considers to be wrong. Deeply and utterly wrong. This means that slavery is illegal(having the Church be the second branch of government can cause that). Of course indentured servitude is allowed to a limited extent. If a citizen is struggling to survive then they may agree to a contract with someone who has money to support an extra person. The law dictates that for fair treatment, food, and lodging the servant will have to work for the provider for the duration of one(1) year. After which the contract can be renagotiated or abandoned.

Illegal slavery is a problem however. The government is attempting to deal with it as best they can while still trying to piece a nation back together. The unoffical(yet effective) stratagy is if police or the military come across a slaver the master is either shot on the spot or tortured for their crimes(tend to depend on who found them). Any liberated slaves are (offically) given the choice between citizenship or leaving the country, however once again if the particular soldier, squad, etc. who found them is evil enough and thinks they can get away with it they may just force the liberated slaves back into work for the benefit of the army. Soldiers found doing this are generally shot, though depending on who finds them they may be tourtured or.......

Yeah we have a long way to go on the accountablility of the army.

[The Rich Port]

NOPE.AVI

Ask Des-Bal. We got two million of their slaves out of their shitty country.

[Grandais]

Slavery has been illegal since the Anti-Slavery Act of 1889, some years after the abolition of serfdom.

[Flaming Soul Forces]

No, we are against slavery; we find it oppressive and barbaric

[Iglesian Archipelago]

Slavery is illegal under the Iglesian Constitution.

[The United Colonies of Earth]

We only enslave nonhumans.

[The Children of Mama]

Let's say ( THIS IS AN EXAMPLE. ) Some strange creatures, who are very hard-working come into your nation, would you make them slaves. What would you do then?

Why would we make pets of xenos?

[Mama adds: I doubt seriously that any labor produced by xenos would be more efficient than the bots my Children build.]

[Unilisia]

Indentured servitude isn't illegal but is uncommon. Having recently emancipated a rather stout human populace from government control Unilisia is in the midst of a brew societal revolution, and human sympathy has driven the higher castes of the state to forcibly ending slavery in other nations.

[Free Irish Lands]

Slavery is outlawed

[Radiatia]

The laws regarding non-human creatures in Radiatia are vague.

Some laws appear to suggest that they are to be considered illegal immigrants, invaders even and should be shot on sight (including and especially ponies.)

However a hardworking non-human creature might be enslaved, or possibly even integrated into society. There are (officially unconfirmed reports) that non-human creatures MAY have been involved in, and retired from military service.

Sorry this answer may have gone off track a bit.

[Dystara]

Although the country already uses slavery - it's unwritten, but yes - if a new group entered Dystara the Government would be more likely to study and get the measure of them before attempting to enslave them, if at all.

[Zersium]

Zersium employs 41,594 current slaves that work in the current Honor Guard, which is the same as the TA.

What happens if those slaves suddenly decide to become free?

Who said I armed them?

they work as mechanics, medics. Plus, Zersium enjoys a brain-control device that allows our citizens to remember how happy they are.

[Abturbia]

While slavery definitely exists in Abturbia, a tradition of old times that was imported to the nation by the elves who brought their beastling servants with them, active enslavement of free individuals does not occur in Abturbia. Instead, indentured servitude, either lifelong or temporary, is a possible punishment in nearly all provinces for some crimes.

Most of the servants in Abturbia are either descendants of these criminals or of the first-generation servants from the elven nations where different laws apply in regards to servitude.

[Urmanian]

Slavery is completely illegal in the Herd. Any sapient creature is entitled to freedom.

The institution of slavery is prohibted under the Constitution of the Holy Republic of TurtleShroom. Period.

Yet you have instituted it recently. Interesting.

[Dakini Femina]

The 2nd Reich of the Commonwealth of Dakini Femina
National Socialists, Proud & Free!

The Commonwealth finds a lot of conflicting issues with regards to slavery. We feel that the task of building our nation is our responsibility, and such instills nationalism and patriotism among our proud ranks. Having been enslaved ourselves in the past, we feel that we would be repeating the very mistakes of the old Dakini we have gone a long way from. To be a slave is degrading and causes one to lose his identity, which is the exact opposite of what we seek of a dignified and civil human being.

There are other issues as well:

a. Every position given to a slave would be a potential job post for one of our own, where he/she would be paid according to their labor, and pay tax to the government as well as support a family.

b. Slaves are an extra expense when considered in the long run - One has to provide quarters and similar facilities. And we feel that we would be soiling our name and insulting our own ability to progress as a nation if we let other hands build the Reich.

c. We don't purchase slaves. When dealing with prisoners of war, either we return them to their respective nations in exchange for ransom, or we assimilate them into our own population after a heavy re-education program and are then disseminated into various blue-collar posts, where they receive minimum wage. That is still better than being enslaved or being left to die.

[Illinoia]

Yet you have instituted it recently. Interesting.

In what form?

[Urmanian]

Yet you have instituted it recently. Interesting.

In what form?

By removing rights of a whole sapient species and making them synonymous to domesticated cattle and property to be made into food.
