Slavery in Your Nation

[Dariandan]

as a unique method of justice, slavery has been legalized in the past in "The Dominion of Dariandan" to keep peace and civility throught the nation. If a citizen should behave in an animalistic way (murder, rape, and violent behavior) why should he not be treated as if he were one. Instead of wasting the peoples money on senseless room and board of a criminal, have him positively contribute to the nation as a whole.

[Allmann]

Slavery is illegal in the Commonwealth and has been for the last three centuries, it was outlawed since it is immoral.

Yes, however before the mandate was set in place, this is how society was carried out, simply dicussing tradition

[The Citystate Of Ponyville]

Slavery has been illegal since our separation from Equestria. Anyone owning slaves after that point was immediately fined heavily, and their slaves freed. Although at one point, the Ponies had Human slaves, however this was very small scale.

[Star Trek America]

"No man (or woman) shall be suffered to be kept against their will (and) forced to work against their will or be involved in other acts against their will within the sovereign territory of the Republic, its communes, its dominions, overseas holdings or territories. It shall not be suffered to exist (underground) illegally; it shall be rooted out and persecuted to the fullest extent of the Republic's laws, its perpetrators held accountable and its victims lent aid to."

^ Exerpt from the Ameri Constitution I have yet to put on NS, said clause was introduced in the First Ameri Constitution of 1620 and has been kept in the evolutions since then. Before 1620 slavery was still not socially acceptable nor tolerated, though it was "legal" no one practiced such barbarism (to public knowledge) out of fear of the social repercussions.

[Syadei]

Slavery has never been legal in Syadei, In fact if you were caught trading/using people as slaves you were to be locked in a wooden box covered in oil and then flamethrower'ed until you burnt to death =)

[Basque Socialist States]

Slavery has never been widely practiced in the Basque Socialist States, and had never been institutionalized. Prior to 1794, slavery was legal in the Basque Socialist States, as in the rest of the French colonial empire. Prior to Revolutionary France's abolition laws, slavery was rarely practiced in the Basque Socialist States. In 1794, less than 200 persons in what would become the Basque Socialist States owned slaves, and the largest single slave-owner was limited to 47 persons enslaved. However, despite the new anti-slavery legislation, it took almost tow years to eliminate all instances of slavery in the region, with several instances of bloodshed.

After the 1794 legislation came into effect, all subsequent governments have stringently enforced anti-slavery laws. However, some forms of slavery - most significantly the female sex-slave traffic, have persisted to the current day, despite police efforts. After the 1961 revolution established the Basque Socialist States, another form of human bondage, the forced labor camp, has also become a small but significant sector of the Basque economy. However, these labor camps are limited to political prisoners, and are inflicted as a form of punishment and re-education. There are no forms of legal forms of permanent human bondage in the Basque Socialist States

In the Commonwealth, only prisoners of war and their families were taken as slaves and put into thralldom, it then declined in popularity due to lack of sources for the slaves and was finally de jure outlawed three centuries ago.

Also, one could say that feudal subjects were slaves, or thralls. In the Commonwealth Feudalism never caught on and most of the land belonged to free farmers.

[Sewer-Dwelling Tentacles]

We don't perceive it as slavery. We perceive it as making use of the pesky humans that keep on barging into our sewers.

Some scientist-type (he was from this place called "YellowFruit" or "YellowOrange" or something or other) seemed to explain it like so:

Xenofungus terra - like Xenofungus chiron - interfaces with its prey via remote psi connections; however, unlike Xenofungus chiron and its peripheral "mind worm" constructs, Xenofungus terra implements a direct psi interface.

Xenofungus terra's primary mechanism of achieving psi-based control appears to be identical to Xenofungus chrion; Xenofungus terra utilizes electrical fields in order to interfere with normal electrical transmissions of the central and peripheral nervous systems, inducing paralysis. Xenofungus terra then proceeds to establish physical contact with the target and attempt direct neural interface and - if successful - begins the process of transferring the target's consciousness into the xenofungal network.

However, unlike Xenofungus chiron, Xenofungus terra utilizes a much slower initial process before the initial transfer in order to perform in-depth alteration of the new consciousness prior to merging into the overall xenofungal network. This process primarily involves extensive psychological conditioning, latching directly into the nucleus accumbens and ventral tegmental area of the target via microscopic and electrically-conductive tendrils. These tendrils directly manipulate the mesolimbic pathway, transmitting various signals (believed to stimulate sensations of pleasure and reward) depending on signals received from similar tendrils connected to the frontal lobe.

The precise nature of the conditioning is currently unknown (we would need to utilize active neurological scanning in the field in addition to our current autopsy-derived understanding of the physical processes). However, the objective appears to be to eliminate psychological resistance - both conscious and unconscious - to integration with the xenofungal network. The preparation process appears to take between 20 and A0 kiloseconds, after which the transfer of consciousness initiates.

Consciousness transfer appears to involve the addition of millions of additional microscopic tendrils; each tendril targets a specific neuron and begins the process of migrating neurological functionality from the target's existing central nervous system to the xenofungal network. Upon completion of transfer (usually within 20-40 kiloseconds), the central nervous system is mostly inactive, and Xenofungus terra thus begins replacing the complete central nervous system with a "puppet" system directly controllable by the xenofungal network and the various consciousnesses residing within. The remaining body is thus, by the end of the process, directly controllable via this replacement central nervous system, and is used for various purposes, including nutrient harvesting, breeding as livestock, and performing tasks not natively possible for Xenofungus terra.

In the event that consciousness transfer is unsuccessful (due to a lack of ability to interface or lack of ability to pre-condition the existing consciousness), the transfer is skipped, and the construction of the replacement central nervous system commences without regard for the existing mind. This results in a "dual-mind" period until the xenofungal network establishes full control; even after full control is established, the prey appears to remain fully conscious for several dozen kiloseconds.

[The Tavan Race]

Ownership of other organisms is an established practice, and not one we see a good reason to outlaw. Despite what a few deluded civilizations would like to believe, there is no inherent difference between slavery and domestication, and we consider it the epitome of hypocrisy to outlaw one and not the other.

[Demacom]

Slavery, including Wage Slavery, has been entirely removed ever since the Glorious Revolution.

[Communist Wollongong]

All kinds of slavery are banned and slavers are jailed.

[Atsurion]

Indentured servants are the closest thing Atsurion has to slaves, as slavery is illegal. However they are treated pretty well and most of them eventually pay off their debts and get better lives. Sometimes their work is overly-exhausting, but not entirely unreasonable. There are very few cases of violence or breaching of human rights against indentured servants as well.

[Jentoan]

Slavery has always been illegal in Jentoan.

[The Koniggratzer]

Slavery is illegal, as we respect sapient rights.

[Hircus]

Slavery is illegal. In fact we go the other way in our need to aid those that are enslaved or persecuted.

[Nital Empire]

It's legal, and not unusual for Nitalians to have barbarian slaves from other countries. It's much less common for Nitalians to become slaves, but it sometimes happens.

[Xoroa]

Slavery has never been legal in Xoroa, even when the nation was named 'Atlantis', and before that when it was 'Remu'.

[Marelin]

Slavery is legal, but it is to be only used in extreme cases. As Marelin does not have a death penalty, Slavery is a severe form of punishment for criminals and they will serve the state for however many years the courts decide.

[National Socialist Republic of Canada]

yes, but only the untermenschen

[Songhia]

Slavery was outlawed in Songhia in 1889.

[Lamassu]

From Lamassu's unification in 456 BCE, slavery was legal and consisted of the former inhabitants of the City-State of Tushpa. For thousands of years these mostly African-descended slaves worked without revolt until the year 1036.

In 1036 the Ziggurat of the Sun in the City-State of Ur was razed and the city itself was sacked by an outside force numbering well into the tens of thousands, an army so large that in order to repel it the 15 other City-States unilaterally abolished slavery and created an entire army of former slaves (23,000 in all) to fight the foreign invader.

The war continued until 1066, by that time, the enemy force had completely leveled the City-States of Ur, Eridu and Sippar, former giants within the confines of the Great Zab Desert.

Late in the year, however, the army of former slaves dealt the enemy a death blow on what used to be the ancient city of Tushpa, the freed slave's ancestral home and the invading force fled in shame, half the number it was in 1036.

Returning as heroes, their freedom was upheld and the former slaves were granted their ancient home of Tushpa and rebuilt their great city, only to lose it again in 1732 during a border conflict with the city of Alamuhh.

[Saint Gilbert]

Slavery in mainland Saint Gilbert has been illegal since 1710, and has been illegal in our overseas territories since 1727, when the then Prince-Bishop Miles Newsome compelled the Hon. Gilbertine Overseas Company to suppress it. Practically speaking, the Company simply set up a quasi-legal alternative in it's territories, based around low pay and unfair contracts until that was in turn abolished following a rebellion in 1811.

[Truziodis]

Slavery was never officially outlawed. It fell out of favor as other more anarchic and capitalist sections of the region began shifting to more efficient and productive free labor. Without state sanction (in several parts of the Realm, without a State at all) slavery began a slow and inevitable decline in popularity until, eventually, it disappeared.

[Neo-Assyrian Empire]

During the revolutionary wars of the 1690s, the troubles of slavery was never dealt with by the leader. It was a common argument in the taverns and inns of the time, and several people were killed in these kinds of arguments. However, by the 1750s, it became too much to just keep pushing it to the side. The government tried pass a law stating that all slaves would be freed and that slavery would be abolished. However, several thousand citizens denied the idea, and even some lords at the time disliked the idea. So, riots were held 'round the country, only to be put down by the military. The government soon passed the law in 1767. So, slavery has been illegal for the past 250 years.
