abolition of slavery conference | mt rp proposal

[Munkcestrian Republic]

Munkchester has slaves. Some people don't like that.

But Munkchester has, in the past, stated that the abolition of slavery and an end to the slave trade is a possibility. Of course, everyone interfering would have to reimburse slave owners and traders not only for the cost of their slaves but also for the inconvenience and pay for all the (potential) (future) lost profits. So, that would cost a lot of money (a lot) and for some reason quite a few people don't want to pay up.

But maybe partial emancipation of some slaves can be agreed upon for a slightly less extreme price? Or, if enough nations offer to pay together, slavery and the slave trade could be abolished outright? So there could be a conference where all this could be sorted out. Of course, another nation would have to host the whole thing because hosting conferences costs money and Munkchester isn't going to pay for all that.

Not that slavery will actually be abolished as the result of the conference. The idea would be that the conference sort of gets interrupted around the third day (or something) by a terrorist attack aimed at the Munkcestrian delegation. Maybe the host nation is accused of involvement or implicated in the attack. Or maybe a nation attending the conference. Or maybe a nation that isn't attending the conference. Maybe you. think of the possibilities! think of the drama! think of the opportunity for a cool INTERNATIONAL event with SLAVERY and TERRORISM.

So, if you're interested, please voice your interest (!) and maybe add your thoughts?

[Imperium Texanum]

I'd certainly be open to the idea. Texas has had a long history of slavery, and Imperator Greg Augustus Abbott XIX would be amenable to discussion regarding the matter.

[Nouveau Quebecois]

New-Quebec offers to host the conference as a neutral party with no official stance on slavery.

Well, this is an OOC thread. Let's see if anyone else is interested before any decisions are made - and, well, your nation has expressed its support for slavery in the past, so not really?

When have we? We've only supported Munkcestrian sovereignty to choose to engage in slavery. Additionally, we've only been observers in your alliance.

[The Great Imperator Jeffrey]

Hello silly primitives. No, I will not emancipate any of my slaves. Goodbye now.

[The Ether Corporation]

The Ether Corporation would like to join the conference on the opposing side, Pro-Slavery. During the ‘supposed’ conferenced we’d just be throwing examples of how slavery benefits its host country.

Still, not exactly neutral.

This isn't about emancipating any of your slaves.

This would be a modern-tech roleplay.

[The Ether Corporation]

I could easily role play as the Ether Corporation before they decided to travel to the stars. That way I’ll still fit in the Modern Tech category. It’ll be like a mega corporation showing up at the conference with technology before they left for Mars. If that’s alright?

I mean, I don't really know why a pro-slavery nation would be attending, but sure.

[The Ether Corporation]

Easy, To convince other nations to stop the abolition of slavery from happening. Other slave nations will be affected by the loss of a potential trade partner in that category.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF THE PALMYRIAN GOVERNMENT
Opisyal na Pahayag ng Pamahalaan ng Palmyria

The Palmyrian government has last declared a state of war between Munkcester and Palmyrion on September 2019 as a last warning to the Munkcestrian nation. Our statement is simple: abolish slavery, or face open warfare.

I hope you do consider the abolition of chattel slavery and cease and desist state sponsorship of such a vile crime as both a grave violation of human rights and as an unsustainable economic policy in the long run.

Sincerely yours,

Lakambini Elizabeth the Commoner
Sovereign Monarch and Head of State

[South Acren]

This has me interested, seeing the fact my nation is open about using slaves. Maybe this could help the reformation of SA so i shall continue to keep an eye on this. An abolition to slavery seems like a good idea but until more evidence comes through my stance remains.

[Greater vakolicci haven]

Velstrania would be happy to host the conference. According to the prophet Nierra, slavery is a violation of the right of the will, and so Velstrania would be more than happy to help you abolish it.

[Duhon]

The kami will certainly look into sending representatives who will encourage the Munkcestrians (or whatever the denonym is for the OP) not only to abolish slavery and free all slaves from their owners, but to ensure equal rights (and access to those rights) to all ex-slaves and their progeny.

(But host it? Oh nooooooooo --)

[Tornado Queendom]

If you want to abolish slavery, then you might as well give them all to us. Besides, they can be great for our plan for becoming a universal economic powerhouse.

[Empathicfroever]

good idea

[Empire of Ur]

The Empire of Ur has already banned slavery and the slave trade and would not be willing to force outher nations to abolish slavery outright. But We are willing to help rid the worst parts of slavery from the world. Rascist, imperialist and abusive slavery included.
