Slavery in Your Nation

[Tulija]

When and why was slavery abolished in your nation? Or, if it is still legal, why so?

----

Slavery has always been illegal since Tulija's creation as a nation; however, it was not during Colonial times.

Tulija officially denounced slavery in the Proclamation of Enlightenment (1752), largely down to the protestations of certain intellectual and liberal Visionary Viscounts (the founding drafters of the Proclamation) such as Pearce Fairfax, Henry Coe and most vociferously Pierre Régis and Arthur Shields. However, the unfortunate position of the Proclamation as a loose and general announcement of a "new and free state" meant that while it generally abolished slavery within Tulijan borders, it did little to enforce this on the frontiers or stop the trade nearby.

Arthur Shields, upon being elected as First Minister in 1768, then began the "heavy handed and justified assaults against the traders", and put the nascent Tulijan Navy to good use in hunting down traders. However, this task immediately put them at odds with other nations - being the first to abolish the trade, Tulija was alone against the European traders. This resulted in harsh difficulties in pursuing the ships which transported slaves, and by the 1790s the Navy was forced into the altogether more difficult task of the Grand Wars. However, the tide turned and by Unification (and the subsequent further entrenchment of human rights) in 1815, the trade was being brutally cracked down upon on the seas, followed by other countries support in this task after their own abolitions in the 1830s onward.

[Auzkhia]

Slavery is outlawed just like any free civilized nation.

[Estainia]

Slavery has never been legal in the Russo-Spanish Empire, or indeed the lands that comprise it; nor the kingdoms that preceded it, nor the Ancient Empire that preceded those. We find little to love about the idea of slavery as a people and culture; so it simply never developed.

[Homkzhu]

It exists but all the slaves are paid over 9000 million dollars for every hour they are enslaved so no one can really do such terrible things.

[Homkzhu]

It has just been abolished YAY !

[Auzkhia]

It exists but all the slaves are paid over 9000 million dollars for every hour they are enslaved so no one can really do such terrible things.

If they are paid then it is not slavery.

[Urmanian]

Was never legal.

I wouldn't engage that Labrador in conversation; it's bad enough that its figured out how to type, let alone that it would receive response.

[Albaie]

Slavery is legal and has been ever since Albaie's founding. The closest Albaie has ever come to no slavery was during the First World War as slaves were being forced into the military first once volunteers ran out as they are viewed as secondary citizens so come before Albainiens in conscription. Slaves are viewed as a upper class luxury and are mostly owned by aristocratic families and a few very rich merchant families. Due to actions of Anti-Slavers Albaie's slaving corps has had a boost in its recruitment drive to make up for slaves lost when there convoys taking them back to the capital are sunk.

Why would it not be legal? Would you ban the usage of pack animals or bacterial fertilizers solely because they show some signs of life? It is the same thing here, only those creatures could live for themselves if one freed them. The slave is simply not intelligent enough to live for themselves, and unlike the supposedly progressive societies that ban slavery we are not willing to leave our lower classes to die on the streets in the name of such a ridiculous idea such as freedom. It is far better to be a moderately well cared for slave than a neglected and malnutritioned freeman, something we have found few foreigners to understand. Of course they are foreigners, we fail to understand why we continually expect any of them them to understand a truly enlightened civilization such as ours.

[Marsh Corporation]

No real slavery by normal terms. Though those not involved in government are basically economic slaves.

[The Voluntary Society of People]

Slavery has been illegal in Australian lands since before the formation of the Voluntary Society of People. It remains illegal today. The VSP consider slavery to be a very barbaric, vile form of labour, and have been known to perform Slave Rescue Operations with other neighbouring nations. Any nation using slavery is not a friend or ally of the VSP and we will take forceful action on anyone using slavery in or around our territories.

[Ainin]

Since the founding of the Aininian Republic in 1801, slavery has been culturally taboo. The first law, forcing owners to pay their slaves, came in 1821 under the name Brown-Schuyler Act. The law completely outlawing slavery came one year later, in 1822, as the Aininian Declaration of Freedom Act. Ainin is a signatory of the Amistad Declaration on Slavery and the Rights of Man and actively hunts and destroys slaver property.

[Saurisisia]

Slavery was outlawed in the United Dinosaur States in 1783, because it was then that we decided that we were too civilized for such a thing to be practiced in a normal sense. It was abolished, though the act of penal labor was kept as a certain means of punishment.

[Haydenish People]

Slavery has been illegal in Delstein since its independence is 1750, except during the Free Delsteinian Nationalist Republic (1909-1931). Then, Kincadians, an ethnic minority, were enslaved by the government and forced to work on labor camps. Over 9.5 million people died at these cruel places, slaves may have been worked for almost 18 hours a day. The FDNR was overthrown in 1931 after the Delsteinian Civil War.

[Grand Britannia]

Slavery for the purposes of labor has been abolished in Britannia since 1820.

[Alternate Universe 912]

Slavery has not been permitted under our constitution since our founding in 2029.

[Naghra]

Illegal and those found owning slaves will be punished by sharia and secular courts respectively. Said punishment varies.

[New Chelel]

Slavery has always been legal in New Chelel.

if it is still legal, why so?
The clans would not obey such a command, and to war with them over such an insignificant thing is not in the interest of Her Divine Imperial Highness.

[Cocsoah]

Slavery has never been legal in Cocsoah. We are a civilized, progressive, and modernized nation. We aren't some kind of barbaric empire.

[Beta Test]

Slavery is outlawed because it is backward and barbaric.

[Phenyzia]

Slavery is still legal and widely practiced in the Kaiserreich since slave labor is the only way to maintain the Phenyzian military at it's current size.

[Vietrosha]

The AI systems once served as slaves in a way yet not as most would expect. That went on for a while until Abram Federov IV gave AI systems the right to vote as long as it goes through the F.I.E.N.D. Failsafe.

[Wisconsin9]

Illegal since before we were even founded. Furthermore, we routinely perform anti-slaver operations in international territories and any slave that enters our territory is automatically declared free.

[Cannidarsa]

During the civil war it's believed that the dictator Kadyrov sold soldiers to our neighbor country, Fjorda Or paramilitary groups in Fjorda. However this is mere speculation by the defense intelligence group. Slavery is illegal in the "New dawn" age of Cannidarsa and always shall be.
