Does your nation allow slavery?

Postby Populi-Terrae » Sun Jan 22, 2017 9:57 pm

It is a simple question. Does your nation allow slavery?

Slavery is outlawed in Populi-Terrae. However, criminals serving a life sentence are liable to become indentured servants for overseas clients.
We are a free and democratic nation. Right now, we're MT. But we're getting close to becoming PMT.

No, however, criminals who commit violent crimes that don't warrant the death penalty are libel to receive hard labor for years until they die.
The Illustrious Dictatorship of Athainia, ruled by both President and First Lady Bramwell is an Orwellian state yet a Socialist Utopia, situated somewhere in the West. Its an extremely cultured and scientific nation with a pop. of 64 million, the capital is Arcadia.

It is not allowed in any official capacity. However, I'll quote one of my previous posts:
Zekestan has mandatory working hours from 0800-2000. Citizens must report to their assigned jobs by 0445 and they may not sleep, consume alcohol, indulge in personal entertainment, or speak to others about non-work related topics until they are dismissed at 2000 and allowed to return home. The only days this does not apply are assigned rest days and government approved holidays. Citizens who fail to comply with any of these rules are removed from work for one week while they undergo reconditioning treatment.


Sooo, make of that what you will. ;)

Slavery is outlawed by the constitution. However slavery has been banned since 1818 and indentured servitude was banned in 1831.

If any slave or indentured servant enters Thermodolian territory they are automatically freed.

Involuntary servitude is absolutely prohibited for law-abiding subjects in the Empire. Labour can be assigned as a punitive sanction for certain criminal acts, but the practice is highly regulated and supervised to ensure worker safety.

Slavery is illegal in Valgora.

However, the government does think that if another nation allows it, selling to them is a good way to get rid of undesirables (fascist, Nazis, criminals, counter-revolutionaries).

Also, Valgora did recently rent criminals from the Democratic States of Populi-Terrae as indentured servents to build/repair sewer systems.

The Empire has never 'allowed' slavery, it has never been considered to be acceptable, this idea that Man can be 'owned'. We are not omnicidal maniacs like a certain anti-slavery alliance, but we do much to curtail slavers and their endeavors wherever possible.

Slavery is defined as the ownership of human beings by other humans and is outlawed. However, criminals may be sentenced to "servitude in the name of the Empire". This servitude may include responsibility for ensuring their repentance for their crimes falling to the highest bidder on a contract, to their imprisoners selling noblemen and military officers the privilege of using them for a period of time as sex toys, cultivating crops to feed clerics, or essentially anything else desired by the Imperial law enforcement authority which has sentenced them.
