Slavery in Your Nation | Updated Questionnaire

[Ivory Coasts]

Survey I - Slavery is permitted

By which law or constitutional amendment is the right to own people as slaves enshrined and protected? Slavery is uniquely classified in the Ivory Coasts as "labour under majority minimum wage income." The Constitution defines the careers under this classification as including: domestic workers, janitors and factory workers.

For how long in your nation (and / or nations you are descended from) has slavery existed as a legal process? Historically, the high population of the Ivory Coasts has granted the nation with a high amount of cheap labourers and a history of poor regulations. Slavery as a total ownership of people is, and was, frowned upon, and existed only among certain classes of people such as criminals and captured soldiers, often sentenced to death by hard manual labour.

By what legal process must a private citizen or registered company complete in order to obtain valid ownership of another human? A citizen must sign an application allowing them to work as a labourer under majority minimum wage income. The number of years under which this takes place is negotiated by the employer and employee, typically lasting 3 years. These contracts also allow employers to closely dictate employee's lives.

Does the forfeit of this process and the use of another human for forced labour constitute a crime under your nation's law? Yes; it constitutes a breach in contract.

Approximately how many slaves are owned legally within the defined boundaries of your nation? How many for each free wo/man?

Approximately how many slaves are owned illegally within the defined boundaries of your nation? How many for each free wo/man? There are approximately five illegal slaves, or humans classified as being owned by another.

What punishment (if any) is mandated for those who are involved with the business of illegal slavery? Illegal slavers are placed as criminal workers under crown corporations owned by the government, typically in oil extraction and construction.

For what tasks, jobs, and roles are slaves typically purchased for any by legal entity? Hard labour that no one else wants to do, such as janitoring or assembling objects in factories.

Are there any occupations slaves are by law prohibited to hold? Careers that aren't defined as being labour under majority minimum wage. This includes white-collar jobs and some blue-collar jobs.

What are the rights of the master over the slave? Can s/he kill the slave at a whim? Is sexual abuse or exploitation of the slave permitted etc? These rights are negotiated as contracts between the employer and employee.

In accordance to or alongside this, what rights if any do slaves possess under law? Rights provided by the Constitution supersede slavery contracts between employers and employees. This provides them with a freedom of privacy, freedom of movement, freedom of speech, etc.

Who, if anyone, is protected by law from being enslaved by any process? No

By what process can be a slave be freed? If the terms of a contract are breached by the employer, or government annuls the contract.

For what crimes, if any, can a citizen of your nation be stripped of legal rights and sold into slavery? How does this impact his or her property or family? None; the Constitution applies to all citizen, and the rights it guarantees cannot be stripped.

What sociocultural impact on values, ethics, and philosophy has the legal presence of slavery had upon your population? Hardly any. What impact do young unpaid interns have on modern society?

Do any movements exist within your nation arguing and agitating for the abolition of slavery, or its replacement with indentured servitude? How popular are they? Factions among the Liberals are pushing for the abolition of salaries under majority minimum wage.

Has slavery as a social and moral issue been the cause of internal or external conflict with separatists / rebels or foreign powers? The Ivory Coasts served as a large source of unpaid labourers and slaves for colonies in the Americas. The Ivory Coasts objected to the slavery of its people by European powers, leading to various wars.

Has your nation had a history of slave rebellions? Which ones were the most prominent?

Has your nation had a point in history where slavery was abolished, but then re-instated? How did this happen?

Are there any facts, details, or information about legal or illegal slavery in your nation not covered by this questionnaire which you wish to share?

Anywhere between a fine, prison terms, and being himself indentured or enslaved.

Policing ranks,
Military ranks,
Ownership of any land or property,
Any holding of intellectual rights


What are the rights of the master over the slave? Can s/he kill the slave at a whim? Is sexual abuse or exploitation of the slave permitted etc?

The master can punish the slave in any way that doesn't maim or kill the slave. Maiming and killing require judicial review.
The master cannot free the slave. That requires judicial review.
Sexual use and exploitation are allowed, as they are non-lethal and non-maiming punishments - or perhaps pleasures - for the slave.

In accordance to or alongside this, what rights if any do slaves possess under law?

For slaves over 16 years of age: that they must be fed well, given medical treatment where required, and not maimed or killed without judicial review.

Slaves under 16 have all the above rights, and are exempt from heavy use and heavy punishments and sexual use (of course), and their owners are required to provide a basic education to them, or provide evidence for why such eductaion could not be provided (dyslexia for instance is no excuse, as the young slave could still be taught information by repeated verbal instructions).

Slaves may not be abandoned.

Who is permitted by law to purchase a slave?

All those endowed with Kocakayan citizenship and licenced foreign traders.

How evenly are slaves distributed amongst the populace of your nation? Which class owns the most slaves etc.

The political class owns most slaves, followed by industrialists and big farmers.

What type of slaves are in the highest demand? (Scribes, gladiators, sex slaves, personal retainers etc.)

Manual labourers.

By what methods are new slaves acquired by your nation for sale to the population?

Breeding and importation.
The importation can furthermore be differentiated as a) importation from foreign traders and b) raids by Kocakayan entrepreneurs.

Are slaves drawn from any particular racial or ethnic group?

From all over the world, according to consumer demands certain races / ethnicities may be more sought after at times. Our allies however are usually exempted from raids by Kocakayan entrepreneurs, and irregular inspections guarantee that these exceptions are adhered to.

Who, if anyone, is protected by law from being enslaved by any process?

None. Indenture is an essential part of our judicial system, and an essential part of our foreign policy.

By what process can be a slave be freed?

Legal application by the owner + judicial review (in practice: a judge must sign off on it). The slave can only be freed in court.

For what crimes, if any, can a citizen of your nation be stripped of legal rights and sold into slavery? How does this impact his or her property or family?

Insolvency
(Attempted) Murder
Involuntary Manslaughter
Grand Larceny
(Attempted) Rape
Threatening Public Officials
Robbery
Terrorism
Kidnapping
Illegal Enslavement of a Free Citizen
Child Abuse
Espionage
Sedition
Repeated Abandoning of Slaves
(The above list is not complete, as judges may order indenture for shorter and longer periods, even life terms, as a punishment for aggravating circumstances.)

The family must be able to demonstrate within four weeks that they hold ownership over any property found at the residence(s) of the newly enslaved. Any property not accounted for is forfeited to the state.

Children under 21 are considered under their parents' authority, and as such are enslaved if either parent is enslaved while having full or partial authority over the child.

What sociocultural impact on values, ethics, and philosophy has the legal presence of slavery had upon your population?

Slavery is valued, and the slave welfare protection laws reflect the value we place on these labourers.
Slavery is considered a purgatory sentence, in that it cleanses the individual of whatever life he had before enslavement, awarding him (potentially) with freedom in a new freeman's life should his master and a judge agree to do so.
Philosophy in our nation always presupposes the permanence of both slavery and indentured servitude. To argue against it is seditious and traitorous.

Do any movements exist within your nation arguing and agitating for the abolition of slavery, or its replacement with indentured servitude? How popular are they?

Indentured serrvitude exists alongside slavery. There is always a lively debate about which crimes should be punished with slavery and which with indentured servitude, but the judiciary doesn't usually allow itself to be influenced by whichever opinions prevail for the moment.

To argue against slavery is seditious and traitorous. There is a small movement that seeks to limit slavery both by limiting the number of crimes for which it is imposed and by capping the import of slave labour. This movement is tolerated. There is another, even smaller, movement that argues for abolition, and we endeavour to arrest each and every member thereof, and convict them in a court of law.

Has slavery as a social and moral issue been the cause of internal or external conflict with separatists / rebels or foreign powers?

With foreign powers: yes. But then: we have allies too. There are too few abolitionists to constitute a rebel force.

Has your nation had a history of slave rebellions? Which ones were the most prominent?

1946 saw a big rebellion. It lasted until 1949, during which years many slaves escaped.

1867 saw a smaller rebellion, which was suppressed the same year.

There is an apocryphal story that from 1754 to 1783, there was a secret slave republic right in the heart of the country, where there were no masters - and many slaves fled to it. Although this republic is offcially denied, the records do mention that expeditionary forces were sent into the heart of the country in 1779, 1780, 1781, and 1783.

Has your nation had a point in history where slavery was abolished, but then re-instated? How did this happen?

From 1968 to 1989, the country officially denied the existence of slavery to the outside world, and limited its raiding / international trade. This was doen under international pressure. Now that we no longer need to bow to pressure, we are vigorously trying to revive the old ways.

Are there any facts, details, or information about legal or illegal slavery in your nation not covered by this questionnaire which you wish to share?

We firmly believe that the few instances of illegal slavery - and the concomittant abuse and wanton cruelty to and killing of innocent individuals - are what gives slavery such a bad name.

Slavery is a force for good, as it puts a monetary value on human life, prevents homelessness, prevents crimes, rehabilitates those who deserve it, serves as a deterrent for wars, regulates social mobility, and provides the national currency with a semi-permament commodity against which it can be valued.

[Mancouver]

Survey I - Slavery is permitted

By which law or constitutional amendment is the right to own people as slaves enshrined and protected?

We are bound by the Olympolis Peace Agreement (1988), which stipulates that any property rights (including human property) of the condominium nations - Karakars and Broland-Refugia - are accepted and respected in Mancouver.

By extension we are bound by the Karakars Reconstitution Act, 1979, which guarantees rights to hold human property in any territories under its control.

Furthermore we observe the Condominium Labour Law, 1989 - which extends rights to hold human property to any Mancouver citizens and enterprises licensed to do so by Karakars authorities.

Moreover, slavery is regulated by the National Draft Act, 1989, and the Broland Draft and Transit Act 1988, and the Broland Draft and Transit Act (Revised), 1992.

For how long in your nation (and / or nations you are descended from) has slavery existed as a legal process?

1988 - 33 years

By what legal process must a private citizen or registered company complete in order to obtain valid ownership of another human?

Licensing to do so by the Karakars Authorities + full payment + certificate of ownership + indissoluable mark on the body of the slave (welded collar, welded bracelet, branding, or similar)

Does the forfeit of this process and the use of another human for forced labour constitute a crime under your nation's law?

It does.

Approximately how many slaves are owned legally within the defined boundaries of your nation? How many for each free wo/man?

about 330,000 on a population of 850,000 - or 0.38 : 1

Approximately how many slaves are owned illegally within the defined boundaries of your nation? How many for each free wo/man?

This number is negigeably small - both because of the rapid transit processes and because illegal enslavement is thoroughly policed under the Broland Draft and Transit Act (Revised) 1982, in co-opertaion with the Broland Authorities.

What punishment (if any) is mandated for those who are involved with the business of illegal slavery?

Depending on their legal status: extradition, revocation of license, jail and / or given a VERY low number for the next slavery draft.

For what tasks, jobs, and roles are slaves typically purchased for any by legal entity?

Manual Labour, Household Services, Transport, Entertainment

Are there any occupations slaves are by law prohibited to hold?

Under the Condominium Labour Law 1989, slave labour is not considered an occupation any more than machines or computers have occupations. Slaves have uses - and if under the law machines / computers cannot do the job, neither can slaves.

What are the rights of the master over the slave? Can s/he kill the slave at a whim? Is sexual abuse or exploitation of the slave permitted etc?

This depends on the term of the slavery and the level of slavery. Under the Condominium Labour Law 1989, there are three degrees of slavery as well as various levels of Indentured Servitude. These can run from just over 5 years to lifelong, with or without chance of parole/ manumission.

While the use of the slave is more or less unlimited at the deepest level of slavery, including potentially dangerous/ lethal use and sexual use/exploitation, killing the slave at a whim is not permitted - and punished if cause of death is found to have been neglect, torture, or whim.

In accordance to or alongside this, what rights if any do slaves possess under law?

Indentured Servitude: no heavy physical punishment, no permanent body modifications, right to medical care and regular minimum feeding and watering, right to shelter, sometimes right to modesty. May not be used in breeding programs. May not be exported.

Level 1 slavery: No physical punishment that leaves permanent marks, no permanent body modifications, right to medical care and regular minimal feeding and watering, right to shelter. May not be exported.

Level 2 slavery: No maiming, right to medical care and regular minmal feeding and watering. May not be exported without a term-limited leasing and repatriation agreement.

Level 3 Slavery: No additional rights

Who is permitted by law to purchase a slave?

Anyone licensed by the Karakars authorities.

How evenly are slaves distributed amongst the populace of your nation? Which class owns the most slaves etc.

The Karakars authorities license mostly affluent individuals, and foreign residents.

What type of slaves are in the highest demand? (Scribes, gladiators, sex slaves, personal retainers etc.)

Household slaves, transport slaves.

By what methods are new slaves acquired by your nation for sale to the population?

1) Importation
2) The biannual national draft, wherein all men between 18 and 25 are given a number between 1 and 366, alotted by birthday or by judicial order. Then all able-bodied individuals from these numbers are drafted until the quotas for each level of slavery and servitude are filled. The quotas are set by Karakars authorities, no less than 2000 in all and no more than 5000 in all. While being drafted into some level of servitude are higher for the lowest numbers, the highest numbers in the draft have a slightly higher chance of ending up in level 3 slavery.

Are slaves drawn from any particular racial or ethnic group?

Importation: Broland citizens
Draft: Mancouver citizens

Who, if anyone, is protected by law from being enslaved by any process?

Importation: anyone who is not from Broland states.
Draft: anyone under 18, or 26 and over.

By what process can be a slave be freed?

Time limits on the term of slavery.
Exceptions (shortening or extending of the terms) are handled in court, at the application of the owners or by mandatory judicial review. Violation of slavery level limitations are an automatic apllication for judicial review.

For what crimes, if any, can a citizen of your nation be stripped of legal rights and sold into slavery? How does this impact his or her property or family?

Technically none. A very low draft number can be awarded though.

A rarely used punishment is the extension of an individual's draft age for an x number of years. This, in combination with a low draft number, may all but certainly lead sto slavery, but technically it doesn't count as such.

Individuals who help a drafted man dodge the draft, can be imprisoned until the next draft, given the number 1, and have their draft age extended by at least two years.

What sociocultural impact on values, ethics, and philosophy has the legal presence of slavery had upon your population?

It is felt that the Condominium Agreement has saved the state a heavier regime, allowing a level of self-determination to continue, protecting its citizens against Broland levels of drafts and such. Even so, a substantial number of citizens resent the draft, and efforts to dodge it or help those who dodge it are regular occurances. These efforts are rarely successful though.

Do any movements exist within your nation arguing and agitating for the abolition of slavery, or its replacement with indentured servitude? How popular are they?

Yes, abolition is often raised in congress. But our honoring of the Peace Agreement demands that we don't abolish it, or the draft. To do so would be tantamount to a declaration of war, and what would happen if we lose that war?

Has slavery as a social and moral issue been the cause of internal or external conflict with separatists / rebels or foreign powers?

No. Draft dodging and aiding and abetting it are crimes, but not rebellions.

Has your nation had a history of slave rebellions? Which ones were the most prominent?

No.

Has your nation had a point in history where slavery was abolished, but then re-instated? How did this happen?

No.

Are there any facts, details, or information about legal or illegal slavery in your nation not covered by this questionnaire which you wish to share?

The transit of slave labour from Broland states is highly profitable for our nation, and a strong incentive to continue our efforts under the various international agreements and domestic laws to which we have committed ourselves.

Survey II - Slavery is not permitted

By which law or constitutional amendment is slavery prohibited in your nation? Slavery was abolished by decree of the Empress in 1844, then brought back by another decree of the Rangatira (in conjunction with an act of parliament) in 1910 before finally being abolished outright by the Slavery Prohibition Act in 1982.

How long has slavery been prohibited in your nation? Surprisingly not that long - the Slavery Prohibition Act came into effect in 1983.

How common is the presence of human trafficking / illegal slavery within the defined boundaries of your nation? Very rare.

How many people are owned and exploited illegally in your nation? How many for each free wo/man? Unknown, but it's assumed to be a negligible number.

What punishment is mandated for those who are involved with the business of illegal slavery? Usually 20 years in prison

If an illegal slave trade is present, which demographics are most at risk of falling victim to it? N/A

Is indentured servitude, prison labour, or other forms of correctional or legal debt servitude permitted by your nation's laws? Yes

From what forms of labour or use, if any, are indentured servants and prisoners protected by law from being subjected to by their creditors or prison authorities? Anything that puts the person's health or safety at risk is prohibited, they must conform to the same working standards as regularly employees (breaks, no more than 40 hours a week worked) and such labour may not exceed more than 200 hours in total.

What forms of labour or use, if any, are indentured servants and prisoners typically subjected to by their creditors or prison authorities? Usually it'll be picking up litter, painting a wall, digging a hole, etc.

Is the killing, sexual abuse, or exploitation of a person held by force as an illegal slave considered a worse crime or otherwise scaled to existing homicide and sexual abuse laws? It's considered slightly worse as you've committed two crimes rather than just one

What sociocultural impact on values, ethics, and philosophy has the prohibition of slavery had upon your population? There's not a lot of appetite to go back to old system (except amongst extreme right-wing nutters) and it's seen as one of the many positive effects of the reforms of 1979 (even though it was actually abolished by Parliament three years later, not by the constitution).

Do any movements exist within your nation arguing and agitating for the reintroduction of slavery, or the introduction of indentured servitude (if not present)? How popular are they? Yes, most notably the far right Tangatarehua Huihuinga Party which has 5 Mangai-Rohe (MPs) in the House of Representatives.

Has slavery as a social and moral issue been the cause of internal or external conflict with separatists / rebels or foreign powers? Yes. It's been an obvious cause of friction with the west throughout most of the 20th century but internally it's also been controversial with Christians and liberals advocating for its abolition and conservatives arguing to retain it because it's traditional and would upset the feudal system.

Are there any facts, details, or information about legal or illegal slavery in your nation not covered by this questionnaire which you wish to share? Although slavery is abolished, those from the Taurekareka (slave) class still face social stigma and discrimination, even today.

---

This half of the survey deals with slavery as an institution in your nation's past - if slavery has never been permitted, feel free to delete this section.

What legal process in the past did a private citizen or registered company have to go through in order to obtain valid ownership of another human? It was a combination of conquest and punishment. Most Taurekareka (slaves) were born into slavery and would have descended from an Iwi or other group of rebels/invaders/people who were on the losing side of a conquest as a punishment. Generally matters of slavery would be handled by the local Kaitiaki who would frequently gift slaves to loyal Toa (Military class) and occasionally to reward loyal Kaihu (peasants). Though officially all slaves were owned by the Kaitiaki of an area. Taurekareka also comprised a distinct social class, ranking below Kaihu but above Pakeha (foreigners).

Did the forfeit of this process and the use of another human for forced labour constitute a crime under your nation's law at this period in time? Not really, unless it was breaking an agreement (i.e. Kaitiaki A agrees with Kaitiaki B not to enslave anyone from his Iwi (tribe) but then a random Kaihu from Kaitiaki B's Iwi wanders into town and is enslaved by Kaitiaki A - that would be a justifiable casus belli.)

How many slaves on average over the period of legal enslavement were there in relation to free wo/men? It tended to ebb and flow. They were more common than Toa but less than Kaihu, so free people definitely outnumbered slaves.

What punishment was mandated for those who were involved with the business of illegal slavery? It was never a business so N/A

For what tasks, jobs, and roles were slaves typically purchased for by any legal entity? They tended not to be traded or purchased but usually it would be menial or even dangerous jobs, mainly working the land, building things or simply catering to the whims of the upper castes.

Were there any occupations slaves were by law prohibited to hold? Pretty much all occupations were off-limits.

What were the rights of the master over the slave? Could s/he kill the slave at a whim? Was sexual abuse or exploitation of the slave permitted etc? Technically they could do whatever they liked, as long as they had permission from the Kaitiaki. In practice, most Kaitiaki demanded at least a minimum of respect and treatment for slaves so killing them was off the agenda (unless the Kaitiaki was particularly psychotic) however sexual exploitation was extremely common and indeed arguably their most common use.

In accordance to or alongside this, what rights if any did slaves possess under law? As above, none as Tangatarehua had no codified legal system at the time and it depended entirely on whoever possessed (not 'owned') seeking permission to do whatever from whoever was superior to them.

Who was permitted to purchase a slave? Slaves were never purchased, you could only ever be gifted one.

How evenly were slaves distributed amongst the populace of your nation? Which class owned the most slaves etc? As above, technically slaves were only ever owned by the Kaitiaki but usually they were gifted to the Toa class - in fact every Toa family would have at least one slave. Some Kaihu (peasants) also would have a slave but this would be a mark a social status and high regard, usually a reward for a particular service to the Kaitiaki.

What type of slaves were in the highest demand? (Scribes, gladiators, sex slaves, personal retainers etc.) It was never really a question of demand. Slaves were slaves.

By what methods were new slaves acquired by your nation for sale to the population? Again, they were not for sale. It was simply a punishment you were given for a crime, or (more commonly) for being conquered by a rival tribe.

Were slaves drawn from any particular racial or ethnic group? In the ancient days many of the Pango people were enslaved, but they have long since been wiped out/absorbed into society. So no, not really.

Who, if anyone, was protected by law from being enslaved by any process? Technically anyone of Kaitiaki class or below could be enslaved in the right conditions, although the upper classes would usually choose death by kaitangata (ritual cannibalism) over slavery as this was seen as more honourable.

By what process could a slave be freed? Either by a Kaitiaki relieving them of duties (as usually happened when a slave reached a certain age, though technically they remained enslaved) or alternatively a Tohunga (priest) would restore their Mana which would raise them to a higher social class (this was rare and most common when slaves of one tribe were conquered by another, who would enslave that tribe's Toa and free the slaves.)

For what crimes, if any, could a citizen of your nation be stripped of legal rights and sold into slavery? How did this impact his or her property and family? Most common was treason or rebellion, followed by the heinous crime of "losing a battle" but sometimes you could be enslaved for something as simple as stealing an apple.

What sociocultural impact on values, ethics, and philosophy did the legal presence of slavery have on your population? Slavery was inbuilt into the feudal hierarchy system so was seen as totally natural.

How did slavery in your nation end? Were any movements arguing and agitating for the abolition of slavery or its replacement with indentured servitude play a role in this? How popular was the abolition? It was abolished in 1844 when the nation (briefly) converted to Christianity, as slavery was seen as counter to the new national values. It was brought back in 1910 after the abolishment of Christianity (and just prior to the ban of Christianity) as the nation wanted to embrace its traditions and the old hierarchy.

It was finally abolished for good in 1982 by the Liberal Party who were the first party to be freely and fairly elected following the constitutional reforms of 1979 and because the Liberal Party were elected in a large landslide it was assumed that abolishment had widespread popular support.

Did your nation have a history of slave rebellions? Which ones were most prominent? Yes, these happened pretty much every week especially if the slaves were former Toa. Through most of the middle ages it was the closest thing Tangatarehua had to social mobility - you went from military noble, to slave, and back again.

Did your nation abolish slavery before, but re-instate it? How did this happen? Yes, see above - it was abolished in 1844, brought back in 1910, and abolished again in 1982. Its reinstatement was basically due to a national rejection of Christianity and Christian values in favour of traditional values. (It was also strongly pushed by the far right, who held power through much of the mid 20th century, as a cheap and easy way to industrialise the country.)
