The Munkcestrian slave trade is the legalised slave-trade of the Munkcestrian Republic. It is known for being widespread but also for lacking a racial element.

History

The Munkcestrian slave trade as we know it today was instituted in 1950. It also expanded as a war crime of the Azadistani-Munkcestrian Wars after the acquisition of the North-West of Azadistan (except Metropolis).

Treatment of slaves

Slavery in Munkchester lacks practically any regulation. Slaves are treated worse than in many pre-modern societies such as the Ottomans, the Ayyubids, the Ancient Indians or the Ancient Hebrews. Slaves are regularly sold to be raped, child slaves are sold to provide cheap labour and slaves are regularly lynched. They are also sometimes given dangerous workloads or forced into prostitution.

Economics

Most work is done by slaves including many jobs requiring education (similar to the Ancient Romans) Law

The only laws regarding who can and cannot be slaves are 1) Munkcestrian citizens cannot be slaves and 2) Citizens of certain other listed countries cannot be slaves. There is no set race or religion or slaves.
